Autobahn Racing










The Project
We were approached by a local garage to create a distinctive brand identity for their newly established racing team competing in North Devon Motor Club events. With a talented local driver and competitive machinery, they needed a professional image to match their ambitions and support their additional service offerings to fellow competitors.
Our design solution centred on a striking orange and black colour scheme, chosen specifically to create maximum impact both on track and in media coverage. This bold palette proved instantly recognisable and conveyed both approachability and authority—essential qualities for building trust with potential clients in the motorsport community.
The comprehensive branding package included team apparel, with personalised hoodies and t-shirts unifying the crew’s appearance, whilst distinctive vehicle livery ensured the race car commanded attention amongst its competitors. We also developed their web presence, creating a streamlined, mobile-responsive website that effectively showcased their services, including their specialist DPF cleaning division.
The success of this branding exercise was immediately apparent in the paddock, generating significant interest without traditional marketing efforts. As the team achieved impressive results in their debut season, their professional appearance helped establish credibility and trust with potential clients.
The project demonstrates how cohesive branding can elevate an organisation’s presence in its sector, creating organic marketing opportunities through visual impact alone. The foundation we created continues to support their growth in both racing and commercial endeavours.
