My laptop is a toaster and cannot run NR2003. If I really do have to supply my own template for 2017, I'll be out to lunch...

I can account for my team. You'll be okay.

Send me a pm each, we can discuss when I get home.

@Angel I have one of tbw's cars, but he's doing the other. Do you still want both sent at one time or can I send the one I've got now?

Send what you have.

It's been quite difficult even get a livery started because of school and people in general just not wanting to leave me alone :grumpy: . May or may not need a bit of assistance with this one.

The ones in bold are being handled by me, three of which should be in later tonight (along with the 96 since not much work needs to be done on it).

Well, I need something to justify staying up at very unhealthy times :lol:
 
I tried to get it finished before baby was here and failed massively. Think I needed the "break" (FRIGGING LOL - I haven't worked harder in my life!) away from Photoshop for last 2 weeks to really get down and nail the livery. I finished that in last couple of days and the suit, and I'm just coming up with the helmet design to go with it now.
 
As teams begin finalizing sponsorship details and funding for the upcoming VRR Straight Talk IndyCar Series season, Cat Devil Racing's team owner Kunimitsu Kino****a wants to see VRR's financial report for 2016 as well as their current predicted income for 2017. "I personally believe teams are being short-changed by the Winner's Circle compared to what VRR has available." Kino****a stated while on a media tour of Japan. "Everyone I have talked to has kind of said the same thing, which is that VRR is making at least ¥12,402,900,000 (120 million USD) a year, yet this "Winner's Circle" is passing out breadcrumbs to the dominant teams in the series. While VRR and the tracks are making money hand over fist, we're stuck subsisting. I'd like to know exactly how much VRR is earning in profit and once we know the figure, propose a change to that Winner's Circle system, because it feels like we're all just losing."
 
Update: I think its safe to say "The Blue Crew" might be an appropriate nickname for Team Porter :lol:

Well it initially was as I had to get creative considering for instance, Google was hard to think up anything for (Not a fan of doing another plain white car to be honest) and Gold is a no go with the Rolex car (Because Nr2003 doesn't recognize Metallic). Obviously its not now but at one point in time, it nearly was.

I will say this though: You heard of the "Battle of the Beer wagons", get ready for the battle of the..errm, airlines I guess :lol:

It still has to go through a few edits. If anything, I can send yours and @Niku Driver HC cars to someone for edit

If that's not much of a problem for you, it would be appreciated. Hell, it's the 1st night at home during a week since February for me.
