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.

Thanks!
It's a rendering software called Keyshot, it's a very good program, and much more friendly than the other 3D softwares like 3DSMax, Maya, Blender, etc. (but it's a rendering software only, you can't model anything with it)

That's ok, I'm only good with renders so this is fine.
 
@Rebellion765 are you capable of doing the style of the yellow and black Jordan? That's what I'd like but with Valvoline blue and white and then some of the complex aero stuff in the red. Many thanks would be in order if that's possible.
 
@Earth, @Rebellion765 has sent me my paint scheme in the form of DDS files, to get them to you should I just upload the ZIP they came in again or something else?

Okuma Motorsports Livery Reveal
​
Oguchi, JPN - Just a few days before the teams are set to arive in Jerez for the preseason testing for the third season of Formula B-Spec, Okuma Motorsports has pulled the veils off of their car for this season. The team manager, Hideyoshi Okuma, was on hand, along with the car's driver, Jordan Taylor. And his dog, Fonzie. The three took questions about their expectations for the upcoming season, and even went into detail about a few things. Shortly after, they walked over to the car, and pulled off the covers to show the car's livery. First, we'll share a few quotes from the Q&A session.

Audience Member 1: So, Jordan, what's the estimated worth of all the dog toys and Juicy Juice that you'll recieve throughout the course of this season?
Jordan: Well.. I'm going to have to say around.... Maybe... $836. I think. Yea... That. Mhmm.

Audience Member 2: Fonzie, what's your favorite part about getting free toys?
Fonzie: Woof.
AM2: Ah, got it! Thanks.

Audience Member 3: Hi Hideyoshi! How do you feel about the season, the calendar, and the car?
Hideyoshi: Overall, I believe the competition is going to be very good, but I know we are well prepared. The team is very strong, and we've hired a good selection of engineers. I know Jordan is going to drive the car to its fullest potential, and I do believe we will see a win by the end of the season. As for the calendar, I hope to do well in our home event here in Japan, and also for the big race in Monaco, and the other fan favorites such as Spa and Monza.

After that, therenwere a few more, which may or may not have involved Jordan being asked if he was a closet weeb... Anyways, soon after, they got up and walked over to the car which was draped in a silk tarp. They pulled it off, and this is what the audience saw in front of them:

Please excuse the dirt layer!

Traditional to Okuma fashion, the car features a yellow base, with the Okuma logo in blue extending up the nose cone. Prominent sponsors include BBS, Bilstein, Bridgestone, Mugen, Raybrig and Tamiya. As previously noted beforehand, Okuma will be the primary sponsor, and Honda will provide the engines for the season. #22 will be run on the car.

That's all for now, so stay tuned during the next week while testing is taking place! We will be sharing frequent updates from the track during the sessions. See you all there!

TSUCHIGAMI ON THE WORLD STAGE
Suzuka International Racing Circuit, Suzuka, Mie Prefecture, Japan​

For the very first time in the team's history, Tsuchigami no Kyojin have confirmed their participation in the highest level of Grand Prix competition. They have partnered up with WSC Le Mans 24H GTLM winners Scuderia Pergusa and World GP engine manufacturer Honda in the goals of bringing Japanese engineering to the forefront, spiced up with an international flavor. "This is a partnership centered around a group driven almost entirely by passion, a desire to race," team principal Haruna Tsuchigami states. "The Tsuchigami Akagi GP1 is our finest work yet; no other vehicle in our race team's line-up is as technologically advanced as this machine!"

Since 1998, the team has made its presence known in a number of top-level Japanese racing leagues, from Super Formula to Japan Super GT. The dream project of then Touring and GT superstar Haruna Tsukimura (now a Tsuchigami herself) and Isamu Tsuchigami, they set out with the goal of winning Japan's greatest races together.

In latest news, Tsuchigami no Kyojin has signed former F1 driver Takuma Sato to be part of the Formula racing season. "The Tsuchigamis are a unique experience in my racing career. They're so whimsical, yet these same people pour in huge amounts of love into the team." Although some have been very critical of Haruna's decision to sign him onto the team, she believes he's a perfect fit; "Takuma puts so much heart and effort in when he's racing; in our eyes, he's a perfect fit for our team!"

After a series of interview questions, Haruna in all of her maid-costume wearing glory revealed the Tsuchigami Akagi GP1.

Wernher & Noah Motorsports Livery Reveal​

Wernher & Noah would like to announce and reveal the official livery we will be running. These photos were taken at our private testing in Hungary.

The design is in resemblance of Wernher & Noah's colors and the 118th Mobius squadron; the fighter squadron in which Wernher & Noah Enterprises developed high-spec aircraft for in the mid-2000's. Other sponsors include Bandai Namco, Bridgestone, Mahle, Mobil 1, and Project Aces. Behind the wheel will be Katherine Legge who is a former Champ Car and Indycar driver now currently driving for the Wernher & Noah FBS team. The team will also be running with the Mercedes powerplant in the car for this season.

"It'll be something new for me" Katherine stated at the Hungaroring private test. "I've been in open wheel for the majority of my career, but never behind an F1 car. It should be a fun and exciting experience."

We look forward to the season ahead and wish the best of luck to the team and all of the other competing teams!
 
@Angel, your car is nearly complete. Will be done before the deadline.
 
Estoril, Portugal- Ahead of the the test days at Jerez, we at TRB Motorsports are proud to unveil our car for the upcoming season.

As some of you may know, I have an affinity for paint schemes of classic race cars, and this season isn't any different. Our paint scheme is my interpretation of a classic open wheeler, and without further ado here it is:



 
OK, are we running the series with the long fin or without? I set mine up to run without.
 
If Erf-san hasn't done so already, there shouldn't be any difference in performance with or without the fin. My car just looks cooler with it on.
 
I asked about the fin, it won't be used.

Also, (official) car reveal scheduled for today!
 
Team Pezzarinho Car Gets Jerez Shakedown from Fernando Alonso

ec2a7467db.jpg

​
Ahead of tomorrows official test day, Team Pezzarinho completed a filming day at the Jerez circuit as Fernando Alonso put the first miles on the new car. It was a low key launch compared to some previously seen, with the garage doors lifted at 9:00am to reveal the team colours before Alonso departed for the circuit itself.

Season 3 promises to be a testing season for Team Pezzarinho, having raced in Seasons 1 and 2 with the support of the McLaren F1 team. Team Pezzarinho have distanced themselves from the Woking based outfit since then however, and a question mark remains over whether they have the capability to launch a title assault under their own personnel.

Team Pezzarinho looked to have answered their critics in the World Sportscar Championship, taking both the drivers and teams championships to add to the Season 1 Formula B Spec Championship title. There will be high hopes that they are able to regain that top spot having finished runners up last season as well.

The new livery features the same dark blue that was used on the Porsche 919 WSC entry, along with lighter blue highlights as seen on the #16 and with white sponsor logos. The light grey has been replaced by a much darker tone and features more prominently within the design. In a move that follows the recent trend within Formula 1, matte paint is preferred though metallic stickers have been used.

Sponsors:
Sony
Mercedes Benz
Bridgestone
Puma
DHL

MOON SQUAD READY TO SHINE
Higashiyama, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan.
​
After a successful first season in the Global Racing League sports car ladder, the rising star in Japanese motorsports, Tsukuyomi Racing Project is set to run their most ambitious project since its creation, fielding an entry in Formula B-Spec championship, the top level of Grand Prix racing. They will join forces with the chassis and aero parts manufacturer Arkbird, a Brazilian game and graphic design studio, Rebellion Design, and the car manufacturer Ferrari, who will supply engines for the moon squad cars.
The team presented the Tsukuyomi Luna-001 in a small meeting before flying to Spain for the test week at Jerez de la Frontera. The team driver, 4-times Japanese SUPER GT GT500-class champion Ronnie Quintarelli and team branch principal Setsuka Takahashi talked about what to expect from the upcoming season.

Definitely it's going to be a tough season, the competition will be fierce, but I believe in our work, we are prepared. Our engineers did a great job, and Ronnie's experience and prowess in the race track will surely help us to step up our game. But first and foremost, we're here to learn.
It's awesome to make part of this, to drive for a team like Tsukuyomi. I'm very optimistic about the season, I believe that we're ready to go. I hope that my experience can bring good results for us.

The car livery consists of an unusual shade of purple as the base, with black paintbrush-like detalis and purple highlights. The team will also carry the number 76 for the season.
