Thanks mate, I really appreciate it!

There will be a lot more coming, especially now that I’ve made a good 488 template for myself. Looking to do the AF Corse WEC liveries in the near future.

Back in the day I made tons of liveries playing Assetto Corsa and even got special requests from virtual racing teams. I also created a generic livery series for a competition organised by RaceDepartment. I had so much fun with it and sometimes it earned me a few dollars. With the kids growing up and family life taking over, also the breakdown of my pc, it came to an end but now I relive a bit of that after +10yrs with GT7 and this forum.

It's really cool and lovely to see all these nice creations for various cars and some really stand out. Like yours. You're doing a great job. Which editor do you use? I used GIMP 2.8 back then, an open source photo and design program. It took me a year to get myself educated and it was perfect for the templates of Assetto Corsa.

Keep it up!

Today I went karting with my 14yr old son. I am a veteran at 44yr of age but the experience is as much worth as skills. My son has been racing karts - amateur level - since he was 10yrs old. Today we encountered 3 semi-pro young guns with their go pro cameras mounted and we had a blast. Just 17 thousands behind the leader I came in second and my son 3rd before the other 2. Our advantage was that we know the track and the 3 young guns ran there for the first time. Still it was a very satisfying stint. Afterwards we chatted about the race and racing karts, my son got congratulations with his skills and I was content I still got it. The winning semi-pro will also feature my son on his TikTok video to show how my son defended his position very successfully.

At home I started up GRAN TURISMO and created a new livery for the N-One. I raced the event and also a one on one with another personal painted N-One at Tsukuba circuit.

Then I raced the WTC 900 event at Spa for 3 times before winning it. I had a great time today. 🥇😊👌

Nice, that sounds really cool! I just use the standard geometric shapes from the game's livery editor and decals made by other players from the showcase.

The in-game editor is actually a really good tool. Sometimes I do find that some models aren't 100% symmetrical, it happens I need to fill up a gap of a half square inch when mirroring a painted object.

Today I will be afk grinding the Daytona oval cheat credit with the N-One (no wide body kit so it never hits the other cars) and will be cashing 750.000cr, every hour of the day... There's a street sale in front of my house and this is perfect to combine with an endurance money grind.

Yes, just like you I've noticed that as well while mirroring decals. The car models are incredily well made in the game but some parts are still slightly off. I noticed that especially with manufacturer logos (e.g. the Mercedes Star or Porsche logo) which are often not exactly at the center of the hood but very slightly offset.

To stay on topic: I'm currently working on two IMSA replica liveries for the BMW M6 GT3.

I recently went back through my profile and checked my monthly distances. They had been dropping quickly since January and reached next zero in May.
June, 24h Le Mans month, I covered 1,000km in numerous races as it is my favourite sporting event. It returned back to almost nothing in July and August as the new content does very little for me.

This is how I see it staying now unless we receive a race car that really catches my eye.

I still put GT7 on pretty much each day but put on a replay in the background when I am pottering away at home.

WTC 900 : the 787B with turbo is a beast.

WTC 600 : almost stock Ferrari GTO of 1984 took me to the victory. Wonderful road behaviour with a sports suspension, sports exhaust and medium sports tyres. No refuel, no tyre change needed. Switched between fuel map 3 to 6 depending on straight or swerve section.

Tsukuba Clubman Cup 550pp 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ S2000 stock with sports soft tyres.
This race I had to use some elbow work to capture the win, I just couldn't get to that 4C closer than 2sec in the last of just 5 laps.

I was really trying to do any grind races so I wanted to drive something had driven before, so I chose the 72 A110. I painted a stock one a Nissan Orange and drove for a few laps around Laguna Seca. Fun car I had be careful because it felt tail happy to me. Next I got another A110 and did the swap got to around 700pp and went to Laguna Seca. Much faster and actually more stable since got a wing to add some down force.
