White race sedan

A white race saloon from behind on a wet track, lettered all over its tail. Three names read: VB across the rear window, IMOFF across the rear bumper and LUBER.FIX at the end of a line down the rear quarter; the rest sit under this site's floor for lettering.

The car is a white saloon in race trim, seen from behind and slightly from its left: a tall rear wing on two dark uprights stands over the boot lid, there is a small aerial on the roof, and spray hangs over the wet tarmac at the top left of the crop. The race it is in, with a black coupe and a black muscle car running ahead of it, is on the circuit-racing page.

The rear window is a black banner. A large VB monogram in a blackletter face sits across the top, with a line of small capitals under it, and below the wing run three more names in smaller type: a blackletter word, a word beside a small round mark, and a lowercase word. All four of those lines sit under this site’s letter floor, so the page does not read them.

The other names are low down or on the flank. Across the rear bumper, below the boot lid, IMOFF is set in heavy italic capitals behind five speed lines, with a smaller line of type under it that sits under the floor. On the near rear quarter a diagonal line of dark capitals runs down from below the side window towards the tail light; its beginning does not come apart, and its end reads LUBER.FIX. On the left-hand corner of the bumper, under the tail light, is a small decal with a stripe beneath it, also under the floor.

The livery runs in bands across the lower boot lid, broken by the plate recess: red at the left, under the tail light, then black either side of the recess, then dark blue, and a brighter teal carries on round the far corner. A dark blue stripe also sweeps down the near rear quarter below the lettered line.

None of the names is necessarily the car’s own maker. Sponsor decals and manufacturer badges sit in different places on a race car, and this one carries two badges of its own on the boot lid: a blue roundel with a pale device, centred, and a small three-colour badge at its right-hand end. Neither carries lettering that comes apart at this size. Left of the roundel a faint grey script runs across the boot lid, and it does not come apart either.

How to recognise it

• Tall rear wing on two dark uprights over the boot lid
• Black banner across the rear window with a VB monogram in a blackletter face at the top
• Three more lines of small sponsor type on the banner below the wing, under the letter floor
• IMOFF in heavy italic capitals across the rear bumper, behind five speed lines
• A diagonal line of dark capitals down the near rear quarter, ending in LUBER.FIX
• A blue roundel in the middle of the tail and a small three-colour badge to its right
• Bands of red, black, dark blue and teal across the lower rear

The frame it comes from

The frame is Extended Look at 17:41.80. It is 3840 by 2160, and the vehicle occupies 1113 by 842 of it. Also in it: the race circuit, a black muscle race car, a race coupe number 88, and a race car in green livery.

How this was measured

These figures come from the dataset, not from the prose above. We measure everything and claim what counts. How we work

What we still do not know

• Which of the names, if any, is the manufacturer. The roundel on the boot is where a maker’s badge sits, and its device does not come apart into letters at this size.
• The model; the faint script on the boot lid does not read
• What the lines under the floor say: the four on the rear window, the one under IMOFF and the decal on the bumper corner
• Everything measured: top speed, acceleration, handling, price, where it spawns
