I gave it a 700PP tune, it performed well. Then again, I ran it on Easy (I don't care for close races in these)

Not sure if this is allowed in this thread but LMGT3 numbers will switch from orange to green next year.
For if anyone is wanting to create a new LMGT3 livery

You know how in Gran Turismo Sport, Ford had two Gr.B cars, the Ford Mustang Gr.B Rally Car and the Ford Focus Gr.B Rally Car? What if GT Sport did the same with Gr.4, having a Ford Focus Gr.4 with the Ford Mustang Gr.4?:

Somebody mentioned Super Utes last week, and apparently, I've been living under a rock, because I had never heard of that. Being a truck guy, I started googling, which led to some inspired by liveries. Wasn't going for accuracy, just wanted to get a few together, and gave me an excuse to race a bunch of Tundras, when I'm done. I was also fortunate to have several Gr3 Lexus engines I could drop in too.

Dabbled with some logos and colors for a car I'm running in an upcoming online race and I'm pretty happy how it turned out, albeit being a bit loud. Hood and wing are green CF, inspired by Mine's Motorsports. Unfortunately we can't change the color of individual wheels ...

I still don't get how people like liveries.
Someone slaps on 4-5 stickers of a replica, while there are lot more to add. Turns out to be popular.
Others where there is masking and a lot going on you cannot see, hardly gets any likes.
Seems like a lot of people don't understand how much work goes into a livery at times.

Idk if it's just me, but I'm feeling called out by your post.
I think it just comes down to taste and in most cases general appearance. While some look for the technical stuff, others judge by pure looks and style. Thankfully the automotive world is very diverse and personally I appreciate simple approaches as well as over the top stuff and can respect what others do or like, too. Also, how much thought went into a style to create something tangible and cohesive feels very important to me.
And, you're right about things going unnoticed/underappreciated - the R34 previously posted would count as something you described. The sponsors are indeed a mosh up of the Power Getter and M-Speed Replicas I did previously mixed with fictional diy logos. Since I spent a lot of time in researching and creating all the replica decals beforehand, I hold my creative freedom to use them for fun fantasy liveries etc.
Livery breakdown:
The main decal was illustrated from scratch and the windshield and hood logo were provided by the race series host, but further modified with varying line weights. The carbon fibre was coded way back in GT Sport to stuff in the highest tiling/ingame resolution ratio and can be downloaded from my profile, like most other decals I create. The event this car will be running in uses similar builds/tunes as you would find in Super Taikyu, so I felt recycling sponsors from a recent replica.

I can understand if replica mosh ups or generally fantasy race liveries may not be your cup of tea, but phrasing this in such a dismissive way feels unnecessary.

@ikon_313 It is you. 
I wasn't talking about your R34 which (despite you used a lot of green) i quite like, but in general.
It's just an overal feeling. It's also the reason i don't share a lot of liveries any more. It's not that i need confirmation lol. But it kinda stings getting 10 likes on a livery where you put a lot of work into.

Maybe you have this impression because recently I've mostly posted fantasy stuff. If you would take a look at my ingame profile, you would see the styles shared are mostly replicas, where some are even chosen due to their difficulty with masking, shading and texturing. Doing mosh ups or fictional cars is just a fun exercise, whilst there's still some details sneaked in that gets unnoticed anyway.
Pouring hours over hours into shared content and getting widely unnoticed sucks. Most of my shared styles have 2 digit likes so I know the feeling. But as long as you're doing this for fun and not trying to live off it (i.e. youtube, professional livery design for race cars, etc), fun should be a priority and not what others like.

I see that you are into drifting and so my answer is "happiness isn't around the corner, happiness is the corner."@ikon_313 It is you.

I make liveries for myself and while I like some of my work I see myself not at the same level as you and @ikon_313 for example. That's why I don't publish anything here and only sometimes in my GT7 profile. Nevertheless I enjoy doing so, just for myself or an online racing series...
Hopefully you find joy again. Have a nice weekend!

@p78 I have done a lot of replica liverys and a lot of random made up ones, also created some for other people.
I have made lots of decals myself but have not shared most of them.
Yet with all of the time and effort I have put in, I still don't get many likes on mine either, it's just like social media, a lot of it comes down to exposure and it usually grows more when certain people 'latch' onto you and it basically causes a pyramid scheme of other people liking and following, so on and so forth.
I'm not a social media person at all, no FB, Insta, X, etc accounts.
I couldn't care about the likes and shares, I do it for my own fun as I enjoy it, and just share it for others who either can't/struggle to make liverys or don't have time to make the ones they really want.
If you make them and enjoy doing so, then that is all that matters.
Out of;
271 photos I have shared (I like photography IRL)
and
60 styles I have shared (I like graphic design IRL)
This is my likes / reposts gained
I should also add that I do have 3 popular followers that tend to repost, like and comment on near enough everything I upload and yet you can see my numbers still aren't high.
I have lots that I haven't shared and maybe if someone wanted one similar, then I would upload it.

Trans Europ Express (Obviously with one digit likes

While I sometimes find my self wondering how many or how few likes are on liveries from other creators, I just have fun making them and showing them around.
The world is full of bad things, unfair competition and bad dudes, just don't let all this too close to our hobby imo.
Have a great weekend my kind gentleman!

I really need to update my thread, kinda lost the initiative. I've got lots of new ones done, but haven't taken pics and dealt with the grind of it all. Work gets busy, and life is almost always in the way, excuses excuses lol. I'm pretty steadily working on a livery of some kind in between racing. It's how I keep up with the cars that I've spent any amount of time driving. I just finished buying the last remaining cars a month or so ago. The majority of which have never been driven. So as I start driving/modifying them, depending on how much I like them they'll either get a basic paint change and details, or a full livery. It has to be something you want to do. Doing this for likes is probably the quickest way to disappointment. I wish I had the time to delve into SVG creating, but I just don't. I'm super thankful for all the guys over in the SVG request thread. Going to make a point of getting a few cars posted up soon.

Thank you for sharing your views on likes and what motivates you to create designs.
I think the feeling of underapreciation is a general thing in todays online environmet and may be caused by the viewers mass consuming media, not taking the time to go beyond a random reaction and actually take the time to comment and as Gingerale stated, only liking popular stuff to get more reach themselves. Even on gtplanet, it's sometimes only pic after pic and only few comments or critique. Adding to this behaviour, the GT7 sharing infrastructure doesn't facilitate direct tie in of social media platforms like instagram, X/twitter or youtube so anyone outside of the game doesn't see anything that is shared inside it.
Maybe, we as a community need to cultivate a constructive environment, instead of expecting the viewers to change their habits. And if you want reach, promote your stuff on a broader scale across different platforms.
That being said. Here's a design created on request for @Gorefast - BMW M3 '03 Cup Car
Tried to make something reminiscent of older BMW touring cars with a modern street style and made two color versions. Chose the Clash of the Titans, Playstation and BMW as a main theme and mixed a few decals from the user database with in game and custom decals. Clash of the Titans decals created by @Lomic.

Exactly.
I've shared plenty of liveries and thousands of decals and it used to baffle me how someone using those same decals I've shared to create the same livery would rack up several hundred likes when I get none. But quickly thought I don't care, I'm doing this for my own fun and relaxation.
Unless you're part of those "teams", with whatever their acronyms stand for, fishing for views and likes it'll never change. I'm not going to turn something I enjoy doing into a chore or what feels like work just to be popular. I finish a livery now and look at it, share it, admire it, race it and think yeah, that looks sweet. If I get double digit likes, that's a bonus.
