This Aston Martin Vantage GT2 livery design has been created for the 2010 DUNLOP Tyres 24 Heures du Mans Livery Contest.

My idea was to use the basic shape of the provided fingerprint style slogan “Feel the Road” to create a livery resembling a tiger fur. On one hand I wanted the Aston Martin racecar to look fast and beautiful like a tiger or cheetah. On the other hand, I wanted to retain an element of classic racing heritage – the racing stripes. This was done by adding white to the tire tread element.
