Gingerale Garage - Hundred replicas

[Gingerale]

Hi all!

In this topic I'll post all my liveries. I'm doing a big project (as some might know) by doing all SuperGT 2005 GT300 entries. I'll share them here and provide links, hopefully I can do a custom race soon for all entries to make some cool shots. I'll also do some other replicas and sometimes an entry for the Livery Competition here and then.

I support creativity so I'll try to upload most decals, if you want to request one or can't find a decal I used, please let me know and I'll share it or give you some directions to other users who uploaded the decal.

For now, all liveries are in a spoiler. Open the category and by clicking the livery you go directly to the download link. Have fun!

The first new addition! And I should have made this way earlier, this car is a blast and very nostalgic. It's the Project Bandoh Celica (from GT6 for example), this time on a 86 Gr. 4 which works quite nice.

Bonus shots:

Also updated the OP with the Endless Advan Z, the Signal Auto Civic and the Taeivon Trampio FTO which I entered for the first
LEC.

Enjoy! The download link for the Wedssport Celica:

Really nice presentation of liveries, I like 👍

 

[Gingerale]

Thanks man! I can share psd files if you want

 

[MidnightRun85]

Liking this. Great way to show off your liveries - nice work!

I scrolled for a long while looking for photos taken in–game.

I still haven't found them.

Omg thanks for the compliment haha!

Since I'm getting more and more used to using Illustrator (finally!) and being a bit more precise, I've redone the only 2 SuperGT liveries I've done in GTS and gave them a small update.

The OP is now updated with the Arktech Rodeo Drive Porsche. I used to really like this livery somehow but now I can't be bothered to use it anymore. I created this way back in Forza Motorsport 3 so probably seen it a bit too much..

But here it is for anyone crazy enough to collect all liveries.



I also uploaded all decals I've used so far, and remember all my designs are unlocked so you can edit all you want!


In the meantime I almost finished the very tedicious Cerumo Oil Celica, so hopefully I can upload it Friday... Just double checking all the colors and finishing some last details. Then it is off the the more complicated liveries.. Both Toyota MR-S GT300! Probably will be done on a Alfa 4C.

 

[Gingerale]

I took the Celica for a spin for some shots! You can download the livery by clicking the image.

I recently read some posts about artificial bodywork. That's why I never lock my designs, if you want to remove the bonnet decals just do it! Or change racing number, whatever.

I shared some decals as well! See you soon, I just started on the Toyota MR-S cars... Too bad we have yet again a superb design on a different car because it's not ingame...

 

[Gingerale]

Woa! The GT300 Series Winner joins the party. The Reckless MR-S was another step further into improving in replicas.



This took a while. For anyone wondering what kind of steps you're thinking of when creating a livery over 17 years old:

1: Look if the livery is already done in GT7 or else it's not worthy (unless you can do better but there are so many awesome creators here)
2: Find reference pics: this can take a while. The SuperGT website is useful but all really low res. Try a lot of search terms, try to look as hard as you can do. I once whipped up my VPN to get access to a Japanese auction site which sold Ebbro models with better pics. Take the extra mile
3: Find SVG's. By farrrrr the longest process. You will reach the depths of the internet sometimes. Use Google Lens to translate Japanese texts, use The Wayback Machine to visit long and gone websites of main sponsors or the actual teams, since most websites aren't even live anymore. Hit up wacky Japanese search terms. Search in GTS of course, but that's only when you're a lucky guy. Sometimes you end up emailing people for logo's. Or reach out on Twitter (I didn't even have Twitter before) for pics and logo's. This can take agesss
4: Create the svg's you don't have. For text, always first check WhatTheFont to find a matching font, which you then have to download somewhere without any copyrights. For pics/other stuff, its time to test your pen tool skills. Retrace, resize, redo, get rid of pen points...
5: By far the easiest step is actually creating the livery. This can be done in 1 or 2 hours depending on the difficulty.

Next up: Houzan!

 

[Gingerale]

Ah the Houzan livery is also ready. Looking not so bad on a 4C actually, the design was pretty basic but I was off for some days. The team livery changed completely after the second round in the 2005 season, with Houzan coming in as main sponsor instead of Apexera/APR. I might want to do that in the near future but for now I think this is the more 'valid' livery of the team since they used it most of the time.
For now, please like/share/download if you like the livery, or enjoy some bonus shots.

Also, I'm really doubting if I'm continuing. Main cars to do are the Aspara RX7 and MTEC NSX, which are already done in a brilliant way I don't want to interfere with. There are a lot of VEMACs out there which I have no clue what car to use for so... Might want to do something else in the near future (or some other interesting SuperGT liveries from different seasons.

Thanks for looking! Cheers!

That's a really cool livery for the 4C - works really well to match the proportions of the MR-S!

Yes it does.
But I only have some cars left, and I'd like to do the Vemac liveries (6 different teams!), but I have no clue which car to pick...

I was thinking the McLaren F1 for a while, but no way I can afford 1, let alone 6 lol. Curious which cars you'd pick

The front end is screaming out "4C" while the tail end bares a resemblance to the F1 GTR... so... it's a tough call. It's also based off a Honda engine, and the NSX GT500 '08 might be a suitable compromise?

 

[Gingerale]

True the 4C would be suitable.. The Pagani Zonda however is also very Vemac like. Or might even just do a McLaren 650S for fun.

Ill just create it on 3 vehicles and do a poll lol.

 

[Gingerale]

The Teramoto Technical Office wasn't really great in terms of the SuperGT season in points (never to be seen in front and scored 0 points), the livery kinda grew on me when making it. The color combo really works and the small chrome details spice things up. It wasn't a really popular car based on the amount of pictures I couldn't find, but with some muscle memory this replica is 99% accurate. Enjoy!

Last one for the weekend:

This Exige joined the SuperGT for 1 race in Sepang. It was driven by Malaysian Formula D driver and CEO of Lotus Malaysia and CEO of Proton.. Tenku Djan Ley. It was a really great car and was set to win some points, however, turned out racing is more exhausting than drifting and the team had to make a long pit stop which resulted in a lot of loss.. I thought it was a funny story and this simple livery therefore also belongs in the SuperGT Season.

Speaking of belonging.. . We made a group pic! Thanks to @krisduv and @SeaNorris for the idea!

Nice collection! Great way of presenting your liveries, really like it, but why didn't you use the same number font?

 

[Gingerale]

I couldn't find the exact font and wasn't bothered to paste in svgs all the time...

 

[Gingerale]

So the SuperGT liveries made me kinda burned out making them (I won't do the Vemac's and maybe only do the M-TEC NSX), so it was a nice timing for joining the new Touringcar LEC.

First I made the Paulaner Vectra from the SWT 1998 on the Alfa 155:


It's based on this livery

You can download it by clicking the picture or in my signature.

The competition also encouraged me to do some other stuff..
I also found this old JTCC livery:

And thought hmm this is an interesting color combo for a revival livery. I tried to do a modernized version on the Atenza, and also gave it a grunge update which @MidnightRun85 also does to some of his liveries and I think that really looks awesome. If you want to download it, just click the image.

Nice one! I like it!

My intention in GT7 was to do way more original/fantasy liveries but I'm failing miserably. Luckily there is the GTP Livery Competition which had a new original competition to create a livery based upon a new sponsor which haven't done main sponsors on racecars.
Although I'm not much of a cryptotrader myself (I started hating it more and more), the idea of a Binance Porsche quickly came up and this is the result.

Cya for LEC 07

 

[Gingerale]

My Illustrator skills have completely vanished... This was a simple livery but I was working waaay too long on the side decal. Need to improve.
But here's the first 2006 livery. Im planning to update some 2005 versions to 2006, which aren't worthy of a separate posts, but this is a new design I guess.

 

[Gingerale]

Yes it does.
But I only have some cars left, and I'd like to do the Vemac liveries (6 different teams!), but I have no clue which car to pick...

Welp, the 2005 started itching again and I finally found a car. Since GT7 is too much about the pesky credits, I also sometimes have to grind my way to a full SuperGT grid, and my favourite race is Sardegna and lately I've been doing it in the 787b. Since there weren't a whole lot of liveries available for it to my liking, I just decided to make one myself.

Especially the Verno Tokai livery was gorgeous so I'm glad I was able to have it in my grid. However, due to a bug in custom races the car automatically switches to Racing Hards so it will be way to fast for the other Gr. 3 cars but whatever. Hope people like these!

Also one thing I realized, I created the Jim Gainer Ferrari's on a Gr 4 Ferrari lol. I will soon update them to the Gr.3 version, but I don't think a lot of people use the current Gr. 4 liveries I will delete them from my page soon.

Will that delete them from people's cars? Happens with deleted decals, would suck if it also happens to whole liveries.

I use these Gr4 liveries and would be very sad to see them go.

 

[Gingerale]

Yeah I think so but they weren't popular anyway...

It sucks we can't see a download counter or something. I'll keep them online!

 

[svenhjs666]

Don't bother about the likes you receive in GT i would advice.
I hardly get likes myself,although my work is decent (not to brag about myself)
Even the very popular GTSports designers/scape takers having some kind of trouble to match their stats of GTSports.

I agree there should be a download counter.
At least for the liveries.
You'll get a better idea of the popularity of your work that way.

 

[996rick]

Silly question, but what car is the AUTOBACS RACING AGURI?

 

[Gingerale]

Zonda Pagani! I hope the Garaiya will be a DLC someday!
