West McLaren F1 720S GT3 Evo || ACC Custom Livery
In the past, I was commissioned to make two liveries based on the West McLarens of the late 90s and early 00s. The only problem was: neither of those was for a McLaren. Namely, a West McLaren Aston Martin and a West McLaren Porsche. When you make liveries on commission, you often can’t choose which cars you put which liveries on. This means I had to make these two liveries, which were pretty much equivalent to blasphemy to me! Fortunately for me and my OCDs, the person who originally requested...
Reuter Motorsport Porsche 992 GT3 R || ACC Custom Livery
Some cars are easier to work on than others. You’ve heard me complain about the Ferrari before. However, let me just praise the Porsche 992 GT3 R. Not only is it simple to work with, there are also many ways to make it look good. One of the ways to make it look good is the one showcased today, or at least, that is my opinion. Today’s commission comes from Germany, in which I was requested to combine the Porsche 992 with a pattern similar to the 2019 McLaren F1...
TAG Heuer Vodafone McLaren 720s GT3 Evo || ACC Custom Livery
In season 7 and 8 of Formula E, Porsche raced a very, very good-looking livery. Unfortunately, they have now traded in this livery for something I think is a lot less visually pleasing. I love this older livery so much, I made the 2021 and 2022 versions for the Porsche 991 II GT3 R. And I was not the only one who liked it. When the new Porsche 992 GT3 R was added to the game, I got commissioned to convert this livery to the new car. Converting a Porsche...
Wesett Racing Mercedes AMG GT3 2020 || ACC Custom Livery
I love working on liveries which are not the Ferrari 296. So when I was contacted by Wesett Racing to give their Mercedes livery a refreshing new look, I jumped at the opportunity. Wesett Racing’s (at the time) current Mercedes livery was a pretty straightforward one, featuring a gradient from front to back in two shades of purple, some logos, and a few white details. As seen in the picture on the right. My challenge was to incorporate their sponsor’s color (pinkish red) with their purple color, without any gradients....
ERAU McLaren 720s GT3 Evo || ACC Custom Livery
Earlier this year (March, to be exact), I was contacted to make a livery for the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) eSports team. At the time, I made a livery for the 488 GT3 Evo which they were driving a competition with, as seen below. It seems I’ve done a good enough job to warrant a second go at a livery for them, as I was now asked to make another. The victim this time? The McLaren 720S GT3 Evo. For this new design, I took a lot of cues from...
ACC player counts in review: June & July 2023
Even though I try to post my monthly review of Assetto Corsa Competizione’s (ACC) player statistics each month as soon as the month is done with, there’s always that pesky summer holiday. A summer holiday that often forces me to skip a month, only to bundle it with the next month’s review. So to for this June, which I spent in a blistering hot Mexico. As for heat: traditionally it puts a damper on ACC’s player statistics. By the end of July 2021, ACC had lost 30% of its daily...
Squadron 324 Mercedes AMG GT3 2020 || ACC Custom Livery
I’ve been making ACC liveries for commissions for about a year now. In that time I have had a lot of different requests, from all over the world. I’ve done well over 30 commissions by now. But never did I receive a commission from my home country, the Netherlands. Until now! I was contacted by Davey of Deef Media, a freelance writer specializing in motorsports who has written for sportscar365 and autosport. He’s also captain of his own simracing outfit, Squadron 324. They operate mainly in iRacing, but are apparently...
Tyrrell 009 ‘Candy’ (F1 1979) || ACC Custom Livery
I’ve talked about my pallate cleansers before. Liveries I make in between (or while) making commissions. Liveries which are easy to make and don’t require too much brainpower or creative imagination, so that I keep myself motivated while heading into roadblocks when doing the big stuff. Classic liveries are great for that purpose, because back then they did not have computers to create advanced vinyl designs. The liveries mostly had 1 big sponsor, a simple design with some shapes, and then some smaller logos. So too the 1979 Tyrrell 009,...
Triple Crown Ferrari 296 GT3 || ACC Custom Livery
McLaren has been releasing some great limited-use liveries. This year, McLaren released a special livery for the Monaco and Spanish Grand Prix’ titled ‘Triple Crown’, which featured nods to their rich historical achievements in F1, Le Mans, and the Indy 500. The livery, as seen below, was also the inspiration for the person who requested my next commission! The person who requested the commission wanted a livery that came close to the car pictured above. They did give me the liberty to fiddle about and make something that fits the...
Lotus 99T Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2 || ACC Custom Livery
Lotus. A legendary name in Formula 1. In the many decades the team took part in F1, it had many iconic liveries. One of the most iconic ones perhaps was the John Player Special livery; a black livery with gold sponsors and accents. As you can probably tell, this one isn’t that. No, this livery is based on the livery which replaced the JPS livery: the yellow Camel liveries which the team used from 1987 to 1990. Starting with the Lotus 99T. The Lotus 99T was the final Lotus driven...
