Race 1 Feedback Thread

So I'll chime in here:

714- Honestly, I feel like your scheme was one of the best ones in the field. To me, it "fit" Budweiser-in fact any other week it would have been a sure-fire winner. But, it honestly looks like a 2-digit number may have worked better. Maybe extending the design out a little further might make it look less empty around your number. Plus, the Budweiser was spot on too, great work on that. Again, this car was really awesome. 
Not a scheme thing, but maybe a pure side shot would make the scheme analysis a bit easier. I had to take a second look to really admire the work put into it.

Leadfoot-To me your design was basically lackluster. It had a good try, just the way the spikes are angled (especially the second one) and the dull gray just makes the car look boring. Maybe use that grid/mesh thing on the car, and work on the length and angle of the spikes, it could be a good scheme. And the contingencies are a mess...that could use work. Make them smaller and more compact 

Energy-You took my concept and made it cooler....not cool. -1/10 bad idea

JK, your car actually seemed pretty nice. The tread mark on the scheme was a great touch, but I felt the triangles going against the design made it look like there was an anvil by the LR, which unless it's a Looney Toons paint scheme, ain't a great thing. Otherwise, I felt your car was pretty good, but Mr. Gradients, I feel as if maybe adding a gradient to a red (or making a dark red outline) could have made the design 'pop' a little more.

Nightowl-Honestly, maybe adding the red to the inside of the number takes you from #2 in Exide to a top 5 overall finish. This car was literally so perfectly executed, I felt that a small thing like that really was something that caught my eye. Also, why does the light green stop at the end of the side skirt? It could have flowed on to the fender easily. Just little things like that made that car a 9th-10th place car instead of a top 5 car.

Kane-For taking the backup car out (I could tell it was for a different weekend with the stars) on a short notice, it was a nice car! The stars were a little out of place, which honestly, with how close every car was, made a difference. I woulda liked to see the roof design end up on the decklid, woulda made it flow easier. Otherwise, like 714, if the stars weren't there and the competition wasn't so stiff, this car woulda been a front runner.

IJaRD-I couldn't tell if it was camera or actual design, but if it was actual design, that car is awesome. I can't wait to see more works. Honestly, maybe adding some of that light blue into the design on the sides and downsizing that flag on the bumper (it looks weird, I wouldn't make the USA flag that unproportional on the rear) and the ring would make it work better. Otherwise, you have awesome talent and can only get better.
PS-since when was Ken Block an Canadian?

jhartwig-I loved this scheme. It fit the logo of Milwaukee Tools nicely actually. I guess that the gray on the decklid honestly looked out of proportion in some shots, but that could have been the sun. IDK, but either way looked very nice. Honestly, there's not much else that I can think of.  

gatoradefan11- As soon as you showed me that car, I knew that immediately yours was one that was going to be hard to beat. It was. It looks awesome, maybe some more red in the interior of the car? If it looks ugly change it, but otherwise this car was a top car. I loved it. As far as improving it, maybe a light gray flame up on top of the design would look pretty dope. If, for scoring, we have team identity and part of that is contingency packs, I SENT A CONTINGENCY PACK TO YOU DUDE. FOR REALS.*
*Meeting will occur later*

Spud-I know you won and everything (good job, by the way), but honestly, I kinda wasn't feeling the whole diamond grid thing with DHL. If it was supposed to be a collaboration with Craftsman, then I understand that. Just wondering about that. Otherwise that scheme was awesome.

Any suggestions on mine?
