[VRR][B-SPEC] 2018 Vodafone IndyCar Series season

[swiftsmith]

Got any room for me to come back?

 

[Eva]

Got any room for me to come back?

Sure. You'll be a 1 car team though.

 

[swiftsmith]

Sure. You'll be a 1 car team though.

That's completely fine. @BKGlover are you able to something quick and mostly basic for me?

 

[BKGlover]

Yes sir. Start a new convo, send me the details, I'm planning on making this weekend a livery grind so it shouldn't take long.

@Eva how does the list look so far?

 

[Eva]

Yes sir. Start a new convo, send me the details, I'm planning on making this weekend a livery grind so it shouldn't take long.

@Eva how does the list look so far?

Still extremely poor. There's literally no way half the field is making the tests I don't think. People just procrastinated too much and it kicked the series in the gut. If there were any questions at all as to why I was so restrictive on liveries in 2016, this answers that to a T.

 

[Eva]

Updated list based on what I have received these past two days. Both @BKGlover and @RACECAR have said they'll be sending more this weekend. Hopefully that's still the case. Testing will be run the first week of December, with the first handful of races being run after that.

[Niku Driver HC]

It seems I've missed the notifications for this thread, and I apologize in advance for not noticing earlier. Regarding the livery, and in order to speed up the process, is it possible to just use the 2017 version and be done with it? I can't come up with something in time for testing, and obviously there are people here who can handle the short timeframe...

Liveries need to be updated to include the identification requirements, new series logo, and update from Firestone to Pirelli tires. And pit boxes are also required.

I still have your Burger King car...

...And I can do this too. Get me a team logo of some sort and I can call it done in short order.

First off, thanks for clarification, Eva, much appreciated. Secondly, please do BK, that is appreciated as well.
As far as team logo guidelines, a flame of some sort will do. If you want to try something else, I'm open to possible variations on the theme...

 

[Com Fox]

What day is the due date for the driver stats?

 

[Eva]

What day is the due date for the driver stats?

November 30th, same as the primary schemes and pit boxes.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

I don't think this has been asked by anyone else so it's probably assumed straight away. But in the case where a driver who has raced in previous seasons doesn't send any new driver stats, are old sets kept in their place?

Yes.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Yes.

Alright, thanks for clarifying. I'm keeping the 2017 set, seeing as it provided good results when the RNG wasn't betraying my driver...

My event running schedule for December:
December 2nd: Open Test at Circuit of the Americas
December 4th: Closed Ferrari Test at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya
December 6th: Closed Alpine Test at Circuito del Jarama
December 10th: 2018 Monster Shootout at Homestead-Miami Speedway

@Eva I haven't been able to check VRR Indy for a while until right now.

@RACECAR I think I asked this before but you made the Superchips #30, right? If yes, could you update it to this season regulation?

Will do, friend 👍

Will be sent in the second wave of cars.

 

[Valkyr1313]

@RACECAR you were still able to transfer or make any liveries for me right?

 

[swiftsmith]

@Eva what do you need from me for my new team?

@Eva what do you need from me for my new team?

Assuming you're using Logan's Roadhouse as a scheme, all I need is a engine supplier.

 

[swiftsmith]

Actually I'll be using a completely different set of stuff. Except for Matthew Evans.

 

[Eva]

Actually I'll be using a completely different set of stuff. Except for Matthew Evans.

That'll make things super complicated for you given the deadlines. But you'll need to give me all the new information.

Alright I'll PM you the details

Sorry I haven't answered. Its been done, will be in the second wave of cars sent 👍

I’d like to request proofs of both car and pit box liveries for #9 if you don’t mind. I’d just like to see what it looks like.

Thanks!
