Hi all. There's probably not going to be too much here, but I got the green light to post what I have so I would like to share with you all. So just to get this out of the way, I'm a big anime nerd and I love Sailor Moon (Not my favorite show or anime, that spot goes to Digimon. :coldsweat:). Anyways, in the series, Haruka Tenou/Sailor Uranus, is an absolute beast behind the wheel, she can easily run circles around the competition in pretty much anything she drives. One episode had her dominating a motocross race. So during lockdown, I was playing NASCAR Thunder 2004 on my emulator since my old PS2 is in storage and doing the career mode with Haruka as my driver. (Obviously unable to change the driver model and all.) And I went on a pretty good tear, winning 9 races as well as the All Star with a subpar car and taking the championship in a close five way battle at Homestead with Stewart, Jarrett, Jr. and Rudd. And after that was all done,I wanted to see Haruka and the car I imagined in my head brought to life.

So, first things first, I went to an artist whom I commissioned many times in the past, the wonderful MajoShoujo, a brilliant Argentinian artist who basically can perfectly capture Sailor Moon and Digimon's art styles. https://www.deviantart.com/majoshoujo. One quick commission and I got Haruka's most dominant win at Richmond where she led over 330 laps.

(The watermark is always at her request; she's had some work stolen in the past so now she keeps watermarking her public posts to keep them from being stolen. This obviously I feel almost no one on the internet would want to steal and claim credit for but better safe than sorry. I obviously have the unwatermarked version.)

Then there was the car itself. For some reason, you only had a limited number of numbers to chose from with the car that wasn't three digits so I drove the 86 car through the career mode. But I really wanted it to be 93, the year Haruka first appeared in the manga. So I went to Twitter, and got the great SplashNgoGraphics https://twitter.com/sng_graphics to make the car. One thing that I thought was an awesome plus that must be made was Uranus' World Shaking attack.

and combine it with my sponsors that I was using in the game. In the end, he did a wonderful job and pretty much nailed what I was imagining. (BTW, if anyone wants to use the car, PM me.)

Anyways, I just show off a piece of my imagination here and hope you all enjoy. And please go check out Majo and Splash for their other work, they both did brilliant jobs and I'm truly grateful to their work.

Finally updated this place. Went out of my way to make mod Davey's 1992 car and turning it into a Winston West car to race the companion races for 1994. Credit to @psugorilla for his original work on the 92 car and especially thanks to @CamoDesigns for giving me a huge hand in designing the modifications.
