The skins I've released recently have been part of my personal "Late 90's Sportscar What-If" theme to try and expand upon the existing cars available for that era in order to bolster the grids with cars that never raced, but weren't entirely outside the realm of possibility.
Continuing in a similar theme, but moving forward a couple of years I've started a new project recently that takes a look at what the sportscar landscape might have looked like with the collapse of both the DTM/ITC, the elimination of GT1 from the FIA GT series, and a year 2000 DTM revival that never happened.
With the growth of manufacturer support for GT1 and Prototypes in the late 90's, what if instead of a DTM revival in the early 2000's, we instead had a DRM revival? Here's what that might have looked like:

given that this is a German championship, I decided to fully embody the General Motors spirit and slap some logos from another GM brand on the URD Cadillac and call it a day

I'll get around to releasing these at some point soon-ish. I need to get some more Opel/Cadillac's done to round out the grid some more.
