The Geek Prix Project
I started doing some car designs, the paint jobs are for a "Super Tourer" league (slightly slower than an MoE GT2).
All of these designs are currently missing league and driver decals, most have not yet got safety cut out and fire extinguisher markings yet, rookie plates, driver number etc etc. Series regs state rear wing must be black for displaying high contrast driver name (in thick white lettering).
First up this is my EBC Brake Shop design. EBC as a brand seems to rely a lot on a strong red and blue over white colour theme and I wanted to build that in to the base design, as well as feed in the lighter blue from the EBC shop web site.
After completing the front and left side of my design I went to view it actually racing and I loved how the plain right and rear side served to emphasise the detailed front and left. The driver decals will make the car appear more busier later so I decided to leave the design as it was in order to keep that detail contrast.
Another design i'm quite proud of is the Monroe Shop car. Working with the Monroe colours made for quite an easy design once I added the white trim between them, then throwing on the logos after I think it looks like a proper neat little race car design.
Dotz Wheels could have so many different cool designs being a hip hop / jungle street lifestyle brand. I decided I wanted to work with the yellow used on the Dotz Alloys website, and from there coming up with a design was easy and I implemented this in no time at all.
Currently i'm not happy with the bonnet design and i'm going to make a change to the windscreen visor so i've not shown them in this picture.
Finaly i'm going to show you the Brembo car, this one hasn't gone right at all. The key logo's are the BremboShop ones and they're unreadable at speed, and the rear of the car is so ugly I havn't shown it. This was the first car I did in the set and I am going to go back for a second attempt at it. So expect significant changes before the final draft.
