The OPTIMA Batteries OneLapCamaro get a new look...

[James OLC]

In December we reached out to a several prominent artists in the PT community with the hopes of having a contest to design a new look for the OPTIMA Batteries OneLapCamaro and at the end of the day four very talented individuals - Carter Hickman, Ben Hermance, Otis Black, and Nelson Michael - provided renderings for us. Unfortunately time and logistics kept us from running the contest that we had originally envisioned - race day is only six weeks away and we have a ton of work left to do - so we put the decision in the hands of our sponsors.

After a couple of weeks of careful deliberation I'm proud to unveil Carter Hickman's rendering and winning design...



Carter really hit this one out of the park and his rendering is heading to the wrap shop next week to be brought to life!

On behalf of the OneLapCamaro Team - David, Mary, and myself - and our sponsors - OPTIMA Batteries, Hellwig Products, RideTech, Baer Brakes, HRE Wheels, and FM3 Performance Marketing - thank you to everyone involved!

Race Ready...

They're all good. Tough decision for the sponsors, but they made a good choice.

The renderings look awesome James. I like the final choice.

Man all of those are sweet looking. I think the winning one has the best billboard for Optima though as it's the easiest to read.

Great Choice. Can't wait to see it in person.

[ironworks]

Wow tough choice. They all look good.

[Roberts68]

They do all look great.

You couldn't have gone wrong but I applaud the final decision.

You have also however officially "retro"-fied my existing T-shirts... but I'm cool with that.

I do believe the OLC has achieved a style points upgrade. The new look ought to shave a bit off your times for sure!

PS. I have new "wallpaper" strikingly similar to your new design.
