Haha love this, the "2nd Lotus a.k.a owned by Proton" agreed to partnership with Renault (New name Lotus Renault GP) so there will be 2 different Lotus teams. And the Proton stole apparently the golden/black livery concept from the Lotus owned by Tony Fernandez.

Quote from TottiGTD :

Hi!!!
this is my first skin of fzr. please vote it.
thx

You are the 3rd who did a skin with this livery, but they are all slightly different.

However, few logos are a bit low resolution, but overall it's a pretty good job

i wouldn't mind a screenshot either. That livery and car shape should fit the FXR like a glove.

After one of the most epic years of F1 we're ready to enjoy yet another one in 2011.

The 2011 Formula One season will be the 62nd FIA Formula One season. The calendar will expand to twenty rounds – the longest season in the sport's sixty-year history – with the inaugural running of the Indian Grand Prix. Pirelli returns to the sport as tyre supplier for all teams, taking over from Bridgestone. Red Bull Racing enter 2011 as the reigning Constuctor's Champions. Sebastian Vettel will be the defending Driver's Champion.


Pre-season


The pre-season testing season began immediately after the 2010 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix with a three-day 'Young Driver Test' (for drivers with fewer than three Formula One race starts to their name) at the Yas Marina Circuit. Formula Renault 3.5 runner-up Daniel Ricciardo consistently set the fastest times over the three days, driving for new champions Red Bull Racing.

The Young Driver Tests were followed by another testing session – also held at Yas Marina – for the teams to test the tyres developed by new tyre supplier Pirelli. Ferrari's Fernando Alonso was the fastest during the tests, with many drivers declaring their satisfaction with the new tyres, particularly given Pirelli's short development window. Sebastian Vettel experienced an explosive puncture on the final day, though an investigation by Pirelli attributed the incident to debris on the circuit.


Teams and drivers


After a dispute between the Formula One Teams Association (FOTA) and the FIA in the first half of 2009, a new Concorde Agreement was signed on 1 August 2009 by the then FIA president Max Mosley and all of the existing teams at the time. The new agreement provides for a continuation of the terms of the 1998 agreement, and runs until 31 December 2012.

New entries process


Following USF1's inability to make the grid in 2010, the FIA opened a new selection process to find more teams to fill the grid for the 2011 season. As well as filling the 13th grid slot they are also looking for one or more possible 'reserve' entrants. They were seeking formal expressions of interest from prospective teams before 15 April 2010 with full applications needing to be submitted by June 21. The Italian media had reported that the FIA has received as many as fifteen entry bids, including World Series by Renault and former Le Mans team Epsilon Euskadi; the Belgrade-based Stefan Grand Prix, who attempted to join the grid after their eleventh-hour submission in February 2010 was rejected; highly-successful French GP2, GP3 and European Formula 3 team ART Grand Prix; Cypher, an American team made up of the remains of USF1; and Durango, an Italian GP2 team that had been forced out of the GP2 Series owing to financial difficulties, but later experienced revitalisation after 1995 Indianapolis 500 and 1997 World Champion winner Jacques Villeneuve joined with the team, which subsequently became known as "Villeneuve F1". However, ART Grand Prix and Cypher would later withdraw their entries, citing a lack of financial security, sponsor interest and insufficient budgets as their reasons for the back-out. As the number of entrants thinned out and with the anticipated announcement of the thirteenth team passing without incident, it was announced ahead of the 2010 Italian Grand Prix that the FIA felt that none of the prospective entrants met the minimum funding or engineering requirements that a team would need in order to succeed in the sport, and executed their right to leave the thirteenth grid slot vacant.

Following the confirmation that there would be no new additions to the grid for 2011, Joan Villadelprat of Epsilon Euskadi and Jacques Villeneuve of the combined Villeneuve-Durango teams both announced that they would still attempt to join the grid for 2011, exploring the possibilities of taking over an existing team. Villeneuve later admitted to exploring possibilities outside of Formula One, including extending his NASCAR Nationwide Cup campaign, or moving to Australia to pursue possibilities in the V8 Supercar Series.


Team changes

• BMW Sauber announced in July 2010 that it will reinstate the name Sauber following a season without the manufacturer. The naming arose due to complex issues involving TV rights money that would not have been paid had the team changed their name during the winter period following the departure of BMW.
  

• Lotus Racing announced at the 2010 Italian Grand Prix that they had terminated their three-year contract with engine supplier Cosworth. It was also revealed that team principal Tony Fernandes had purchased the rights to the Team Lotus name from David Hunt, with the intention of renaming the team to reflect its historical counterpart for the 2011 season. Lotus Cars launched legal action against Lotus Racing, claiming that Tony Fernandes did not have the rights to use the Lotus name because David Hunt was never in a position to sell them. On October 5, 2010, Lotus Racing announced an agreement to use Red Bull Technology gearboxes and hydraulics systems from 2011, this follows the frequent unreliability of the Xtrac systems used by Lotus during their maiden season. At the 2010 Brazilian Grand Prix it was announced that Lotus will use Renault engines from 2011. The team have also confirmed that they will use the famous black and gold livery for 2011.
  

• Following weeks of speculation about their existence beyond the 2010 season, Hispania announced several major partnerships in November 2010. Chief among these was an arrangement that will see Williams supply the Murcia-based team with transmission systems for the 2011 season, whilst forming a partnership with Spanish businessman Juan Villalonga, who was previously affiliated with Minardi as CEO of Telefónica.
  

• After sponsoring the team for the 2010 season, Russian sports car manufacturer Marussia acquired what they termed a "significant stake" of Virgin Racing, with the team changing its name to Marussia Virgin Racing. Further reports confirmed that Marussia had purchased a controlling stake in the team, securing their future until 2014. Wirth Research, the design studio that developed the Virgin VR-01 is also set to expand its capacity for computational fluid dynamics with the construction of what Wirth Research claim will be the third-fastest supercomputer in the world.
  

Driver changes

Changed teams

• On the eve of the 2010 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Nico Hülkenberg's manager, Willi Weber, confirmed that the rookie would be leaving Williams at the end of the 2010 season. Weber claimed Hülkenberg would remain on the grid for 2011, though he did not comment on which team he would be driving for.
  

Entered Formula One

• Sergio Pérez, who finished runner-up in the 2010 GP2 Series driving for Barwa Addax, was signed by Sauber to partner Kamui Kobayashi. His signing coincided with the announcement of a partnership between Carlos Slim's telecommunications group Telmex and the Sauber team. Pérez will become the first Mexican Formula One driver in thirty years after Héctor Rebaque finished tenth in the 1981 season while driving for Brabham.
  

• 2010 GP2 Series champion Pastor Maldonado was signed by Williams after testing for the team in the young driver tests in Abu Dhabi.[23] Maldonado will become the first Venezuelan Formula One driver since Johnny Cecotto drove for Toleman during the 1984 season. Maldonado is backed by the Venezuelan state-controlled oil company PDVSA.

2011 calendar

On 16 April 2010, Bernie Ecclestone confirmed that there would be 20 races in 2011; all the races from the 2010 season and the addition of the Indian Grand Prix. A provisional calendar was announced on 8 September 2010, which was confirmed on 3 November 2010.

Changes

• The 2011 season will see the addition of the Indian Grand Prix to the F1 schedule.
  

• The Malaysian Grand Prix will change its name to the Malaysia Grand Prix as part of the efforts to promote the country.
  

• The Bahrain International Circuit will revert to its original configuration after experimenting with the six-kilometre "endurance" layout in 2010, which organisers claim was originally done to celebrate Formula One's diamond jubilee, though the layout was received negatively at the time.
  

Rule changes

• 2011 will see the return of the 107% rule in qualifying. Under this arrangement, any driver who fails to set a time within 107% of the fastest lap in Q1 (the rule won't apply in Q2 and Q3) will not be permitted to take part in the race; for instance, if the fastest lap is 1 minute 40 seconds, a driver must set a time faster than 1 minute 47 seconds in order to make it to the grid. * Following the controversial 2010 German Grand Prix, the FIA has moved to increase the maximum allowable penalty ($100,000 to $250,000) that racing stewards can issue to teams after penalising Ferrari one hundred thousand dollars for the use of team orders. Former World Champion Jackie Stewart commented that "$100,000 is no penalty for a team whose budget is many, many multiples higher."
  

Tyre supplier changes

• Tyre supplier Bridgestone announced that it would not renew its contract with Formula One at the end of the 2010 season. After several months of deliberation, Pirelli was chosen as the tyre supplier for 2011 at the FIA World Motor Sport Council meeting in Geneva, in June 2010.
  

• At the 2010 British Grand Prix, Bernie Ecclestone revealed that he had been in talks with five manufacturers, but Pirelli was the only company that could be ready in time for the 2011 season. Although the Pirelli deal was more expensive for the teams than some of the other bids, the company would pay for on-track advertising meaning the teams would get some return on their investment. Ecclestone also revealed that he wanted tyres with a significantly shorter lifespan than in 2010 following the reception to the 2010 Canadian Grand Prix, where abnormally high tyre wear created unpredictable racing.
  

• The twelve teams have moved to establish "a close alliance" with Pirelli in order to prevent one team from gaining an unfair advantage through intimate knowledge of the new tyres – similar to the Ferrari-Bridgestone and Renault-Michelin relationships during the Formula One "tyre war" – following repeated suggestions that test drivers Nick Heidfeld, Pedro de la Rosa and Romain Grosjean will be in demand because of their knowledge of the final versions of the tyres.
  

Technical changes

• The maximum height of the diffuser will be cut from 175 millimetres (6.9 in) to 125 millimetres (4.9 in), reducing aerodynamic downforce. Furthermore, measures were agreed to exclude double diffuser designs.
  

• In the week leading up to the 2010 Spanish Grand Prix, a formal proposal was submitted to FOTA by British engineering firm Flybrid to supply the entire grid with a mandatory, standardized KERS unit, following campaigns led by Ferrari and Renault to see the technology re-introduced for the 2011 season. After the 2010 Canadian Grand Prix, Ferrari confirmed they would be running the KERS device on their 2011 car, but the system will not be mandatory.
  

• In order to compensate for the increase in weight brought about by KERS, the minimum weight of the car will increase from 620 kilograms (1,367 lb) to 640 kilograms (1,411 lb).
  

• FOTA have agreed to ban the controversial "F-duct" system developed by McLaren for the MP4-25 and later deployed by other teams through the 2010 season.
  

• At the meeting of the FIA World Motor Sport Council in Geneva in June 2010, an adjustable rear wing system was confirmed as an addition to the 2011 rules. It will be introduced to aid overtaking, serving as a substitute for the F-duct system. In a similar system to the KERS regulator used in 2009, the adjustable rear wing would only be available under certain conditions; namely, drivers will only be able to use it when they are within one second of the car in front, but it would not be usable within the first two laps of a race except in the case of an early safety car. The system is expected to offer drivers an additional 15 km/h (9.3 mph) when passing, and will deactivate when the driver first touches the brakes after using the rear wing. The concept, which has been negatively received by drivers and fans alike, could be dropped if it proves impractical or unmanageable.
  

• For the first time, cars will have a mandatory weight distribution, reported to be a ratio of 46:54. This is intended to prevent teams from having to make expensive changes to the internal configuration of their cars in the event of changes to tyre compounds introduced by new tyre supplier Pirelli.
  

• The number of wheel tethers – the load-bearing cables connecting tyres to the bodywork – will be doubled for 2011, in response to an increasing number of accidents where wheels have been torn free of their mountings, including the death of Henry Surtees in a Formula Two race at Brands Hatch in 2009.
  

Sponsorship changes

• On October 4, 2010, Sauber announced a partnership with Mexican telecommunications group Telmex that would include significant branding on their car for the 2011 season. The announcement coincided with the signing of GP2 driver Sergio Pérez, who is a part of Telmex's driver development program. * Dutch electronics corporation Philips, announced that they would not renew their contract with Williams at the 2010 Brazilian Grand Prix, ending a five-year relationship with the Grove-based team. The Royal Bank of Scotland will also end their association to the team.
  

Other changes

• The FIA has suggested that any driver who is caught committing road offences – such as Lewis Hamilton's "hooning" incident in Melbourne – could be punished with a loss of their Super Licence, thereby preventing them from racing.
  

• Team members deemed to be in key roles – i.e. team principal, sporting director, race engineers, team manager and technical director – will have to undergo accreditation for a "competitors' staff licence" in order to maintain their positions within their teams. This is seen as a reaction to the actions of disgraced former Renault team principal Flavio Briatore at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix and applies to all key staff in all FIA-sanctioned World Championships, including the World Rally Championship, World Touring Car Championship and GT1 World Championship in addition to Formula One.

Lotus going back to a black and gold livery! About time too

And Virgin sold a stake in their team. 2011 could be interesting......

Apparently Lotus are running black and gold livery next year: http://www.facebook.com/lotusracing

At the beginning of the season Sauber didn't really have any sponsors which made the car quite simple and uninteresting so I'm attempting to replicate something more like teh livery they used in Suzuka, on Kobayashis home soil. http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp- ... /koba_saub_suzu_20101.jpg

Its not too bad, but its not high quality skin. Good effort though.


Jazzon made exactly same livery like you some time ago (for XFG and VWS aswell)

http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1384433#post1384433

im pretty sure almost everyone on the forum made some form of that livery at some point

good job though

I am the oposite opinion of eliteati.

I think for a racing livery it's pretty nice and often a simple one hits the spot

1 critism tho, the goodyear is too big and rotated(?). Fitted with a bit of space it should flow in just right.

But... where is the DL-link?

For the record Flame CZE has made a version of the 2007 WTCC Chevrolet livery a few years ago: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=692275#post692275. It's quite similar to the Silverline livery, so maybe it could be used as a base, if Flame CZE's okay with that of course.

Hey, here to ask if anybody would be kind enough to make a livery for the 2010 BTCC Chev Cruze for the FXR.



More images at http://www.chevroletbtcc.co.uk/motorsport/

If a skin has already been made, feel free to post the link.
Thanks.

Had to try some sideways action with the MX5's as soon as the servers came back up. Was too anxious to try them out that I didn't even bother applying my racing livery on them. Bring on the Tsukuba!

hehe, yeah, I'm not 100% sure it has not been done.

Schuppor made a nice one (attached), although personally, i think your blue for example is more spot on, but then I'm a sucker for vibrant colors, which might not always be spot on. Schuppor's version looks abit purple-ish to me. (Besides it a actually a different livery )
In the end it all depends on the reflection texture, i guess. The default changes the color tone quite alot.
Your preview looks great (orange looks spot there to me). The black line on the front tho, isn't quite true to the Gulf livery, but adds more contrast... so it will be your interpretation.

One thing i just noticed, the letters of the michelin writing is usually vertical, but looks kursiv on your skin. This is something i would fix, but it actually looks good too. Just my opinion.

However you gonna do it, in the end it's gonna be a nice release.

Keep it up!

Nice skin, Eclipsed!


On September 5th 1970 Jochen Rindt died on track in Monza. As my personal tribute to this extraordinary driver and person I brought the livery of the Lotus 72 to the FO8.

Quote from BreadC :

those 2 colors dont really go together...

and it HAS to look good not jus looking crappy

Well the 46 yellow doesn't exactly 'go' with the Repsol livery either and they put it on the Honda, so what's the big deal over a colour?

Quote from el pibe :

did you try to do that carbon fiber texture by yourself or is it a storefront livery?

looks like crap tbh....


heres a tutorial on how to do the CF texture.

storefront livery

did my money pay for them cars luke?

IGTC Round 5: Race Review

LFS' most prestigious single class endurance league, the International GT Championship, saw the 5th round of its 2010 season, held at Kyoto GP Long Reversed, for a 4 hours race. An important decision was made on the IGTC squad before the race: it would be renamed to Tiger Express Motorsports & Friends, to allow Team Inferno's Radek Müller to drive in some of the 3 remaining rounds, in order to void IGTC's strict regulations on ringers.



2 : 13 : 53! It is the pole position of the day, set by Michal Saidl! The Czech driver would give Tiger Express' first IGTC pole of its history, after bringing the team in 2nd and 3rd row at Aston and Westhill. Mike would set that time on his very first attempt. It would never get beaten even if the session would be extremely close: the top 4 was in 1 tenths of a second, which is absolutely nothing for this 7.4 kilometers track! Tiger Express' friend Simon Cattell would get in 2nd for meh Racing, in front of the two Portuguese drivers Pedro Santos and Luis Barbosa driving for CoRe Racing and SpeedCore.

Mike would secure his lead at the start, and would stay in the lead for the whole first hour, even if a Safety Car period annihilated his lead at the 40 minutes mark. Sadly another Safety Car period, very close to the first hour mark, would see a turning point in his race. Indeed, almost every single team decided to stop, but TEM&F wasn't ready for it, and had to wait another lap before pulling into the pitlane. The car would rejoin the track in 10th position, with Radek Müller at the wheel. Sadly Radek would get involved in an incident a few laps after the restart, and would have to pit for damage.

Another Safety Car period, this time at the 1 hour and 50 minutes mark, would allow Tiger Express to get back in the field. An ambitious decision would be taken at that point: Radek would pull into the pits and let Mike at the wheel, while most of the other cars would stay in the track. Despite having an off in the gravel at the restart, Mike would quickly make his way through the field, helped by the pit-stops. He would close on the lead car of Conquest Racing before the 3 Hours mark, and would eventually pass it before the final pitstops.

The last hour of the race is deem to become as a classic finish in the IGTC history, for its intensity and its thrilling pattern. It would see Tiger Express and Conquest battling hard in the lead, struggling for tyres(and even for fuel for TEM), following their decision to make an earlier 2nd pitstop under SC, with Conquest Racing #2 and My3id Racing closing quickly on them. If Conquest #2 was on a conventional strategy, My3id, with the IGTC legend David WIlliams at the wheel, had to make their final stop with 20 minutes to go. Everyone thought that My3id would be totally out of contention because of this, but no: Williams would show an amazing pace and would pass all 3 cars before his pitstop. Meanwhile, Radek Müller back at the wheel in the #33 TEM&F car would have to let Conquest #1 by, as he couldn't match their pace.

The thrill of the last 20 minutes could be summed-up in two questions: Would Conquest #1's and Tiger Express' tyres last? Would Williams get back on the leading train again? Eventually the two leaders would keep their positions without getting any trouble with the tyres. Williams could have been a serious threat for them though, as he was pushing like mad in the last few laps but couldn't get back on the 3 leaders. Finally the top 4 would finish in only 6 seconds, with Conquest getting their first IGTC win, just in front of Tiger Express, getting their first IGTC podium! Conquest #2 and My3id gets just behind.

Tiger Express Motorsports & Friends has gained 11 positions at the standings thanks to this podium, and is now in 12th position. With 2 rounds to go and 150 points to gain, everything remains possible, although TEM&F will only aim for a top 10 overall position.

Short mention to White Tiger Express Motorsports also: it'd be at Kyoto GP Long the 4th secondary team to get in this season after Conquest Racing #2, E-Team #2 and TDRT 2. Yann Laprevotte and Lims Chebbi would have a very satisfacting race, sticking on Mike's and Radek's strategy while doing their 2nd pitstop. They would even get in 6th position on track after most leaders went to the pits during the 3rd hour. Finally they would finish in 14th place after a troubleless race, which is quite decent considering that this was their first round of the season and that the track wasn't really suitable to the FXR.


New Dimension Racing 2010 Summer Event: 2 Hours of South City Long Reversed

New Dimsension Racing has had its bi-annual 2 hours "half-fun race"(to quote CoRe's Sascha Riegler) earlier this week. Like the 2009 Christmas Event, it'd be a multi-class race, with TBO and GT2 running together. Tiger Express would have 3 GT2 cars, for Domi, Mike(FZR for both) and Lims(FXR), while Yann would stick on the TBO class with his FXO wearing the historical livery he had for the 2009 TBO Challenge. The event would see so much enthousiasm that the organisers would decide to have 2 servers instead of 1.



The race wasn't that much succesful for TEM in the GT2 class. Mike would set a very good 2nd time in qualyfing, just behind Karolis Kliaudaitis, but would have to retire around the 30 minutes mark. Meanwhile Domi and Lims would get more experience for the next GTAL season, finishing in 7th and 10th position.

Yann would have a very successful race on the other hand. He would get the 4th time in qualifying. Yann would loose several track positions at the start as he would get passed by his LFSCART rival Zdenek Cagaz, Sim Racing Society's Eduardo de Souza and his fellow forum whore Patrik Seidler in his RB4. After passing them in a few laps, Yann would start chasing Joni Törmälä on the server lead, and in 2nd position overall. As he couldn't gain ground in the first hour, Yann decided to take the risk to not change tyres during the race to get in front, but this strategy failed as the Frenchman would get a puncture at 20 minutes to go. He would have another chance to get back on the Starlite XRT as Törmälä would get some bad suspension damage a few laps before the chequered flag, but the Finnish youngster would keep it going, to finish only 5 seconds in front of Yann after 2 hours of racing. Yann would still get a well earned podium overall, after being helped a lot by the winners of the day, Genuine Racing FXO, who sent him precious datas before the race.

The giant "XR" badge looks cheap.

The clearance for instance around the doors are too big and dark (I would make them thinner and with less alpha channel value) other clearances you are missing, namely the one above the front bumber.

The carbon and/or black painted parts do not look reasonable. They would be painted over with the racing livery anyways. (An exception would possibly be the aerodynamics.

The air outlet behind the front wheel arches will look fake from most every perspective because there is not supposed to be one.

The plate painted around the exhaust does not match. It should look like the rest of the plate.

The fuel intake and most of the skrews are stretched.

The skrews at the back of the side and the wheel arches do not make sense to me.

It's simply really and you don't need to check the topic, but GavD999 made a nice example, that shows the basic problem for LFS skins.

The value for the FX is 65(%) for the sides. That means you rotate your Side-logo (cusco/tomei) and squeeze/push it together to 65% of its width.
Only problem is, the first time you do this, for this livery in example, you need to use a bit less degree than the paint it's supposed to fit it, cos due to the squeezing, the angle changes. Once you got the value, you have it for the other side of the car too.

The way it is now, each side logo is expanded (I already hate the word stretching xD), which results in a extremely kursiv side-logo on one side, and the other the letters are almost vertical (unlike the original logo)
Your hood logo is stretched horizontal.

Sounds more complicated then it really is. If you do it chilled out, including a pissbreak, a coffe, a bj, another pissbreak and a smoke, you're done in 10 min

PS. the only logo thats original is on the rear, because there is no stretching.

-Bodykit on sides
-Lots of logo's =D

So yeh...after being bored by that I hope you enjoy and hope it looks good, and by the way there will eventually be a few interior mods from me...I'm just in the process of failing at it though...*needs to work out how to do shading on gimp 2.0* (pain in arse) but anyway.

Thanks for reading this and I hope you enjoy my skin,

Matt

Btw:if you are going to edit this I would need an application including what you are going to do with it and what you might get rid of. May I just mention though there will be a version soon without LPG filler cap or stickers or without lpg cap or lpg cap, fuel cap and no stickers.

Eventually.
