Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline 2007
3 Mattias Ekström
4 Martin Tomczyk


This is the audi DTM of Ekstrom (Winner of 2006 Race of Champions) and Tomczyk. I'll be making the two variations of the car, with red & yellow finishings.

I'll get started soon!

ps: There is a similar skin already released, but I intend on doing the latest version of this car in as much detail as possible. I'm aiming towards a Red Bull skin pack eventually (I've got FOX, BF1 and FXO skins completed).

There's also a fantastic 2006 skin pack here

first step - side stripe & logo

looking good so far

step 2, front stripes + a few sponsor logos.

speaking of, I'm having real trouble finding some logos (see attached). Can anyone please help? I have the PCT one, the others aren't that easy to find... I've tried BotW & some google action... I might just recreate them once i figure out what fonts they are (www.whatthefont.com).

oz racing i think you will need to make but should be easy enouh as theoz racing logo is on BotW. The "audi sport" is arial i think,not sure if it is normal or bold though.

Skin is looking nice though

step 3... getting there!

I've decided against replicating the grill and badges... though it's been done well elsewhere, I'm not a big fan of 'paint on' parts. It'll just have to keep its FXR front

You can get that logo of BotW in vector format so no need to use that one

It wasn't so hard...

thanks for the help but, like I said, they don't have the same logo. I'll have to recreate the 'racing' part myself. It's not a problem at all, but it was worth asking around whilst I worked on other parts...

Really need to fix that inconsistancy of the striping along your B-pillar. other than that, that's top notch looking, so far

*ninjaedit* ... Actually. That looks akin to the car (s) in the photos, my bad. Cheers mate.

Yeah it just looks different because the FXR has a much curvier surface there - from a perpendicular or rear angle it looks nice and flowing.

Very nice skin could i have after ?

thanks. I'll be making them public... I've only spent 3 brief nights on it so far, will finish next week sometime I guess.

All done, pending any changes from suggestions. Please take a look and let me know if anything could be done better, or anything added. Also note that I've decided against making this an audi look-alike skin, so no grill or taillights etc painted on. Edit: just noticed I've nudged a bit of the grey paint on the front right by accident, already fixed.

I would still add the Audi badge to the front and rear, but without the grill

Yeah I've been considering that... maybe I will

Fag?(The logo in side view, in left) O_o

hehe don't ask me, that's what the real car has!

Only ekstrom's car has it though, so the homophobes among us can use tomczyk's car (the one with yellow stripes) :P

Great skin. But I'm not a fan of faked brand badges. It's just not an Audi. Have you considered removing the Audi badges and putting a replacement there?
Here's an old non-anti-aliased picture of an example of a rebranded car design.

thanks... Like i've said in this thread, I'm not a fan of it either. That's why I've avoided re-painting the nose to match an audi, and I've made compromises to fit the shape of the FXR when needed. I do, however, want to replicate the livery as close as possible. I can't do that without the large audi graphics... but it's not so bad... some forms of motorsport do this where the car is barely recognisable from it's original anyway, like nascar/stock cars for example.

Another skin of this same car was done with the whole audi kit painted on (and it's done quite well, linked in first post), but I tried to keep it FXR. For example, there was no need for me to add exhaust plating on the sides as per the audi as the FXR already has some. It also only has an exhaust on one side...

Anyways... I've got one person saying add the audi badge, and another saying remove all audi references... I tried the badges and it looks hell ugly on the front, but it works well on the back. So should I release with the rear badge or none at all (the audi decals are staying)?

Lets see how it looks with audi badges and grill

nah I'm happy with how it is now. An FXR with audi sponsoring :P
