[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Check the first post. In the first post there is a lot of information
Most important, we use a format for the entries, so it is clear that you make a entry.
#?? - Teamname - Carname - Driver's name (Class)
So an example:
#97 - Aston Martin Racing - Aston Martin V8 Vantage GTE - Darren Turner (GTE-Pro)

League skin
Deadline
There is ussualy a deadline for sending the skins. Check that. This is a deadline so it will be included for the first race or a upcoming race.

Can't make a skin? ask someone else
First of all you can ask one of the skinners on the forum, if they want to make one for you.

Creating you own skin
Making a skin yourself. Than you need to download the templates for the car, but also the numberplate what is needed for the league.

Also use here the standard formats (also check the first post of the championship for this)
Teams folder = 16 GTS Teamname (16 GTS LudWag)
Cars = 16GTSDriver#XX (16GTSLudwig13)
An example:
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Painting information can be found here:
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Basicly:
- Realistic
- Tire sponsors
- Name
- Normal size numberplate on correct places
- Need some (small) visual differences between cars, if there are more cars in one team.

If you are ready with the skin, you could post a screenshot in the championship topic to ask feedback if everything is correct. Than you can send the 'car' (the ingame team's folder) to the member who will create the skinpack.

It seems a lot of information. But a lot of information you not need inmediately (you not need to know the racing rules yet, when you are busy with making your entry). Next to that, the rules are ussualy the same.
