More than halfway through the F1 grid now!
Williams is now the 6th team I've completed, the other 4 can be found here: ( Mercedes | Red Bull | Alfa Romeo | AlphaTauri | Alpine )
This set includes Nicholas Latifi's #6, and Alex Albon's #23
As I've said in the rest, I have every intention of finishing the whole grid in the coming weeks. All 20+ will be included in that release; along with some testing or reserve drivers, and maybe some bonus alternate schemes. Haas actually won't be last now, with the announcement of Kevin Magnussen and a new livery debuting at today's Bahrain test. Release order is otherwise dictated by what manufacturer templates have been released by other community members up to this point. I think I've decided to use some of the standard Nascar manufacturers with edited branding decals for teams like Aston Martin, Ferrari, and McLaren, as I'm not familiar with how to create some of the manufacturer templates in good detail, and I'd like to have the set completed before the Bahrain GP next weekend.
I've currently planned to do Chevrolet or Mercedes for the McLaren. Mercedes is their F1 Power Unit supplier, and Chevy is their IndyCar supplier, so I feel good about both.
For Haas I'm planning to do Ford, as it's Stewart-Haas's supplier in Nascar, as their isn't a Ferrari template as of now, and my attempts at making one haven't gone well so far.
Aston Martin is still up in the air, there is a template available but the nose is quite different from the rest, so I may do some more research and find another manufacturer for them.
Ferrari is probably the biggest question mark for me. It would feel a little silly to put a Ferrari livery on another brand of car truth be told, but I believe they've used Toyotas in other racing series per very limited research, so I would probably just slap it on a Toyota at the moment, perhaps with the badge replaced.
If anyone would have any suggestions on how to do any of the final 4 teams, I'm absolutely open to suggestions, as especially with 3 of them being car manufacturers, I'm in a bit of a weird spot as to what body to put them on.
Anyways as always, I replaced the usual Nascar branding with F1 logos (Cup Series decal, Nascar Race Car decal, Goodyear branding). I've included versions of both cars with the usual Nascar branding still in tact though, in case anyone wants to plug these cars in to their own sim seasons at some point. There's an image attached that compares the two versions.
The schemes on these cars are my recreation of the 2022 Williams livery. Truthfully I'm not a massive fan of the actual F1 livery, and painting it was a bit of a challenge as the numbers are quite simple, and their isn't much in the way of logos or design on the car to occupy the dead space. I tried to remain faithful to that, spicing up the numbers just a bit to make it more Nascar-esque. I'm definitely open to feedback on this design, especially around the hood, as I wouldn't be opposed to revisiting the design before I release the complete set.
