Hey guys, I've created this liveries pack based on the real Copa Onix Jeans de Formula Uno, now defunct Brazilian racing series, which started in 1992. The series was merged in 1996 with the release of Formula Palio as a sub-category in the Copa Fiat de Turismo and was last contested in 1998.
This racing series is the basis for the Copa Uno featured in Automobilista 2 and was known for the thrilling competition between these popular cars. In real life, the series was divided into two categories: turbo cars and aspirated cars.
About the pack, initially I wanted to focus on one of the categories in one specific year. Unfortunately, information about the drivers and detailed pictures of the cars are really hard to find. So, in the end I decided to take liveries from 1993 to 1995 seasons, 16 cars from Turbo category and 12 from Aspirated, despite of all cars in AMS2 being aspirated (although I think it's a bug because the external car design is based on Turbo).
I've also included a drivers xml with the correspondent drivers names and a skill level rating roughly based on their seasons results.
Known differences to the real-life counterparts:

Known differences to the real-life counterparts:
- The cars #11, #26 and #45 are from the '95 season. That year the championship main sponsor was Petrobras, so in real life the number signs had the Lubrax brand instead of Onix Jeans. But I kept the former in order to maintain uniformity.
- The car #40 (Tino Vianna) actually was #17 in 1994 Aspirated category. However the number 17 was already used by Ingo Hoffmann in Turbo, so I changed to #40, which was his number during the '95 season.
