MotoGP teams have unveiled an array of 12 special liveries that will contest the series' throwback-themed British Grand Prix, celebrating the championship's 75-year anniversary.
There are only 11 teams on the current MotoGP grid, but LCR runs split liveries due to one entry being backed by Castrol and another by Idemitsu - so has likewise prepared two different colour schemes for the Silverstone race.
The key word there is 'race', singular, as - as is usually the practice in MotoGP versus other championships - bikes usually only run in special colour schemes on the final day of the race weekend, and this is again expected to be the case here.
Here are the liveries in current championship order, and what the inspiration behind them is.
The Ducati livery was Pecco Bagnaia's suggestion to its CEO Claudio Domenicali - the GP3 that Ducati debuted in MotoGP with and won in its first season with Loris Capirossi.
"Unluckily just some sponsors that cover too much the livery!" Bagnaia admitted, straying potentially a little too far from the corporate message, though he got back on track by adding: "But for me it's very nice, it's fantastic.
"And I'm very happy for this kind of initiative. It's great, I like it a lot."
The Pramac team trades its usual purple colours for a return to red - although this is just a coincidence.
The livery is instead a reference to Angel Nieto - a rider with six titles in 50cc and seven titles in 125cc.
Specifically, this is the livery used by Nieto in his final 125cc titles, with Italian manufacturer Garelli.
Gresini already ran a tribute owner for its late team owner Fausto Gresini, who passed away from complications from a COVID-19 infection, in the year of his death in 2021 - but this is a much simplified version.
Like with Nieto, it is a callback to the 125cc titles Gresini won with Garelli - in 1985 and 1987.
Marc Marquez, who joined Gresini this season, described is as an "emotional" livery.
Aprilia ambassador Max Biaggi won four 250cc titles in the 1990s, three of them with Aprilia - all three running a primarily black livery.
"To pay tribute to him is unbelievable. I think it's the most beautiful Aprilia bike ever, it's an honour to race with," said rider Aleix Espargaro.
Valentino Rossi's team was probably never going to shout out the actual Ducatis Rossi rode in MotoGP, so has gone with a personal colour scheme from an infinitely more successful season.
The livery references a helmet Rossi ran in 2008, en route to a dominant reclaiming of his MotoGP crown.
KTM has been fairly consistent in its works team liveries during its MotoGP tenure so far, so its Silverstone special is no MotoGP reference.
Instead, it has paid homage to the first KTM road racer - the bike designed by brand veteran Wolfgang Felber in 1988.
"The milestone was the first foundation step in the road racing program that has produced elite-level prototype two-stroke and four-stroke machinery," KTM said.
The other KTM RC16s on the grid - ones badged as Gas Gas bikes - will be white, too.
"Gas Gas is a new brand," rider Augusto Fernandez pointed out, so the design appears to have been simply an attempt to make a big change from the bikes' usual red colour scheme.
It's Trackhouse's first season in MotoGP, so the American team was always going to go with a wider USA theme.
It settled on honouring MotoGP's 11 premier-class American winners, from the earliest one in Pat Hennen (who passed away earlier this season) to the most recent one in Ben Spies, with a total of 154 wins among them.
Branding for title sponsor Monster Energy remains prominent but the reference livery is instantly recognisable, with Yamaha paying tribute to its early-1970s colours made famous by Giacomo Agostini and Jarno Saarinen.
Agostini won his final 500cc title with Yamaha, while Saarinen tragically lost his life aged 27 at Monza shortly after having emerged as a Yamaha premier-class superstar.
Takaaki Nakagami's Honda will be adorned with a Japanese flag-themed livery this Sunday - a streamlined version of the bike's existing colour scheme backed by Japanese petroleum company Idemitsu.
Likewise, Johann Zarco's bike retains a heavy presence from primary sponsor Castrol - but also doubles as a tribute to Mike Hailwood and his famous Isle of Man TT comeback (above) on a Castrol-liveried Ducati. in 1978.
Factory Honda team's tribute livery goes back to its works team's pre-Repsol era.
It is instead a reference to the first of two 500cc titles won for Honda by Freddie Spencer - who currently serves as MotoGP's chief steward but will bow out at the end of the season - in the 1980s.
