Merci mon frere. It's not a grand scheme, but I do like it on 911s. No sponsors, this will be final.
The only other people I can think of off the cuff has told me they aren't interested in B-spec, and are in too many series both A- and B-spec. Perhaps a mod would be interested?

I've finally gotten some time away from work, and after a weekend of good rest (and time to get my senses together for the WSC organized by Earth), I am now restarting progress on requests.
In Progress:
@GTRacer22 - base completed, sponsors coming soon
Not Started Yet:
@Jahgee - Did @RACECAR ever send you the PSD files for your two cars last time? I actually think your entries last time around would be easily improved with just some additional sponsors.
@AudiMan2011
@Shadowbell42
@SonicCharmeleon
Moved:
@TS040 - @BayneHamlin1121 will carry this out since it's a simple number change.
@GranTurismo916 - as above

I need to start mine, possibly tonight - on a short break after finishing my Porsche Le Mans entries!

Put mine in the "not started yet" list. In case you don't get it: the primary sponsor (and theme) of my entry is AKB48, with minor Divekick sponsorship.

Just attempting to start my design, but as I don't have GTR2 I am using the car viewer application instead. Does anyone have (or have a link for) the Honda HSV-10 X-files?

Ah! Well at least I didn't spend too long looking! Thank you, will hope to start something tomorrow and have something concrete to view by start of next week. Will be strange doing a livery without constantly checking back and forth what it is looking like!

Nameless Motorsports Reveals Their Nismo GTR GT500
Nameless Motorsports (Formerly Total Control Racing) has revealed their GT500 entry for the TIRE Super GT Championship.
Using their ties to street racing from their old garage "Total Control", they had street performance manufacturers come and help out in the development of the car. HKS USA provided new engine parts to increase power and efficiency, and Brigdestone Potenza tires will be used to put that power to the ground. AEM has also joined the development for a high-performance ECU to maximize the engine's efficiency.
Nameless Motorsports is hoping that with these street performance manufacturers working on a world-class race car, the companies can also be seen as a reliable source for car parts when it comes to motorsports.
The highlight of the car would be the iconic Gulf colors. While used and recognized world-wide, these colors have never been present on a Super GT car. The livery was made to compliment the car as much as possible, making sponsors and the Nameless Motorsports logos follow the form of the car, and have the composition be as perfect as possible.
"A lot of time was spent on the base design itself, using the two colors of the tradition Gulf liveries to highlight the different areas of the car. My favorite par of the car would probably be the wing, our logo just flows so well with it." -Lenard Ross, Team Founder
The car was also seen on a private test at Okayama, or in the words of Mr. Ross, "Making sure it wouldn't blow up."
*Side note: This was before Hamlin fixed the windows for me.
The whole team is hopeful that the car will be successful, and as being an American team, it was quite a bit of pressure joining a Japanese motorsport.
"The car was built in the US, the mechanical side was developed with American engineers, and we have a livery hearkening back to the old days of American motorsports success with the GT40, so hopefully that will be an omen from the racing gods (laughs)" -Mr. Ross

I hope you all had a very wonderful holiday!~
I would like to announce that paint scheme deadlines for this series will be February 7th, 9PM PST. That's a Sunday, if anyone's wondering.
Have fun painting!~ n.n
Below are the people who have yet to give me a paint scheme that is complete. If you are omitted, you are either okay'd for the season, or, you have a request, and therefore the commissioner is tagged instead.

Awaiting Approval:
@GTRacer22 - Barring any alignment issues, this request is now complete.
Starting Now:
@AudiMan2011 - Shouldn't be all that difficult, though the Shiden is a complicated little car.
Not Started Yet:
@SonicCharmeleon
@Jahgee (GT300)
@Shadowbell42
@tankuroded
Closed:
@Jahgee (GT500) - RACECAR's original livery appear to fulfill the request well enough, and you requested for no further additions.
