I dont think they are going to race with that color.

Normally, they use orange for a few prototypes as it is the old McLaren color (remember the Can Am cars)

thought it would be same orange as the LM but looks a little different.

It will go well with the red flames coming out from their engine :P~

hmmm....orange is second to red is it? :lol:

ya it is a testing colour, just like BAR uses bare carbon fiber.

The orange is the official colour of mclaren. Bruce Mclaren used this colour on his CANAM cars. I know they use it since the mp4 12 to unveil their new car "unofficial" in wintertesting trim.

It looks good.. Think it's the same Orange as the one on the CLK DTM .. I think it should be their official F1 color.. it's nice and it catches the eyes..

the colour of the team is that of the sponsor,
b4 it was red/white because of marlboro
black/silver because of west

I hope Mclaren uses orange instead of silver this year, though I doubt that the bosses at Mercedes will be too happy at the thought. It looks good and the car looks really swoopy this year.

That is correct my friend :P Red cars first then orange .....actually then we don`t give a damn what`s after :mrgreen:

What about the Johnny Walker contract ? I`ve seen a photoshoped image , and the Mcl was looking nicer than this one .
