Hi everyone,
After I noticed the similarities between rFactor 2's newly released BMW M4 GT3's templates with the official ACC templates for the car (can be found here, video by our community's very own @Boonatix ), I had a closer look at that.
As it's the same model of the car used, I adjusted the ACC templates, inserted masks, etc. so it will match the rF2 template in the end.
Best practice is to work bottom to top through the layers and groups:
Insert your livery (as single layer or - better - as layer group) into "ACC official 100", duplicate it, move it into "ACC official 1.1525" and scale it up with factor 1.1525. Match layer position with "UV #1". Now drop a copy into the next group further up and move the position of your livery to match the UV layer of the scaled up ACC wireframe there. And so on. (And hide "COLOUR #1" layer group etc., of course)
Created and tested with Gimp 2.10.30
I experienced some quite long loading times when opening the file, your milage may vary.
Front grille M4 GT3 logo is still missing as well as number plates, these might follow in an update depending on how well (or not) this will be picked up by the community.
Example / proof of concept:
