Maybe they're still trying to distance themselves from their LeMans performance, both garage doors rolled down by the end of the race. They're new so I cut them some slack on a 24 hour race but I'll bet the team doesn't.

that orange is a match to the dutch olympic team color. i like it even more now because it returns back to the country/color sceme formerly used by all teams in f1.

That looks very nice. Hopefully they can get a good young driver in a race seat soon.

Spyker goes orange
Tuesday 19 September at 12:27

Not unexpectedly, Spyker MF1 racing has changed their colours to orange, much like the Spyker Squadron livery used in the LMES series. This will better reflect the team's new Dutch ownership*.

The familiar Spyker Squadron colours of orange and silver appeared on the Spyker MF1 car for the first time at Silverstone during the Tuesday test.

The new livery will make the Spyker cars more distinguishable from the various other predominantly red cars on the grid - fans have especially complained that, in distant shots, it is hard to distinguish the MF1's and the McLarens. Oddly enough McLaren is another team with a history rich in orange - a colour in which they ran for many years when the team was in its infancy.

*Orange is a traditional dutch colour, being the heraldic colour of William The Silent who became Stadholder of the Netherlands in the sixteenth century.

I like. Probably makes Ron Dennis happy too...although it sure looks like the traditional CanAm Bruce McLaren orange.
