Could you provide a screenshot? It's tough to know what you're referring to otherwise.

That looks like your chosen race suit livery has been removed. What was on it?

If your suit happened to have DeWalt on it, that MIGHT be what got it removed (For some reason, the parent company has been on a crackdown with DeWalt logos being used). Otherwise, not sure what else would cause it.

Yup, that 100% was the reason. As you said, anything involving DeWalt‘s logo gets removed, I‘ve had several of my liveries involving their logo deleted in the past. You will also notice that newly uploaded DeWalt user decals only stay up for a couple of days at most before they get removed from the showcase.

Wonder why ??
Maybe someone should follow the money and see why ?

As a brand, you would think they look for free publicity...
... Could it be a competitor trying to wipe DeWalt out ?

Weird.

Some companies, as is their right, are very protective of their IP. Look at Nintendo as a highly visual example of this.

As to why they don't want "free advertising", ots difficult to know why but perhaps they don't want their brand associated with YouTube videos of people bashing each other off the track in their pretend race cars.

The DeWalt brand is owned by Stanley Black & Decker, and a quick Google search shows they are pretty aggressive in their IP protection (again, as is their right).

We don't even know if it was DeWalt. The OP didn't say.
