Why did Lancia's Alitalia and Martini liveries feel like culture, while today’s racing cars look like rolling PowerPoint slides?
In this episode of Return On Racing, we break down what made iconic racing liveries work and why modern sponsorship models almost guarantee visual clutter.
We look at how the shift from a few deep “identity partners” to a long tail of logo buyers has changed the way cars, overalls, and garages are designed.
We'll also unpack the role of brand guidelines and abstract sponsors like banks and tech firms, and explain why fans instinctively feel they’re being sold to rather than invited into a world.
Most importantly, we'll outline what teams could actually do to bring the magic back.
