This isn't a full skin, but a resource for creating skins — yet another template for number plates. This is a single, editable GIMP image that includes templates for several sports car racing series. It is organized as several layer groups for various sanctioning bodies (WEC, ELMS, IMSA, etc.), further subdivided by series, class, etc. To make a number plate, just show the appropriate layers, edit the car number, and (optionally) export to a flat PNG or other image. These exported images may then be copied into your skin.

WHAT YOU GET

Number plate templates for all of the series and classes below. Listed with each one is the closest background color code that I was able to find in my research. As of the 2019-05-19 update, the template's resolution is now 512x512, which should be enough even for 4k-resolution skin files.

WHAT YOU NEED

Nothing. As of the 2019-05-19 update, the archive includes a directory full of all the custom fonts required for the file. All have been gleaned from the Internet on sites that claimed, at least, that they were freely available.

WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE

This post is limited to 10 images, but here is a representative sample:

WEC_with_DHL_example.png WEC (2017+) LMP1
IMSA_2019_DPi_example.png IMSA (2019) DPi
angled_DTM_example.png DTM angled plate (tough to see white-on-white, but it's there)
SRO_GT3_AM_example.png SRO Blancpain GT3 (2019) AM class
VLN_2017_example.png VLN (2017+)
VLN_2016_example.png VLN (2016)
IMSA_2019_GS_example.png IMSA (2019) Grand Sport
GlobalMX5_example.png Global MX-5 Cup
Ginetta_GT4_example.png Ginetta GT4 (fantasy league)

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE

Included in version 2.3 of this resource (released 2024-02-03) is a set of custom UI "badges" that can be applied to existing cars in Assetto Corsa, either manually or via Content Manager, so that the cars' marque and class will be indicated in-game. This is particularly useful for realtime apps like SubStanding to show each car's marque and class during a session.

AND THERE'S EVEN MORE
