Bar To Alternate 2000 Livery.

British American Racing is planning to alternate its paint schemes next season, after its dual 1999 livery caused problems with the FIA.


This is the assumption made following a leak of the new livery at Spa last weekend. Pictures of the team's proposed 2000 paintjob - shown around the paddock by, of all people, Bernie Ecclestone - show next season's BAR displayed in a predominantly white livery with blue 555 branding. The lack of Lucky Strike logos has prompted speculation that the team will swap sponsors according to race location next season.
