A modern take of a very successful sponsor/manufacturer partnership on this R8 LMS.

Another Group C livery, and another ill fated V8. 1988 wasn't exactly a great year for Nissan when it came to Le Mans. Using March chassis that were a couple of years old at this point, Nismo decided to throw yet another new engine at the at the car. The results were not exactly great. The cars were entered in several Japanese races before the big event, with results ranging from a DNF to some mid pack finishes at best. Sadly Le Mans didn't go any better, with the car's engine giving up on lap 286. As for the other car:

While it managed to finish, the results made it clear the car was too far of the pace, managing 50 laps less than the leading the leading Jaguar and Porsche.

My much hated Tomahawk. But it's my farmers special, turning round for round to give me some miles, and I was sick seeing the stock red,

I think I screwed this one up, but I'm not really sure. It looks somehow cheap, and the masking job is not giving it the look I had in my head when I started to make it.

I'm still searching for the #Weraceasone rainbow alone. I only have the one with the rainbow and the words below it and the words only. I don't have a PC to make my own decals. Its messing up my ability to make the proper F1 safety car from last weeks race
If you can provide a nice quality image/logo of what you want, the people in the SVG request thread will happily help you!
 
1975 Le Mans #35 Moynet LM75 Replica

The Moynet LM75 is an interesting car. Built from the body of Andre Moynet's previous ventures at Le Mans, with an engine from Simca, a Porsche gearbox, all sitting on a chassis sourced from a Simca prototype. Bolt a spoiler and a splitter on there and you've got a car that by 1975 standards was outdated at best.
None of that really mattered however, as the car was sponsored by Esso, and the entire endeavour was largely a publicity stunt for the oil concern. Back then one of the awards given out was something called the Index of Thermal Efficiency, a prize given to most fuel efficient car to finish the race. With the world still feeling the effects of 73' oil crisis at the time you can guess why a oil company might want to win this.
Furthering the bid for good will, the car would be driven by a trio of ladies, as 1975 had been declared International Woman's Year by the UN. Marianne Hoepfner and Christine Dacremont were pulled from the Esso sponsored Team Aseptogyl, an all female rally team, and Michele Mouton was brought in to complete the team. The idea wasn't to be a unique one as it turned out, with rival company Elf fielding a similarly female team in the same class, albeit in a much faster Alpine-Renault A441C. A point brought home by qualifying, as the Moynet only managed a 46th on the grid, 8th out of 9 in it's class, compared to the Alpine's 8th grid slot.
Class victory thus seemingly impossible, the team was resigned to running in the back of the field. (Mis)fortune would soon strike however, as their direct competition in the Alpine would suffer fuel problems on lap 20, ending it's race. Not that the Moynet would sparred its own set of issues though. Problems with faulty starter motors would sideline the car twice, and a snapped cable would leave the car without a rev counter. Yet the car running, and by the next team's choice of drivers would pay off. Pouring rain would arrive at the circuit, leaving the rally drivers in their element as they started moving up the grid. With about two hours to go the ladies had taken the class lead, and they'd hold till the end, eventually finishing in 21th overall and winning the S2.0 class. This not only made them the second all female team to ever score a class win at Le Mans, but also the only one to have done so since.
