GPGSL S10: Season over! Thank you and goodbye. See you in S11 ||v||

Maverick Track Performance invites to the Williars Ballroom to reveal the body and livery of their S11 contender
"Ladies and Gentlemen, first let me please express my gratitude that you took the time and travel to join us here at the beautiful Williars Ballroom for our first official car presentation. Next season will be a big deal for all the team. Both the team in and out of the car is excited to find out what we can do in our first real season. The technicians wanted this, the drivers wanted that and bundling this all into a strong package was a task, I can tell you.
Early in this process we decided to go with the offered Snake High-Nose shape, and hence against a common trend to the Low-Nose version. The reason for this is quite simple. Thanks to two great test seasons with AMR, we have some data about how the car handles with the rather high nose of the current shape version. Going for a completely different shape would have meant to start from scratch, while denying any progress and going with the old shape would have meant potentially losing out to teams who make this step. The High-Nose shape is a good compromise.
Livery-wise, there was a lot of change in the whole process. First we thought about staying with the current red. But it felt like a fresh start alongside the full entry and the team name change was in order. From there on, it was a lot of drawing, altering, presenting to the drivers, further altering, and so son. While we initially had the plan for different color-codes for race and test drivers, it was eventually decided that one color-code is best for the team's recognition, so the other colors were put in storage, potentially for future appearances.
Partners are an important aspect, especially for a new team like us! We already announced our partnership with Porsche a while ago, who seek for a way to prolong their GPGSL engagement after GGP's leave. For us, this was a quite fortunate situation since the VW company was pulling out Audi to work with other teams after our temporary swap to Aston Martin, who on the other hand have their own team and weren't interested to continue working with us, at least not in this season. Hence, an agreement with Porsche was quickly found.
Callier, the Swiss chocolate manufacturer, as well as Monster Energy stay with us as main sponsor, but are joined by Gillette. With those three strong partners, the team's future should be save for years coming. Another strong partner is webseitenundmehr.de, the new project of some of Kultfernsehen.de 's old staff. Dell and Maete Designs complete our partner portfolio, also as long-time partners of the past and hopefully into the future.
As with the past two seasons, we also extend our partnership with the Kinderhilfswerk e.V. who get the cockpit advertisement spot free of charge, since this is an important desire for the whole team.
Last but not least, we are happy to announce an extended partnership with Dunlop as our tyre supplier. The company has done stellar work for both AMR and HDR in the past years and we have a bunch of data with their tyres, so they really were the only logical decision for our premiere season.
Let's come to our drivers. We already announced them in a press statement, but of course a proper presentation should feature the fearless pilots that will drive our cars, hopefully successfully, around the world's circuits next year. We are glad that we could convince Matteo Scala to become our number one driver for next season. Granted, he had some performance issues this season which is probably what cost him the MPR seat. His loss is our luck, however. We believe in Matteo and we think it's ultra important to have one reliable and experienced driver as a leader in a new team. Thank you for your returned trust in us, Matteo.
Number two race driver will be Milos Ancevski. And I can only say it like this: Milos is an investment in the future. We expect big things from him! He gained some experience in the race series already and should know what he's doing as soon as he gets in our car. Milos was very eager to join our team and this eagerness is exactly what we need! So Milos, thank you as well and welcome to the team!
Admittedly, our number one test driver was a bit of a surprise to many, including myself. At first, it didn't look like Alessandro Sanvitale and MTP would fit together. But somehow it yet worked out and I must say, I'm glad to have another experienced driver with the team. That Alessandro returns to the test series instead of hunting for one of the free main series cockpits shows that he believes in this team, too. And we believe in him. Despite a season with many ups and downs, Alessandro has shown his potential in a few races and he will always be an option waiting for his chance. If one of the main drivers drops out for whatever reason, we know Alessandro will be ready.
For the record, Vimal Ana should also be mentioned here. Despite his recent penalty and exclusion from the series, which is of course very unfortunate, Vimal has expressed his interest to return next season and the status quo is that he will still race for Alpha next season on loan. If he manages to stay active then, Vimal is also a real option for a race seat with us at S12. There is competition and no driver is safe for a race seat next season. Everybody will have to show their best and then we will make decisions at appropriate times. But honestly, being in the luxurious situation of having so many talented drivers with us in our first and second season is sheer luck for a new team like us!
Now I really talked long enough and it's time to reveal what you guys actually came here for! Ladies and gentlemen, the MTPGP 01 HN!"

Don't know, the colour combination surely adds some variety to the grid. The design looks kind of odd though, in my opinion. Not sure what exactly it is that gives me this impression :/
Also logos, too much and too big MTP, and that Dunlop one is from the 70s I think?
All personal opinion, don't hate on me
Some mods

The rear wing flags leave a bit to be desired, perhaps a bit on the logo placements too but I'm not as sure.
Fresh design, interesting colours, should be good.

Where's all the blue?!?!
Nice livery though, very crisp

That's a nice one and for sure we won't confuse it with one of the other twenty blue cars on the grid next season
As Tobi I would say MTP logo is too big and there's something wrong in the design due to the cut parts of the sidepods on the template, and I know how hard it can be to have them right. As for the flags I would put them 'flat' instead of 'waving', and I would change the font number and maybe its colour, but that's more a personal taste.
Pretty good car anyway, good job.

I like it a lot. I do agree though with the flags in the back wing, I mean not the flags themselves but the numbers on top. They kinda get invisible while being inside the flag. Otherwise, it's seriously cool, and that colour combination is not something you see every day. Especially that bright green, most racers use British Racing Green.
It's a 9.8/10 for me, tweak the numbers on the flags and I'll promptly throw a 10. Kudos John.
Stats: 139 Starts / 7 Wins / 9 Poles / 5 Fastest laps

Liking the MTP livery. And I'm suprised that they chose to use the HN version instead of the LN version. Will be looking forward to seeing it in action next season.
That car looks like a serious contender. Nice work on the livery!

The cars looks awesome! Fresh design, still I agree with the most of the comments.. small tweak would make it even better!
My internet in Thailand is pretty good, so no need for the holiday service it seems
Can't wait to get back racing, did some racing practice in the mountains here + been driving on an elephant.
Race starts: 141 | Points: 886 | Podiums: 35 | Race wins: 10

* No problem boss... our car is light blue isn't it... so it will stand out all the rest of the blue cars on the grid.
* Sorry to hear your health isn't 100%... take good care of yourself boss... we sure need you next season.
