Corvette meeting mod Valvoline skin request

thes Escort Cosworth were 4WD   and I suspect the Herbert GT was a 964 RSR with some supercharger/turbo added to it

Found the rear of the Frankie car on their site, apparently he specifically called it the "Corvette C4 RR":

just to clear , he sold it to Rudi Seher  who ran it in Valvoline livery , right ?

Frankie's  Garage apperead just at Zolder opening round, then next 3 rounds no Vette  and at Rd. 5 Nurburgring it first apperead under Valvoline livery

I'm pretty sure it's just a completely different car

it seems you are right    a different car many smaller details differ like the that side vent or the frontal air intake

but most importantly the roll cage sems to differ too

I think the top one is Zolder and the bottom is Avus, the Frankie car only showed up the first round

intelpower wrote:it means Alex can do 2 Vettes now  

Nope, coz I can't identify all the sponsors on Riedel's car...

which ones you can't?

All the sponsors except D&W and Frankie's Garage.

You know just posting zoomed in screens of the photo everyone already has is pretty pointless. The photos are much too far away to reproduce anything respectable.

Try to help actually find the logos themselves or links to old websites of the companies rather than zooming in on it and saying thats what it is when all of them are obvious. Sure you can make this skin in 5 seconds if you don't bother to try and find any of the text to the logos but some people have higher standards than that.

For instance the MPT text might be Metallbehandlung Plasmatechnik gmbh from the site below as the text length seems to match

don't you think I already tried finding the logos before ????

and some logos like that Star with a tree   there is no text so you don't even know what to look for

but find it easy to take a regular star and add with brush the underpart

Yep, it's exactly my opinion : if I can't identify at least 90% (or more) sponsoring, I prefer not to paint the livery. I use only original logos or remade by myself, based on real clear pics.

I have the same problem with Scuderia Offenbach, and Augusta logo : I can't read what is written below...

Alex that Vette is a one off entry in an obscure championship, i do beleive you can do 90% of it , heck if such a problem you can state  in README not totally accurate due to lack of reference

and regarding this no 18  Porsche it becomes a DUPLICATE  to the Valvoline Corvette   , same 2 drivers  , this Porsche was driveb from rd.3 Zeltweg   onwards by  Ludwig Schmalenbach and had no 19

I know I'm late to the party but just wondering if these ADAC GT '95 skins like the Valvoline Corvette too have a chance to see a release in the future? Thanks!

About Scuderia Offenbach Porsche :

I found the Augusta logo, but can't use it completely due to wheel arches mapping (distorsion).

And I can't identify sponsor on rearwing...
