Shooting for the Stars: STARtec Development Reveal!
​
TSUKUBA CIRCUIT, JAPAN - STARtec DEVELOPMENTS have been hard at work with their Formula B-Spec machine, and after tedious months of engineering, scouting, and training, the time is finally here for the Japanese team to reveal their car for Season 3.

STARtec are new comers to the open wheel racing scene, but are poised to make a huge impression in the series, fielding a Honda-powered car being driven by none other than Sebastien Ogier, 3 time WRC World Champion and guest driver in Porsche Supercup.

"We're gonna kick some butt with this dude who whips Volkswagens in the middle of nowhere!!!" Team Director, Haruhi Suzumiya exclaimed, "It took a ton of persuasion and a lot of money to get this guy here, but once we told him that there would be gravel traps to run in, he took the offer up right away! I hope he knows each shortcut in every track!"

"I have many expectations that I must meet within the team." A serious Ogier stated during the Tsukuba reveal party. "First of all, many believe that my rallying efforts will not seamlessly transfer into open wheel racing. I have a ton of confidence in my driving to prove my critics wrong, but to do that, I will need to put up good results. With Startec, I have trust in the team to give me a fast car every race, and their trust corresponds to me piloting the car."

Lead engineer, Ayako Nana, put in her thoughts for the season ahead.

"We have a very good handling car this season, as private testing has revealed. With the combination of the Honda engine and our chassis development, we could be more likely to have better results at the most technical tracks. However, we are afraid that the engine might be just a bit too underpowered compared to the rest of the field. Only time will tell!"

Minutes after the interview, the team principal and Ogier lifted off the covers of the #44 STARtec DEVELOPMENTS machine.

GLOBAL RACING LEAGUES ANNOUNCES COLLABORATION WITH MTP​

After several weeks of conversing with the Council of Motorsport Team Principals (MTP), the Global Racing Authority (the governing body for GRL) is proud to announce a technical partnership. The main details include a complete unification of the Sports Car racing ladder, including all-new vehicle homologation from numerous world-class manufacturers. Technical regulations for the various cars which will compete in these classes have been rebuilt from the ground up, and are designed with a set of standards in mind. The collaboration will allow competitors in MTP to transfer setup data as well as vehicle liveries over to GRL (and vice versa) with little effort. "To be able to compete in both GRL and MTP's Endurance series seamlessly is a huge boon for many teams - and a relief on our budgets," said team principal Haruna Tsuchigami of Tsuchigami no Kyojin, Honda's Works Team in GRL's GT Endurance PRO division.

Fixed, should have everyone here tagged properly now.
 
The Starion car is done, save for a few quirks, but we'll not be showing it off. It's not that good and we're rushing to make the plane.
 
I'm open for livery creation help if anyone needs it. Will post a "sample" of what I'm capable of later.
 
If whoever makes my car makes this

I'll be happy. For the yellow, use the hex code CEFF01, aside from that it's up to you :lol:
 
I did the original, but I probably won't be able to get to my computer for a little while. If I do though, I can try to find the "Swift Autosport" logo for it and whoever takes this on for you.
