It's a great car, need to get used to it a little after Subaru for such a long time! But it's very nice!!
Happy to see it formely released :) Just two to go!

Just one thing I spot, the line at the nose cone of car 2 is interrupted because of the mapping of the front wing hang-up system for car 2


If you are racing, keep on racing and get some points!

Although I saw it a while back, I still think it's top notch.

Great stuff, Tom :)

Yeah, I'm still getting used to it also Maikel but it's nice to feel like Team Shadow now has it's own identity to the one I inherited from the works Subaru tem I inherited at the end of WGP season 1!!

Yeah, the nose was a pain! It's something I have noticed but I never quite got used to how the mapping on those supports line up. I have made it less noticable but decided I had come to good enough compromise. Your eye for detail is incredible Maikel lol! There's a couple more differences on the first two cars images as they use a beta livery ;)

Also, good job on the Snake livery! It remains one of the most beautiful creations we've seen

Very nice looking livery Team Shadow have. The nose section reminds me of Mclaren's livery. It is very much the same style. And I like how the paint has a glitter effect on parts of the car. @brunoboi, do you plan on getting a render done of the car?

Just thought I'd add this to the thread just to keep all the launches together, I forgot to ever post it initially.

Must give my compliments to Tom on the TSM, very nice, is certainly weird to see no dark blue and pink on the grid this year.

MPR - Season 8 - Launch Time!!!!!

We are back baby! After an incredible Season 7, MPR are back in the big league. Season 8 is now all about taking the fight to TSS and Aston Martin, anything other than that will be a disappointment.

We are very pleased to have retained our veteran team leader Charrel for another season, while we also welcome Jack and Gareth to the team.

It is also great to have Monil back at MPR. He first joined us in season 3, the year we took our first win so it is incredible to have that sort of experience on-board.

We certainly believe we have a top line-up for Season 8, that should deliver great things.

Lancia and Martini also stay on with us for what will be their 6th and 7th seasons respectively. Our bond with these two companies is as strng as ever and you can all fully expect to see MPR racing in the Martini stripes powered by Lancia for years to come.

We did unfortunately have to say goodbye to one of our long term partners over the off-season, and that was our tyre supplier Dunlop who we have been partnered with since Season 2. Our thanks go to Dunlop for all great times we have shared together.

While one relationship has come to an end, another is just beginning. MPR and Pirelli, the Italian tyre giant, new to the GPGSL for Season 8 have joined forces. We are really pleased to be working with Pirelli in what will be a new challenge for both of us. We hope to achieve a great deal of success together over the coming years.

Anyway, that's enough talking from us, let's officially launch MPR's challenger for Season 8, the MPR-7.







Special thanks go to Matteo Scala for these gorgeous renders, and to Maikel de Boer who painted this livery for Season 7, and updated it for us for Season 8.

A pleasure for me to render this car :-) Seems like today we have a multiple launch ;)

TSM with that grey-pink combo... I dunno, not my favourite. I simply can't see those two colors match. The design is great btw :-)

If there was, then Scuderia Minardi would be the winner. Still no sign of their livery yet.

Now that is a really nice looking helmet. How hard was it to put the tribal decals in the right places?

Scuderia Minardi is proud to announce...

"Eheheh you thought you had gotten rid of me because ScalaGP retired? ;) Ricardo is busy with some more pressing matters so I've been put in charge to launch this awesome car that was painted by Scala Designs."

"What's new in the VSM8?Nothing! It's the same chassis,the same engine,the same tyres...the same screws(*cough* because Ricardo won't pay for new ones *cough*)! But the paint is lighter thanks to a particular painting technique invented by Matteo Scala's dog. But apart from that, some sponsorships ended. Unicef stayed on board and has been joined by Hustler TV. As already said,Bridgestone will keep supplying their awesome tyres. Agip and Magneti Marelli will continue their partnership trough the new season and of course Motori Moderni will give us the most powerful engines they can give us!"

"Let's talk about the livery. The scheme is more or less the same used for S7, except many sponsors missing. Simple and easy, it took me 2 days to do. Also,following the boss's feedback, we adopted something new that can be seen by comparing the two liveries."

"The renders follow our rendering unit's standards for camera angle and lights."







In the end, a comment by Motori Moderni's most important engineer, Serji Tankian.
"The toxicity in our engine, in our engine! I don't always cry but when I do it's because our engines deserve to blow on the Kemmel Straight."
