Just.Not.Possible

And yes, it's okay to criticism a livery with the intent of help the painter to improve it. Obviously.
The concern I had was not to discourage him from painting with comments that sounded a bit harsh, even if it wasn't the purpose.

I am sure there will be criticism of the new DMR livery. And i am fairly sure that criticism won't be anything that hasn't been said internally at DMR between the 4 of us that have seen the livery.......

Maverick S11 Helmet Presentation

Short and simple: After the anniversary chocolate design, I felt for something less distinct and more fitting to the new car, hence I got the designers on the desks to come up with the following S11 design.








I hope it will yet leave a marker when I try to make an impact in the test series.


We'll also use this chance to show the next evolution of the car design. It's only minor changes but we listened to the criticism that was brought up during our first presentation.

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

Definitely looks better without the MTP logos on the rearwing. Still I wouldn't put anything on the lower plate, but rather have it on the back then (if there's still some space, at least in the previous render there was).
The flag doesn't fit at all, imo. I'd suggest a bit of combination of your previous design, and the current one. Means black enplate with the flag on the top part, and the number in the bottom corner instead of on the flag.
The MTP logo on the side of the nosecone, have you tried it on the top side, bottom end, smaller scale?
The green logo on the bottom end of the nosecone is barely recognizable, imo.
Porsche emblems, I'd remove the two on the frontwing flaps, and make the one on the nosecone a bit smaller.
Have you tried black outlines for the number on the nose? To have a better distinction between the green stripe and the white of the number (keeping the black circle around them).
Similar for the Gillette logo above, maybe white outlines to increase visibility on the stripe?
Still not sure about that Dunlop logo on the front wing endplate being from the 70s?


To make it clear this time, this is supposed to be constructive criticism




Also, there were liveries I liked: All the Christel ones, most Snake ones, TNR S8, AMR before yellow, VSM S9, MAC S10, the blue Shadows, ART S7, SCR S5, ...

Who else wants Tobi to criticise liveries with Gordon Ramsay memes?

Finishing my new helmet, looks much better, but looking at this, I'm gonna be thrashed

Just to say I really don't agree with Tobi's criticism, the car looks fine.


Okay, so now here is the team launch of Mistral's blue car. With its new line up.



Let's go for a bash by Tobi.


We're ready !

@Tobi
I sort of agree with the numbers, however black outlines around the number don't work because of the black outline next to the green stripe. The different size of a one compared to an 8 or 9 makes it difficult in this design, but it's such a minor detail that won't really be visible in race coverages that I really don't care about it.
The 70s Dunlop logo that you so dislike: Have you noticed that I already had it on the S10 (for sure) and possibly on the S9 car (not sure)? In the end, who cares if it's from the 70s? I like it, it's fancy and it's gonna stay there no matter how much you dislike it!
The rest is totally about personal taste. I like more logos on a car and I also like them on spots where others might not have any. The criticism is accepted but there won't be any further changes, since one person likes one design, another one likes another and I like it like this.

@Carlos
Honestly, mate, I love your helmet design! In fact, your design was an early influence to mine, but I appreciate the compliment.

@Eric
Love the design, buddy! Very ... inspirational! The only thing I'd be worried about is aerodynamics. Looks a bit ... edged.


GPGSL : Team Owner of 'Maverick Track Performance' (MTP)

@Carlos
Your helmet design is slick, always liked it.


@Eric
Car looks questionable aerodynamics wise, retro paintjob from what I can recognize though. Like that.

Driver line-up is epic.



@John
Not quite sure if I got that explanation for the black outline
It's not that I don't like the old Dunlop logo, I was just wondering if there was a particular reason for using it, especially since the one on the sidepod seems to be the current one.

Simply put, black outlines on the numbers look even worse. And the reason for the Dunlop logo is: I like it

Dropping in just to repost the (stillborn) Pulsar liveries for attention





Good liveries on the whole so far, although I agree with some of Tobi's points; ultimately, it basically boils down to your a) preferences and b) graphic design skills. Would definitely agree that the SCR has too much white, and that using the dark blue with some more sparing use of white and red can be pretty effective.

Still a shame that this Pulsar car never made it to the grid.


GPGSL : Team Owner of 'Maverick Track Performance' (MTP)

LOL I'm actually flattered you guys like it considering the basic design was made in MS Paint around late 2011. I took a graphic design course last year and I'm applying that knowledge now while keeping track of that design. Luckily, if you guys don't like it, I can go back, since I keep copies of many of my helmets.

Loving the liveries so far. Ruben, how dare you post the GGP, will miss that old school insanely gorgeous thing. And the Pulsar looks fantastic, that light blue really makes the car look cool.

Too much red for my taste, would have liked to see some more blue. And I'd have preferred it with more teasing, maybe something vague like "early February". Plus there's the usual complaint of too many sponsors. It has potential though.
