My other idea wasn't for the Beetle but was about the Bentley!
As I said before I wish I could have the "same" shape or at least some similarities in the name and so my first idea was related to Bugatti.
If we had a Gr.3 Bugatti I would have probably done a "British Racing Green Bentley Race Car inspired livery".
The Beetle never came to my mind so I'd like to congratulate you for that choice and the way you did it!
As long as it doesn't just look like a parody Red Bull/Honda livery and it's NOT on a Honda, I'll allow it. Mainly because I'm intrigued to see what this would come out like! If it's just a semi-replica with swapped branding and colours it's not really original...
Cheers, lol, you're absolutely right, I've tried it and... it isn't an original design, the cow and circle is just too close to the real thing, even if it does have cool flames in the circle . I'm going to try a Lifan Hongda on a Honda but have something more original, I think that should fit the rules, but I've got another Chinese manufacturer in mind if that doesn't work out
Considering how many users are struggling with this I made some instructions on how to attach images to your posts in the best ways possible. Ideally these can be applied to all postings, no matter if in the LEC or various photo and livery forums. Gallery Method 1 Gallery Method 2 Flickr...
I would like to introduce you the "HoldImposter"...
Based on a full carbon '97 Supra GT500, I chose the Holden manufacturer, unfortunatly closed from early '21 and missing in GT7.
Most of you knows that Holden was part of the V8 Supercar Championship in Australia, along Ford.
I always loved this Championship and these cars, so I decided to inspire the livery from the last ones and with some local sponsors.
To stick to the "imposter" idea, I did not choose a real driver.
My mind when to "John DOE" and The Stig, but we all know who really is The Stig... 🤫
For a brand which is not in the game I choose Spyker, one of the very few carbrands from my country The Netherlands. It was a promising brand with a good customer base, but the owners wanted more and more. They even bought a Formula 1 team which was really bad lol. They went bankrupt unfortunately but for this challenge I made a racing team for a new Spyer, the C10. I used the colors of the flag and some typical Dutch car racing sponsor brands. It was a quickie but I kinda like it as new Dutch racing team.
Annoyingly I'm not going to get time to get something together for this. The last 6 weeks of work have been mad and there's another month of madness ahead! 😠
Since I was a lazy mf that only sent out the draw of new themes today and didn't get a reply yet I'll extend this round until I have a new theme.
Sorry for the inconvenience
When SAIC re-launched the MG brand in 2007, they announced that MG now stood for 'Modern Gentleman' (originally it was Morris Garage). Cue a bit of this in Western Media, but it wasn't the end of the world, they were aiming sales at Chinese consumers. They sold less than 350 cars per year for the next 4 years... and haven't mentioned 'Modern Gentleman' since the re-re-launch in 2011...but never officially dropped it.
Behind the scenes SAIC had commissioned the SouperK Design Lab to save the brand, and after a few delays (ahem), SKDL are proud to reveal the all new 'Modern Gentleman with the Junzi Hanzi at the front' concept. 🙏.
Anyway. Red yellow and jade are the 3 auspicious colours in China, 8 is a lucky number so octagons it was, and Junzi is the Chinese version of Gent, but older and cooler; Confucious 'aspired' to be a Junzi, because to a Junzi it would be arrogant to actually claim to be one. Humility, community over profit, prizing 'learning' etc; getting stuck in with the hoi polloi rather than 'rising above'.
Aaaanyway, thought the Suzuki had a bit of MG about it, stuck it in the Macau Gt cup, made it shiny then sticker-bombed it with Chinese sponsers like a few of the independent teams do in the Macau Touring Car event.

Hey guys! Nice to you meet you all! This is my first time participating in LEC Challenge so I hope that I did everything right by the rules.
Huge props to @Nuschel01 for coming up a challenge that made me decided to join this community✌️
As a huge SAAB fanboy ofc I chose SAAB as the Manufacturer to satisfy my needs of having one in the game, even if it's just a fake one.
IMHO the R30 SS 's potential as a blank canvas is pretty amazing, as its simple boxy bodywork makes it less complicate to work on and I had such a blast making the livery!
also this is my first time seriously making a "Race car" livery so I'm still struggling with some things such as sponsor decal placement and layouts hope I did everything correctly💦.
The design is pretty much a homage\tribute to all things SAAB inspired from SAABs in the 80s to mid 90s era as I took a lot of inspiration from different SAAB elements.
I'll be really happy if anybody notices any of the references I included in the livery's design☺️.
So there you have it! The SAAB SUPER TURBO is here and ready to take on the Group 5!
Sorry I've been waiting for a message or something since the win but didn't see it coming, and I have to admit I didn't have time to come these last days (very busy since the Monaco GP).
I answer your message within a few hours I promise!
