Icy livery for Kimi Räikkönen’s Chevrolet

Kimi Räikkönen is getting closer and closer to his first experience in Nascar. The Finn, ex-pilot of F1 and WRC, will soon add a new string to its bow. The world champion will be at the start of the next round at Watkins Glen, on August 21, with the Trackhouse Racing team, as part of Project91. A few days before the event, the team unveiled the livery which will be attached to the No. 91 Chevrolet Camaro. And the least we can say is that she is the image of the “Iceman”…

Add this one to the list of things I never thought I'd do in my life! What an insanely cool opportunity to create this paint scheme for F1 Champion, Kimi Raikkonen 🥶

Mainly blue and black, with touches of fluorescent yellow, the livery corresponds well to the “cold” personality of Kimi Räikkönen. It is reminiscent of the colors of the Finn's helmets at the start of his career with Sauber and McLaren, in F1. 

Kimi Räikkönen, 42, was able to test the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 bearing the number 91 on the hilly circuit of the Virginia International Raceway (VIR) this Thursday, August 11. The Finn obviously quickly adapted to driving the beast equipped with a 8-liter V5.9 developing 560 horsepower. “ I wouldn't know what to compare it to, he replied when asked about his first sensations. But it was nice to be able to get some laps in even if it's not the exact car I'm going to race with. However, everything went well so it's only a profit. » See you on August 21 to follow the “Iceman”’s first race in Nascar.
