[WIP] March 2008/2009

Post by MaxX »

After Super Aguri leaving the F1 field, there will be one additional Slot for a team left in 2009 and I was thinking about which team I should take. I have had many other disapperead teams make their comeback beside my evergreen Simtek. Before the Simtek team came my favorite underdog was the March team so it just had been time that this team will come in the next season.

Initially this car was not planned for a release, but I am very happy with the current outcome and so I still want to release it.

I took DJS` 2007 Ferrari as base and added some decals from c@rtman`s 90 and James Buster`s 91er Leyton House March. I also tried the new BP logo, but it just doesn`t fit on the car and so I stayed at the "classic" look.

Once more I ask DJS for permission of usage his awesome work.

Does anybody have contact data of c@rtman and James Buster, so I can also ask them for permission?

Of course here is a first screenshot:

A first ingame shot:

seems like that I have to go for another light blue but that would kill the typical March colorsheme :-k Let`s see what I`ll do to fix that :)

I have this same problem with my light blue Caccere. It happens when the car is under shadows. I've used Tim's 2006 Renault as base to make the car, as the problem seems to be minimal with his "blue choices" (oh my bad english).

I really like the light blue, but I think I won't use it in the future...

Gp2 just has problems with certain colors like light blue, light green and yellow :-k

Your new Caccere looks pretty cool, a pity with the shadows :(

You have my permission. :mrgreen:

But if you just put my name in the Gp2form or in the "carset info", than you don't have to ask for every single car you make. :wink:
That goes everybody else as well.

It's a nice car, you'll just have to use a different "darker" blue to replace your initial darker(shadow) blue.
What Rremedio said is very good, Tim uses the best possible colours, so to use his "palette" is a very good thing to do.
