skins

[John Westerlund]

Idea: Shall we have different skins on the two cars this season?

i.e. different window banner color and mirror colors to separate the cars

Reason: Make it easier to distinguish between cars on PSRTV

 

[David Garcia]

Good idea John. Yes the teams with A and B team should make diferent skins to be distingish.

It is DHR, Flat Out and DMSv.

Think John means the 2 cars in one team.

Skins for our 2 teams will be always different as its 2 different cars

 

[John Westerlund]

Tom is right.

For us (FO and DHR) it would be 4 skins.

For example

1 DMSv GT40. DMSv red livery, Red window banner, Red wing mirrors
1 DMSv GT40. DMSv red livery, Yellow window banner, Yellow wing mirrors
1 DMSv BMW. DMSv green livery, Red window banner, Red wing mirrors
1 DMSv BMW. DMSv green livery, Yellow window banner, Yellow wing mirrors

That way commentators and viewers can easily see which car is which in the broadcast

 

[Grégory Cogotti]

I'm agree too, it should be interesting to have a minor difference between the 2 car in the same team :smile:

 

[Ross Balfour]

Very good idea!

And at signup every Driver must choose Skin A or Skin B

Yes, In order to make it work it has to be annonced in the race thread not only WHO is going to drive (and reserves) but also which marker color he will use
(if we cant agree on them..)

 

[Grégory Cogotti]

The best i think is to restrict the color change on specific part of the car. I mean only mirror + banner (maybe wheels...) for example, in order to keep the identity of the team car.

 

[John Westerlund]

i agree. plus to stipulate colors in order to have all teams mark their cars in the same way

 

[David Garcia]

Banner and Mirror colours have to be diferent between same team cars.

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

brought that up ages ago, as it will help with the commentary. it's awfully difficult to identify the car behind or just in front of the guy the camera is following (he will have his name on the screen, so no probs there). I am all for it.

 

[Andreas Hultgren]

Now that the cars are different to some degree I thought about an important thing. When you give STC your teams drivers for the event can you please type which car he is in so that the commentators know from the start who is in which car and doesn't have to go through them all when entering the server?

Examples:
The Black Rebels
Black: Ivo Simons
Yellow: Gregory Degreef

Blue Flag Racing:
Blue: Mikael Larsson
White: Konrad Stanczak

@Andreas: that was the post I was going to write tonight talk of a well-functioning team. Don't have access to TBR website atm, but we should get together in the next few days to start planning the broadcast.

 

[Andreas Hultgren]

Hehe, I'm one step ahead of you, Eck And I bet Xosé can fix so that you can enter the staff forum again.
