Why not a "what if North American Racing Team never died, and was still racing in the IMSA" kind of thing? You can replicate the NART 330, and make a "fantasy" version of the NART 458 GT3
AF is in NART's place only because it's a semi official team, but it's Italian so I don't know how properly it would fit. I'd love to see a modern day NART car.

That's the route I'd take, replicating the old livery then creating a 'what if' version on a new car. Take my Falken cars in the OP. Falken stopped racing in Japan in the early 2000's (their last foray was the 996 Porsche GT3 in the Super Taikyu) so I interpreted what their livery could look like today on a Super GT car.
AF corse is too removed from NART and all you have would be to replicas of unrelated cars IMHO.

Great pairing, you've got the period correct down to a tee on the more modern car, great work!
Couple of areas that could be easily fixed to give a more professional finish:
- You need to adjust the depth/angle levels on the F40 logos on the wing sides as they're coming out on the slats underneath. reducing the values should fix that easy.
- The Monte Shell logos on the rear quarters are starting to bleed up onto the side. You can correct this by placing additional shapes over the top and painting them white.
I've highlighted these in the image below:
The only other thing I'd do is try and colour match the yellow to the Shell yellow a bit more as the currect shade is a bit too lemony compared to the real car.

And also not to be a nitpicker @quinnidor, but that third picture should be in a spoiler Other than that, really great work!
Other than that, really great work!

M'eh, I've got an inkling of an idea... glad the contest is two weeks, struggling to find the time to do just one livery, nevermind two 
, and it'll mostly need to be custom decals as most of the retro brand logo decals I've seen are rubbish traces.
@syntex123 I like the idea of standardising the photos, so well done to you and anyone else involved in evolving the competition.

ugh, thinking of the past and present... and of the comp layout... I do have one question:
As I really struggle to make replica liveries, and their real or fake counterparts - is it ok to enter with completely fantasy liveries?
This is what makes me feel to decide to step aside of this round...

Copied from the rules in the OP:
"2. The liveries can be fantasy or real or a mixture of both (e.g. a replica of an old car and how it may look today if the team still existed or how a new team could have looked if they were racing in an earlier time)."
So, yes - you can enter with fantasy liveries.

unless i understood it wrong 
because there is the twist of period-correct thing. ^^

Oh yeah I got some help from most of you, @BLiTZ and @Raphaele in specifics, if I forget someone who helped more than minor stuff then I’m sorry - my memory is like a goldfish these days
It felt natural to standardize the entry format after seeing how @BLiTZ made his entries, and I’m so thankful he was willing to share his ‘recipe’.
Having the same looking images will make for a better competition imo. Thay way every livery is viewed the same and have the best presentation without the background elements being distractive.
think we found the correct format for this kind of competition!My entry was fantasy (although it exists in the PD-universe) so pure fantasy should work fine, as long as you use period correct decals and stuff it shouldn’t matter

Ah crap I didn't read the important part about the location 
Moral of the story don't try to be smart and think you know best without reading the rules first like me

Yes, complete fantasy liveries are ok with me, so long as they're period correct for the cars.

Entry Changed
My first idea was to make two Gulf liveries. But I thought, that livery might be used alot.
I've also wanted to make a momo design, but i didn't which car to use and how it should look.
Thanks to this weeks competition I finally made two designs that I'm happy with.

Looks great but needs to be done on a specific scape sorry to say.

Okay, I will change it as soon as i can.
My bad, i stopped reading when i saw locations: any and scapes: yes. Then glanced over the rules and everything looked the same as last week.

Looks good!
But yes, you missed something rather important My last post in a rather big fat font was a reminder to re-read the rules if I recall correctly. If not my last, then at least one of the last. Not a good idea to "glance" at the rules, always smart to read
Some minor changes were made but most importantly how the entries needs to look. It's there to ensure everyone get a fair chance by eliminating any distractions, so you only see the livery and nothing else.

Great work, really captured what I was aiming for with the theme!

But then you would get quality problems, and it wouldn’t be 4K
I tried using these settings yesterday, and I love them!
Thank you to Blitz for sharing these settings, I don't think I'd ever have worked these out!
[I think] Just to be aware that Chromatic Aberration is called Colour Fringing in GT Sport.

Looks good! Be sure to use the right entry format thoughFINAL ENTRY
I wanted to do something that someone would recognize instantly, but still a fantasy livery. I also wanted to use a sponsor that had a big difference between then and now. I went with a design from "Days of Thunder", the Russ Wheeler Hardee's car. Since GTSport doesn't have a NASCAR, and I just started with the game I chose a pair of cars I had. These two beemers.
Ill update later with links to the liveries as soon as I set them to share, and figure out how to link them
