Ok, random question for the painters here, which rim template would I choose if I wanted to, hypothetically, make the front wheels pink, and rear wheels purple? This is all hypothetical of course. Just a random question

I...don't know if that's possible. Most of the ones I've toyed with that had two bits either did nothing or were inner/outer wheel parts. It would be cool if it can happen.

Actually, it would be possible (and really nice) if (technical mumbo jumbo warning) we managed to assign different materials to the 3D meshes of the cars' front and rear wheels, but considering the tires genstring options (at least four for each car if the tire and wheel meshes are "glued" to each other), it would take A LOT of time to get this ready. :T

hmmm... if people taught me, I might be willing to work on this if people were interested. I'm that interested in having different coloured wheels lol

"Alright, let's get to this. We have a lot to cover. This is gonna cover everything from entries to the B-Spect Touring Car Series, to VRR Rolex GT, to B-Spec Super GT Season 2, to drivers, to re-branding, to sponsors. Let's hit the main points, and we'll highlight the most important ones for this series later on. First off, thank you to WOMB in Sibuya for hosting us tonight.We have the place the entire night, so after all this formal stuff gets taken care of, we can enjoy it!No, let's do this. First off, I would just like to say that RTi and everyone here remains committed to every single series and providing great racing and entertainment for fans around the globe. Now, to better do that, there will be a little bit of re-branding happening. You may have noticed that we have moved from RTi to BlackCat Racing. Well, we have changed again. Our new name will be ThinkPink.org Racing Team. ThinkPink.org is a worldwide site which helps to empower women in their daily lives whether through helping to remove them from unsafe living situations, to helping them find jobs, pay for everyday supplies, graduate school and helping to create scholarships for women in the fields of science and mathematics. With that being said, our goal as a team is to be 100% female led and driven. We already have an impressive lineup of women drivers from around the globe competing in every conceivable form of motorsports. We have Reilly Domingues and Satsuki Matsumoto in VRR IndyLights, Jamie Ngaire-Jardine is our driver in VRR IndyCar racing for Polaris Motorsports this season, and Eifel Tower next season. And I'm proud to announce the driver list for both the BTCS and SuperGT Season 2. In the Chevy Lacetti touring cars, we have Elise Johannessen of Sweden driving the number 13, and driving the 92 is Eva Libia Paramo of Mexico. In SuperGT, we have 2 cars worth of extremely talented drivers. In the number 80 BMW M6, we have Bettine Bernard of France and Melissa Colton of the United States of America. There have been huge changes over at the 13 camp, with Nissan Customer Racing approaching and offering us the chance to race one of their stellar Nissan GTR GT3 cars. Driving that will be Jung Jon Soo of South Korea and Margit Persson of Norway.
The opportunity to expand so much, have top notch drivers, and cars, as well as the best team out there representing us, takes a lot of resources. That being said, we do have some sad news regarding sponsorship. Unfortunately, Fujitsu have not renewed their secondary sponsorship deal with us. The last year of this deal is 2018 and will see major Fujitsu branding being run on cars for the last time in the 2018 VRR Rolex Endurance Series as well as the 2018 VRR IndyCar series. Fujitsu have remained a part of our corporate partners, however, not to the same level. However, that has given us the opportunity to go out and find another company willing to be a part of the ThinkPink.org team. our new secondary sponsor from 2018 will be Pirtek Fluid Management Systems. Wako's will remain our major partner, however, there will be Pirtek branding on our cars as well. We have found numerous smaller sponsors as well, however, I'll only touch on them briefly. We've signed small deals with Exedy Racing Clutches, StopTech Brakes, Bosch, YouTube, SumoPower, and Martini. We believe that our lineup of sponsors will help to make us an extremely competitive and well-regarded team around the world.
Now, I'm sure that you are all excited to see the cars that we will be using this season. As I said before, we have the Chevy Lacetti Touring car. In SuperGT we have a 2 car effort with both the Nissan GTR and the BMW MG, and in the 2018 VRR Rolex Endurance series, we will be running a GTR as well. I currently only have pictures from the paint shop for our Lacettis as they are about 85% completed at this point, however, I can share what we have:
Music Plays (some language) strobe lights flash, smoke billows, and the cars are there

Now, that being said, give me about a 5-minute break and I'll show off the brand new SuperGT cars. See you in just a moment!
Over to the SuperGT thread now
And welcome back! Glad you followed along with our mega reveal!
Welcome back from that break! Agin, I just want to say a big thank you to our hosts at The WOMB for being so gracious and welcoming! on to the next part! We'd like to say that this is a huge change for us all at ThinkPink.org Racing and RTi having so many cars and drivers spread out across the world! We couldn't do it without our amazing crew who spend weeks and months away from their families. Give them all a huge round of applause everyone!
Now, as I mentioned above, we have some quality drivers here. In the 13 Nissan GTR we have Jung Jon Soo of South Korea and Margit Persson of Norway. in the 80, we have Bettine Bernard of France and Melissa Colton from the USA.
As before, let's get the music going and show off the cars!
lights, smoke, music and cars:
Whew, those sure are some pretty cars aren't they! Well, we have 1 more thing to talk about quickly, then open bar, dancing all night long, and we'll have photo ops with the cars and some of the drivers!

Racerworkz to Field HSV-010 in GT500.
In a surprised revealation, The PlayStation Racerworkz team will not be campaigning the Ferrari 550 in GT500 as initially announced. Instead, the team will join the Honda camp and field an HSV-010. "In the end, we opted for something we had more experience in" Said team Owner/Driver Camyron Jackson. "When I made the announcement, I didn't expect the amount of difficulties we wold be saddled with. We also wanted to get something that I felt would be much more competitive right from the get go."

Audi Sport Team Xbox Ready For GT300 Battle.
Ahead of the new season of Super GT, Audi Sport Team Xbox has revealed its stunning R8 LMS racer as it aims to bring the fight to a highly competitive GT300 field. Team owner/driver Gary Slater said, "GT300 is always a tough field with highly competitive drivers and machinery. We want to mix things up with the best of the other GT3 cars in the class, hence why we chose the R8 LMS. Me and Kazuki [Yoshida] will be giving it our all for this year. Our private tests showed the car felt fantastic and we look to have a good scrap on track with the other drivers this season."
