Here it is: 18 teams, 31 drivers, 32 liveries & over 100 hours spent.
This started out as a small passion project for personal use, but slowly gained outward interest. So, in my probable lack of good judgment, I decided to get the full grid recreated.
This project was started on 13th May, so just over 25 days of nearly back-to-back work to get the grid recreated as best I could.
Given that 1999 was 24 years ago (yes, it hurts to think about that), imagery was tough to come by. Likely in part because this series was largely overshadowed by the iconic 'golden era' of BTCC. I am by no means the top 1% of livery makers, so there will be some inconsistencies and inaccuracies, but this skin pack will serve its purpose perfectly.
Any updates I make to the cars going forward will be through this pack - not their individual downloads.
You will need the following cars for this pack:
VRC Vorax Vector
VRC Gojira Ascent
PM3DM BMW 320i
F302 Audi Audi A4
BEM Alfa Romeo 155
MSC Alfa Romeo 156
Note: I have not BoP'd the cars, from limited testing the Audi, BMW and Alfa 156 are a bit too quick and will need pulling back to the VRC cars, whilst the 155 may need some help to get on pace. Working on properly balancing the cars to the VRC ones is something that will take hours upon hours of work, which I do not wish to do.
This is the biggest livery project I've taken on since I started skinning 5 years ago, so I sincely hope you all enjoy it.
So, without further ado...
Enjoy!
