Base models - what will you do with them?

[Dwight_C]

Paint them and change their numbers. Because that's all you can do.

Play along. Do you have a specific color and number that you like to use? Also can you change the wheels? Is there a certain style wheel you like to use? See, this can be fun!

For American classic car RMs, I liked to do the classic colors with steel wheels, and make them look like period-correct racecars. For Japanese cars, I like a metallic lime green with a bead blasted wheel. For European cars, I like a vivid yellow with black wheels. For numbers, I use 1, 3, 7, 57, and 74, all for varying personal reasons.

random color and random numbers

Play along. Do you have a specific color and number that you like to use?

Yeah @SlipZtrEm. Play along, this is all you have to do.

 

[PletdeKoe]

Create a Lightning Yellow one with black racing wheels and drive the living daylights of 'em!

 

[GDII]

I think it's a slightly good move in the right direction. I don't race online (much) but those who do, you can have a racing series with identical racecars that have different colours and numbers. It's no livery editor but it's a start I guess.

For me it would be some shade of blue or red with #5.

 

[opelman]

is there somewhere base model car list yet?

 

[Brutaka]

There was a while ago but you can just watch the full dealership vid and find them.

 

[lbpomg95]

Aruba Blue, Black wheels is possible and likely No. 28 or 08.

 

[05XR8]

Two of each, #6 & #71. Might go off-white with matte dark green wheels if we can colour them. If not, black chrome or Super Autobacs Orange.

 

[RACECAR]

Well its basically mandatory that the very first base model has to be in Matte Black (or Matte White) since they are basically the closest things I have to Test cars. The others however, Likely Blue and probably numbered 32.

 

[CarBastard]

Mazziora Andromedall, #5 or Nissan MNPIII, #93.

 

[jules283]

silver...007...shaken not stirred !

 

[timbomat1]

Hate me, but I'll try to avoid race cars in GT6.

 

[MustangCobra95]

If you can have multiple colors, I would put Red/Blue on the car and white wheels with the number 76, representing Independence Day (July 4, 1776). Gotta love the USA.

I would also do a Maroon car with white wheels and a number 12, representing the 12th Man at Texas A&M. Gig 'em! 👍

 

[HuskyGT]

Metallic Blue, white or any shade of gray and/or black. The number depends on the car, and it usually hints something about the car itself. If I'm driving the M3 GT, I'll most likely choose the number 92.

 

[vk56dehan]

Gt500 GTR in matte black #56

 

[Blank_Redge]

Number 42. Because Life, the Universe, and Everything.

Color is whatever happens to tickle my fancy, for the particular car. I don't have a rigid go-to color.

 

[sk8er913]

 

[eSZee]

I wonder if we can pick a color for the numbers? I'd like to use flat paint for them if possible.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Most likely Champion Blue #13 with black rims, but that may change, as some colors just plain look better on a certain car.

 

[KWZX10]

A wrc blu mica supra with gold rims, first. #7

 

[Youngun]

Al depends if i join a racing series but a darkish purple (midnight purple iii maybe) with black chrome 5 spoke wheels.

 

[Pit Crew]

💡 Royal Blue body with Orange rims, Number 40. 💡

 

[JohnBM01]

Blue (like a Sapphire blue or maybe Gran Turismo Blau), gold wheels, number 25. However much further cars can be customized depends. For instance... I might even go with blue with gold stripes or some gold accents. Or, I may go with one of my alternative colors- red (ruby red or crimson) and gold.

 

[Snaeper]

No specific color, but number 21 is my number.

 

[Scuderia Paul]

All my GT5 RMs get #24 but the colour is model dependant. I wonder if the Peugeot 908 HDi FAP Base Model is black or carbon fibre as if it's the latter I will not touch it. Bare carbon fibre race cars are one of the most purposeful looking things in life.

 

[yzfmike]

Midnight Blue Pearl #84 Birth year.

 

[PsuPepperoni]

Birth year, #90

I probably won't have them all the same color, but it would be orange.

 

[sparkytooth]

All of them will carry the number 55.

 

[BrandonW77]

Colours will vary but the number will always be my old karting number, 25.

You lie, you'll have a purple body with gold rims just like always.

While a livery editor would have been better I think the base models should be a nice touch for leagues, add a little uniqueness to the grid instead of looking like all the other leagues (past and present). Nothing terribly exciting but at least it's something. 👍
