Well, wikipedia said 28th July. :lol:

And, I've managed to finish all the talent files, and I've been testing the liveries as I make them/they are submitted, and I've got some indication of who'll be on top..... PM and Phoenix

Oh so many black Liveries.... Guess my colours will have to change.

I honestly have no idea what colours to run. I can't paint my own cars by the way.

Playboy? or is that too Risque.

If someone could come up with A Dragonball Z car, I would be amazed!

I'll test it tomorrow Nuppiz, i'm not on my computer at the moment. kostas, how's the Martini Nissans coming along? To everyone who has a team in this series, sorry for the delay, it's just liveries we're waiting on.

I don't think any of us mind waiting a little bit for the season to get under way, a bit of anticipation's nice

I can't imagine I'll be able to do the liveries, so could somebody work on them for me?

I would like Peugeot to be all-green with gold wheels (like the Renault on page 1), the Vauxhall to look like a period 888 Vectra (just like the Vauxhall on page 1), and the Renault to be blue and yellow, like this:

No sponsors on any of them, except for this on the bonnet, roof and doors:

I don't think I will have enough time to create my liveries,so here are a couple of pointers for thos wanting to paint my two cars.

--Both cars will be black and white.The 02 car will be black with two white diagonal flashes on the side and the 2 will just be a colour reversal of it.

--Both cars have fictional sponsors to make the car look nice,a-la Top Gear.

The team principal of Prism is in fact one Gordon Hedley. And I would prefer that any direct quotes from anyone within the team would come from me, but feel free to speculate on the mood within the team, how they will be feeling etc.

Sure, although I'll make Nurmovitsch's livery before that (doesn't change much, only the car number, personal sponsor and windows need to be edited).

I wouldn't bother with the windows If I were you, for some reason they're not showing up

Can you try and diagnose why that is? I've already done the windscreens for mine, its the body I'm still working on!

That's odd, although given my lack of experience with Targa, I could've just botched up something. If you could make them, I'd appreciate it, although they're not entirely necessary. Anyway, here's Nurmovitsch's skin file: http://www.mediafire.com/?o8za1h9h32qn2gv

Which skin should I start working on?

I've been playing around with graphics settings, but they're still not showin up. I do not know why

Anyone you'd like, I've alreay done Kickert Motorsports, The Good Will Out (Race You), and Prism Motorsports, scroll through the list and choose one. Just tell me first so I don't start working on the same skin!

RE windows; Everything looks very dark. Perhaps the way to fix it is brighten them somehow, the whites look very faint and the windshield banners just turn black. I wonder why.

I presume it's something to do with the alpha channels, but when I tried to change it it just reset itself. Weird.

The Martini Nissans are all in bright red if that helps

I think I might also put in car numbers on the windscreen like StockCar do Brasil, just to make it incredibly obvious which car is which

Nobody seems to have declared any preference over the venue for the Australian round of the championship so I would like to register a vote for Oran Park.

Choosing between Oran Park and Bathurst is a really tough decision. Bathurst is a classic, but I loved Oran Park and it's a shame it was knocked down. So, I think I'll give the middle finger to the NSW government and vote for Oran Park!

Yes, this. (No, not the forum member, the pronoun).
