The GT Sport Livery Editor Competition 16 - CLOSED

[Mires]

FINAL ENTRY

Not sure if color correct, but I have the feel that many car paints back in the 80's were a bit "sun-worn" or pastel shades, so I applied this light beige base paint and added some red shapes and the black (grey) line. Added some sponsors (hopefully not messed up with brandings) from quick retro search in discovery tab. As a main sponsor I did chose Atari, as it was my first PC in the 80's. Round number plate was obvious back in the time and for the number I selected the 9 from Japanese licence plates, which screams with retro style (the font, not the number ^^ ). And obviously used the old Audi logo on the roof and on the rear wing.

Really, ultimately, it's the voters that I hope will sort out those who understood the theme from those who didn't.

It's not hard to google 1980's racing cars and pattern your liveries after their style and capabilities of the time.

Think Repsol, Martini, Coca Cola, Marlboro and more you guys! Follow the K.I.S.S. rule! Some of the most iconic liveries of all time originated in the '80's you guys!

I think @D-Max already said that he will message if he sees an entry which is not conform. It seems that he is more flexible than some other contributors.

 

[Lebowski]

This is why im not bothering, its lacking in ultimate clarity.

If feel like my livery is on point. If that car got dropped off in a race bay in the 80’s, and had to have a livery with swatch as a sponsor, that could very well have been on the track after paint.

If it’s off point I would be happy to redo and resubmit.

Your cars do. Although I would say the Z4 is heading more towards a 90's vibe I wouldn't say it's out of place.

The 80's were colourful for sure and didnt have 10 different colours all at once.

I don't see ANY cars in here that show loads of colours, insane shapes our out place decals.

Please feel free to point out some entries that do not conform

That wouldn't make much sense. You chose the theme, you have to be able to judge the entries. It's kinda bad for people submitting their entries to point out how someone else's off the rules. If it was a location or settings thing, sure, that's helpful. But if it's something that it's not written down as a rule but it's only part of the theme proposed, then the judge has to make the call.

I think you're being too generous on what makes an 80s style of livery but I'm OK with your decisions. One thing I think it would have helped with the "80s feel" are logo restrictions. You allowed for people to use old or new logos of the same brands and IMO, using modern logos automatically takes away the coolness of the idea. Anyway, this is only my opinion. I'm very picky.

The inspiration for my Sony Walkman design was two-fold, the 1st was the walkman brand values themselves which scream 80's to me and the 2nd was the bright Orange Jagermeister designs of the time, one bright base colour and a few decals- simple but very effective.

In the end, it's a subjective theme that is definitely open to personal interpretation and thus I'd suggest perhaps that unless D-Max himself pulls up a specific livery we all respect the ideas and efforts of others and avoid this turning into a 'who has the greatest understanding of 80's liveries' contest.

That should have said, that you feel do not conform.

I had to go through the rules a couple of times with Syntex because it was too vague, then it seemes a litte too brash, this was sort of a comprimise. it took me the full time from winning until an hour before the thread went up to get it right!

I think I did this right, I see I'm not the only one who went down the gaming/pc route this week.
The design was semi inspired by the apple branded Porsche 935 of the 80s, Kept it quite clean and hopefully within the rules.

Not currently shared in game but I will update this post when the pictures and livery and suit are shared.​

FINAL ENTRY

Borrowed some inspiration from the legendary 1989 Kremer Racing Porsche 962 CK 6
In the 1980s, when hifi car stereo was young, Kenwood and Pioneer were some of those must-haves.
So I went with another nice-to-have: the Lamborghini Huracán​

@Fibroman77 Still can't see them. You should use Flickr to upload the pictures that will make it easier for you!

I don't know as I've never used it, but it might be that you've got them as private viewable.

@Fibroman77 I used that as well before but it didn't work always and Flickr works easier. So the tip I got was to use Flickr.

Deleted.

Alright, updated my entry!

I think you should reduce the size of the number on the rear as the recess of the light makes the 78 look like an 18.
