So much so, we ran four one-off liveries during 2025 that were the talk of the paddock.
They may have only been raced for one Grand Prix each, but they live on in our memories and, of course, in this: VCARB’s 2025 Livery Recap.
And we know what you’re thinking: “But admin, the VCARB 02 was already a sight to behold!”, and you’d be right there. When we revealed our fresh design of the VCARB 02 at F1 75 at the O2 Arena in London, fans couldn’t get enough of it (neither could we). But in Miami, Silverstone, Austin and Las Vegas, we gave our cars that little extra sprinkle of ✨pzaz✨. So let’s run you through our best looks of the year.
We came out of the gates swinging for our first limited edition livery, hitting the beach in Miami in an incredibly subtle way. Just in case Miami wasn’t hot enough, we brought the HEAT with this livery. DJ Khaled and Timothee Chalamet were on the VCARB Summer Edition vibe train, too, repping our limited edition colours up and down the paddock, both looking like fresh, stylish and distinguished gentlemen.
I mean, all while celebrating the launch of the new limited-time offering: Red Bull Summer Edition White Peach. We revealed the livery at the Joia Beach Club on Jungle Island, inviting athletes, creators, journalists and fans to see the VCARB 02 in the flesh with the Miami skyline in the background.
We also got points in magenta, just saying… Liam picked up a P7 in the Saturday Sprint, so magenta really does bring out the best in us.
British Grand Prix (HUGO x Slawn)
Next up was our one-off livery for the 2025 British Grand Prix. Spray cans at the ready!
In partnership with Slawn, a British-Nigerian artist, and HUGO, we revealed our one-off livery in all its spray-painted glory. The design of the VCARB 02 is rooted in the raw, unfiltered aesthetic of streetwear culture. It’s contemporary, bold and lived-in. Slawn gets his inspiration from his surroundings and pulls from his roots in Nigeria and his current life in London by leaning into street art culture. And we tell you what, it’s bloody nice. Not our words, the words of Mr Liam Lawson and Mr Isack Hadjar.
Slawn also painted our garages in the run-up to the British Grand Prix, but the car design itself wasn’t as simple as laying a stencil. Slawn’s designs are so intricate, and our cars have so many different shapes, curves and lines, that lining up the design perfectly meant parts of the car had to be entirely stripped down and rebuilt to make everything match. The team said that wrapping the car was like doing a 3D jigsaw puzzle, and we can’t really blame them. You can see the effort in the details.
That’s two for two in one-off liveries, so we had to make sure we landed with our next one.
Our third one-off livery teased VCARB fans across the globe with a simple ‘howdy’ in the run-up to race week. Our first reveal of the United States Grand Prix was a limited edition team kit, but there was a much larger paint job on the horizon…
In partnership with Cash App’s Tortoise Card, VCARB produced a short film with multi-platinum singer, songwriter and producer Shaboozey and online personality Calab Pressley, directed by Alex Russell of The Bear fame.
We went for a pearlescent black and amber tortoise pattern, a perfect match for the rootin-tootin’ hoedown that is the 2025 United States Grand Prix. The livery represented VCARB’s ongoing mission to infuse the words of motorsport, music and American culture, all in one striking, speedy, Shaboozey-flavoured statement.
And then there was the car reveal. Oh boy, would you look at that.
Plus, one of our finest social videos of the year was filmed donning the iconic tortoise pattern team kit. Though we might be biased, we’d say that’s 3/3 for one-off liveries in 2025.
Las Vegas Grand Prix (Holographic Cash App)
But wait, there’s still one more!
We had to go out with a bang, but first, Liam had to finish his crossword. With that out of the way, it was time to say “HOLO” to our fourth and final one-off livery of the 2025 season. This time, we rolled out the red carpet at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, revealing the VCARB 02 in a holographic special livery which, under the lights of Vegas, was truly something else.
This livery was inspired by the Holo Card, the newest addition to Cash App’s lineup of cards. With it, the livery continued VCARB and Cash App’s tradition of blending culture, technology, and design on and off the track. It’s holographic design carried beyond the VCARB 02, with a full dedicated garage takeover and the production of special drivers’ race suits, boots, and gloves.
Needless to say, Vegas suited us, and Isack even bagged points with a P8 finish on the Vegas Strip. You could say Isack said ‘HOLO’ to the points in Vegas… No? Okay, moving on.
There you have it. Four special liveries that took the world of F1 by storm. Whether you’re team Magenta, team Slawn, team tortoise or team holographic, there was a VCARB colour scheme for everybody this year.
