Working on Fictional CART Racing Series (Stock Car this time) revival.

[blacknova84]

Actually I don't have those files. The ones I have are off here. The official ones and the custom ones so I can see the wings. Neither of them the driver view works. It either shows all pink or it grabs a random part of the tga/bmp file.

My tributes to both Jimmy Broadbent, and GPLaps. That's right. Richie Axelson Jr. has a raceteam in my version of cart and he also drivers in the World Series but owns these cars lol. I wanted something that looked like Alex Zanardi and Jimmy Vassers CART cars. 2 of my favorite drivers of all time.

Driver Rails I finished so far

 

[blacknova84]

First Helmet preview. Elijah Miller, driver of the #22 Redbull-Mobil 1 Ford Mustang GTD in the CART Michelin NA Series.

 

[blacknova84]

The CMS Driver suit for 2024/My Helmet. Thank you once again to LastLap for sending me the driver X files so I can do this. I appreciate the help you have all given me on this. I truly do.

Too bad I can't somehow turn off exhaust effects in game.

As we talked about: http://stunodracing.net/index.php?threads/white-backfire.2776/#post-165903

One of the few I still wanted to preview like this. But you needed this view to get the detail. Yes that's the Skyline of her hometown of Toronto, Ontario, Canada in the top maple leaf. Some of these helmets are turning really nice. I got good enough references for Jenson Buttons helmet I was able to recreate his actual helmet from a around 2010 lol.

Updated progress on the Porsche 911 GT3 RS template. Its getting there. I still need to tweek the door lines, add shading to the front tire air intake and do the shading to the air intake on the side. Other than this template needing finished the entire 2024 Michelin NA Series carset is finished complete with pitcrews. I just need to import them but there are a few porsches that need template first.

I am also planning on making templates for the following cars to round out the full CART manufacturer lineup:
Ferrari 296 GT3
McLaren 720S GT3 Evo

so the full CART eligible list of rides will be:

Aston Martin Vantage GT3
Audi R8 LMS
BMW M4 GT3
Cadillac ATS-V.R GT3
Chevy Corvette Z06 GTR.3
Ferrari 296 GT3
Ford Mustang GTD
Lamborghini Huracan GT3 Evo2
Lexus RCF
McLaren 720s GT3 Evo
Mercedes AMG GT
Nissan GTR
Porsche 911 GT3 RS
I have finished templates for the Aston martin, Corvette, Lambo, Mustang. Some of which have been released. I will be re-releasing these with the number plates and the series decals on them too when the cars go live.

Where this project stands now and what needs done:

Michelin North American Series:
911 template finished
Schedule finalized
Race logos made.

Redbull World Series:
911 template finished
McLaren template made
Ferrari Template made
Driver Name Rails finished
Schedule Finalized
Race logos changed/renamed (too many Grand Prixs presented by imo)

Other:
Are there any soundpacks out there that sound like GT cars for nr2003? Someone posted on reddit a link to over 90 soundpacks but the link is dead so I wouldn't be shocked if it exists.

I still need to do everything for the E-Car Series and the CART Race of Champions series as well. ROC is the top 3 from each of the 3 divisions in points that compete alal IROC in the same car.

Real question now for fellow template makers. I'm working on the Ferrari now (911 GT3 is done!!!!) I have the rear end done, and the front grill. These headlights are being a real pain my arse lol. Headon they look like the image on the left. From the side they wrap around like typical Ferrari headlights. How do I do these properly on this template. I am seriously close to having this done and its holding me. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

 

[Lastlap]

I would create a hybrid headlight image of using both parts.

Have the front part with an added side piece to make a wider headlight, so it would wrap around.

 

[blacknova84]

Working on possible new CART logos. I'm trying to find a way to combine the logo I did, the original CART logo font, and the second logo they used which was probably the most recognizable out of the real logos.

 

[blacknova84]

The two real logos I am trying to incorporate within my new design.

 

[Lastlap]

I like the 25b version. A continuity of font/theme throughout.

 

[blacknova84]

last update until we go live!!!! I finished the whole schedule for the 2024 CART Michelin North American Series, the entire carset, I am doing race logos now. I finalized the schedule of the Redbull World Series and complete finished everything for it including race logos.
All that is left are the driver name rails for the Redbull World Series, and the race logos for the NA Series and we are good to go!!! Here is a preview of for the North American series. The Miami Grand Prix.
