Bouncing in a skin idea...

[Keith Peppiatt]

I love the skins - they are great and its always fun to spot guys driving in them on the other circuits. Did have a wee thought on the next evolution of them and thought i'd float the idea in here rather than pm all the admins...

FD nights have drivers of all skill levels turn up, some (like me) are generally constant back markers - sort of the aguris... ehm.. no... they not racing any more... the err... force india or what ever name jordan is carrying this season. opps sorry back to the point.

is it possible or even is is it required that the skin pack be extended to include 3 colours of skins (or L's) ?

for example.

1 - Green L / White skin - I'm a pro at this game- i eat it for breakfast. petrol pumps thru my veins etc...

2 - Blue L / Blue skin - I'm experienced in this game. I generally sit mid field. I'll grab the odd point here and there.

3 - Red L / Red skin - I'm new to the game or I'm generally a back marker.

As all the cars are RD branded you'll still have some nice shots for marketing stuff and in races you can better tell who is behind/ahead of you skill wise.

thoughts? good idea? bad idea? interested to know what others think.

(/me see they guy responsible for doing the skins sitting at the back of the room groaning at the extra work that may head his way)

hey Michael, thats pretty close to what i had in mind, very nice skin!

Maybe would make sense to drop out the month from the skin, not to have needed new skin every month?

This of course all, if we go for the Gentlemen driver votings again.

Warren, what do you think about it?

 

[Warren Dawes]

Yep! I like it and also agree, we don't want a different skin for each month.
Just make one skin that we can apply to all cars (WTCC 06 and 07).

 

[Ramon van Rijn]

That would be terrific Ramon, but quite a lot of work though.
Maybe one of the skins should signify "watch out for me, I hit someone last race and didn't stop and wait for them" A yellow card skin, I'm a naughty boy, or similar. :circuitzolder:

In a friendly way though.

In here Warren/Attila (9 colors in total on every WTCC06/07 car ): http://forum.racedepartment.com/rd-staff/4264-friendly-development-new-skins-v2-0-a.html

Once approved you can release them

 

[Michael Herrmann]

[Keith Peppiatt]

wow!

i go off for a few days to lay some laminate around the house and the idea has blossomed!

love the driver of the month idea and seeing a mix in colour pack under review is great.

If there would be a skinning contest i would give skinning a go.
