Works fine on my computer. It's then just placing the file in the right place at Earth's end and calling it the right thing.

But what logo I can put on the white top? Because I'm in doubts.

I do not understand how I can't get the lighting to work on my end like that.

Personally, I would take some from the nose. The number there draw more attention to the vast clear spaces. Otherwise you could just repeat some of them on it, or go for Toshiba. Your call, Toshiba seems to be the title sponsor at the moment, which would normally mean that they get the prime space on engine cover.

If you use GIMP I can give you the wire frame without the white colors so you can work as a guide of where everything is, to use it you have to open the Layers window and drag it so it is below your design and drag it up again so it won't cause you any problem.

Toshiba logo is in the wing, but it could be an great idea. Moreover, I'll try to upgrade the top.

Can't see images?

Literally just downloaded it and it worked like that... You can change where the light source is located though? Presuming it needs rFactor to run, then maybe change configuration settings. Here are mine:

Could someone edit the top of the monocoque for me please? I can't do properly and I'm struggling with the top...

Presuming you are happy with the Ferrari logo suggested above, I might be able to do this in the morning?

Swift Autosport Reveal
​
I'd like to thank all of you for coming to our press conference on such short notice. We'd like to start with a little history on the team, & what created this new team.

History of Swift Autosport​
There isn't much to be said about the teams history.

What Started It All​

It all came together late in season 1. After the 6th place finish at Silverstone. I was irritated with the team after they changed the setup on me without telling me, then costing me time on pit road just topped it off. So the next week I started my own team. The final race in Suzuka is when it all came together for the new team.

Dawn of A New Season​

Now it's time for the big reveal. We'd like to start by introducing our driver. Everyone please give the driver of the #50 for Swift Autosport a warm welcome to the team, & back to the sport. Welcome S. Smith, "Welcome Smith, you got anything you wanna say before we start the big reveal?".

"I'd just like to thank Swift Autosport, Ferrari (Oops I think I've said to much.),& everyone who has believed in me all throughout my first season here in F.B.S. it means a lot to me that someone gave me a second chance after my poor performance in my first season."

"Thanks Smith for those kind words, & yes you did say a little bit to much. That's okay though that just means not everything will be a surprise."

The "BIG" Reveal​

"Well Smith what do you say we kick this reveal off by showing everyone your new helmets?"

"Well I'd say now's a good time sense we have everyone here. But why must we show off the best part before we reveal, the 6 companies that decided they would give me another shot!? I'm gonna reveal one helmet,& car at a time then talk about the new sponsors what do you say boss?"

"Sounds like a plan to me go for it."

"Then what are we waiting for lets get the show on the road."

Here Goes Nothing​

"We'll start with helmet, & car on my left. Here they are!"

"I'd like to welcome Ferrari, Red Bull, VP Racing Fuels, & Hankook Competition Tire; to the Swift Autosport family."

"Now it's time for the other paint scheme I'll be using throughout the season to be revealed. Here it is!"

"Once again I'd like to welcome Ferrari, Renegade Racing Fuels, Monster Energy, & Falken Tires; to the Swift Autosport family."

Sponsor Introduction​

"I'll start by introducing the engine, & chassis supplier. Everyone welcome Ferrari!"

brand-reversioning-ferrari-ford-logo-590x327.jpg


"Ferrari said they would come on bored about a week ago after hours of negotiations. So we'd like to thank them for saying they would supply our engines, & chassis."

Funny story about a month ago we started talks with Honda about maybe just supplying our chassis, & we would have someone else supply the engines.

It wasn't known who but when we talked to Honda about having Ferrari be the engine supplier they wanted no part of this team. So there we were back to square one no chassis, no engines, just a driver, a shop, a hauler, & a crew ready to give up.

We called Porsche & talked to them they flat out said no because we didn't have the champion or a driver that finished on the podium, & we were a new team.

So in a last minute call for help we called Ferrari. We were on the phone with the Ferrari for 3 hours arguing back & forth until they finally said yes. So we gave them a promise before we got off the phone. "We will not let you down. Before the season is over we will have a podium."

"Now it's time to introduce the rest of our sponsors. Lets give a big hand to Red Bull, Monster Energy, Hankook Tires, Falken Tires, Renegade Racing Fuels, & VP Racing Fuels for all agreeing to sponsor this somewhat low budget team."

"We'd like to thank all 6 of these companies for putting their differences aside to help our little team."

"A great deal was made with all companies for why they all said they would join. In both contracts it was said that it would be a mini competition between the two cars. So that is something else to watch other than the main championship."

Once again we would like to thank all of these big name sponsors for coming on bored. We hope it will be a great season, & we're gonna give it everything we got.

CLOSING THOUGHTS, & COMMENTS​

To close out this amazing night we'd like to thank everyone for coming to the press conference, & here's another shot of the two cars we will be running throughout the season:

In today's news:

Jerez Test Appearance Notice
-Team Hot Wheels will not be able to compete in the first Jerez test as our car is still under development. We will hopefully get the car finished before day 2. The cause of such delays arise from unseen and mind-boggling technical issues that resulted in the development getting little done in too much time. Unfortunately, we could also not create a test car as we had no time. Additionally, we want to be sure our trailer is 100% up to the task. Last season our chassis fell out during transport and suffered damage. Not significant, but it did.

Hopefully Team Manager @Gerarghini will be able to present and announce our aspiration for Season 2 come within the next two days.
 
In other news:
Team Axtel-Honda will be taking part of the first day of testing, as @AJHG1000 , the team's manager said: "Obviously the car is complete and ready to go, but it is still under development, so we are using all 3 days of testing to get the information we need to complete the car's development as much as we can. I really hope this can give us and advantage over the teams who are not testing today".

So far, Swift Autosport and Axtel-Honda have confirmed to be there, but there are more than two open garages, so they might not be the only teams rolling today.
 
Red Bull Racerworkz shows up to test barely

After a hastly delivery to the track, the championship runner-up has made it to Jerez. The team, which is revealed to be using the Ferrari engine this season, hasn't done much testing apart from installation laps so the team hopes to get a lot more done in the Jerez tests this week.
