IMSA LMP1 Project

Looks amazing i say

Would it be a sacriledge if i suggest a 908 Brumos or/and Sunoco? I saw there the 919 but would look amazing here

Brumos is a Porsche team, has been a Porsche team, will be a Porsche team... if I put that on a 908 I might break the Universe

Sunoco maybe... have to think about it

By the way, what do you guys think for a season calendar? My idea is

1. Daytona
2. Sebring
3. Long Beach
4. Mexico City
5. Mosport
6. Lime Rock
7. Road America
8. Watkins Glen
9. Mid Ohio
12. Mont Tremblant
11. Petit Le Mans (Road Atlanta)
12. Laguna Seca

Obviously anyone can change the calendar to their liking, but special entries/liveries for certain races will only work if you do the season designed for the cars.
(Unless you edit it all manually of course. But I want this to be a series you can download, install, jump in and race.)

Nice calendar. You got the main attractions of the American Sports Car Racing schedule. Interested to see which versions of tracks you'll use.

Missing Sears Point (infineon/Sonoma/etc) but other than that great modern calendar

Donald Trump would say: replace mexico         for... Why not Riverside? After all it´s a fictive series and was an amazing track

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]: Do you know a good version of Sears Point? The only one I know has been around since SCGT I think and it has so many issues, like bad cameras, weird bumps etc...

AMC42, I won't replace Mexico Hermanos Rodriguez is a fun track aswell.
But yeah, Riverside, Miller Motorsports Park, St. Petersburg, Montreal, Barber, VIR, there's a lot of tracks left... but do you guys want to go through a 20 race champsionship?

And next question, how long do you want the races to be? I was thinking of 60 minutes, maybe 90 for Sebring/Petit and 3 hours for Daytona... I want to match the physics to the length of the actual simulated races, not the real world lengths.

Andretti Autosport HPD's. the #29 Sunoco car will be Daytona (and maybe Sebring) only.

Zuper

I have two more cars to do, Suntrust and Intersport, then the full season field is done.
After that it's one-off liveries, single entries, helmets, talent files, physics matching...
(I thought about doing a Champion Racing car btw, but the livery is all kinds of nasty and it will never look as good as it did on an R8, so I'm scrapping that.)

All the cars are actually ingame, in case anyone was wondering...

This looks EPIC!!  Great job mate

Suntrust...

Now the Intersport car. Does anyone have a good VeryBerryExotic logo?

Gorgeous Suntrust car!

nice project

Great idea and beautiful work buddy.  Thanks very much for all your effort, can't wait to drive one.

And here is Intersport

I've got 30 cars in total now, so I think I want ten more that are not full season entries. Any suggestions? Autocon is on my list, I think I want a Hawaiian Tropic car, a Monster Energy car (maybe), a few more Porsches, but I'm also open to suggestions.

May i suggest an Autobacs, Napa, Coke or Coca-Cola, Pepsi Max inspired in the Australian Ford Pepsi Max V8 Supercars, a Falken car, a Fosters inspired in the V8 Supercars or so and... Playboy, yeah, Playboy, the magazine we all read because of the "articles"

Hope i helped

Beautiful work on the Patron car.
If you want to make some more Porsches i would suggest some old IMSA liveries like the Löwenbrau car or the golden Miller High Life.

Flying lizard ran a DP at the Rolex a couple years ago. Having that team with their GTLM colorful LM liveries (orange and blue) would be cool.

Those are all good suggestions, thanks
I might look into the 80's Porsches, but I don't want to do to many GTP retro liveries, I already have the Jägermeister car... it could get a bit unrealistic, having tons of teams run retro liveries. But Löwenbäu could look good, it's a nice colour scheme.

The Flying Lizards, you mean these?
That's a challenge On a normal car I spend around 3 hours, these might be 12 or more... but it's an interesting challenge

Autobacs, Napa, Coke, Pepsi, Falken, Fosters, Playboy (for the articles) are all neat ideas

By the way, does anyone have a good Daytona Road Course? I have two, one is really old and the timing sectors are screwed up, the other is a conversion by RacerM I think, where half the cars get stuck in the garages :/
Since Daytona would have the largest field of cars, it would be good to have a version of the track that works properly.

Yep, those were the FLM schemes I was thinking about. Sorry, but your work is so impeccable I just had to ask because they would look awesome. When they ran the Rolex it was the standard red and silver on a Porsche Riley though.
I'm using the NAGP Daytona road course. Comes in two versions and holds 40 cars.

The DP Lizards never had an art car paint. Only the usual one.

Back on the suggestion side, I always liked this RedBull Brumos-entered DP. could be a one off besides the season-long #59/#58.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Also, rather randomly, there was a Gulf-inspired DP scheme at once...

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

The DPs are so ugly my PC asked if I was sure I wanted to load these pics

The Lizards might have never been in their art car schemes in reality, but I tend to think of reality as something that needs improving at times...

And yeah, a Bumos Red Bull is on my list aswell. Gulf I completely forgot about, so thanks for the reminder!

Next car... I've not shown the Dome a lot of love, so here it is being loved... for the articles!

This will be a Daytona-only second MSR car. Might not look like much, but ingame it has a new spec map... very black, with a sort of grainy silver reflection thingy going on.

my suggestions:
- Fat Turbo Express Porsche
- Rockstar energy car
- Bud Light Jaguar

Keeping with the semi-realistic one off theme, what about A Penske car for Daytona/Sebring? Or other Indycar teams running one-off races.
