Red Bull ‘Miami’ Ferrari 296 GT3 || ACC Custom Livery

Another one for the flood of 296 liveries I’ve been commissioned to make recently! After the Orion, the Nezzo Racing, Nowell, and 543 Ferrari 296 GT3 liveries, it’s now time to reveal my newest: the Red Bull Miami livery! This was a one-off livery Red Bull used on their cars for the Miami Grand Prix which was chosen for a competition, as seen below. The final result can be seen in the video above or the screenshots below. Do you want to download and use the final livery? Feel free...

Nowell Ferrari 296 GT3 || ACC Custom Livery

Back when I published the Nezzo Racing and 543 Ferrari 296 GT3 liveries, I stated I was being flooded by requests for the 296. This one was part of that flood. And while neither of those commissions was easy, this one was by far the hardest in terms of complexity. The original commission asked for a ‘Unicorns of Love’-like design (pictured below) but with white and grey on black. I was unfamiliar with the Unicorns of Love liveries, but after looking them up I didn’t like what I saw. Not...

543 Ferrari 296 GT3 || ACC Custom Livery

A couple of posts ago, I wrote about how many commissions I was getting for the Ferrari 296 GT3. This, well, this is one of those. All the way from New Zealand, I was approached by the owner of 543.co.nz to make a livery based on the design philosophy of his internet/web-development startup. An interesting challenge, allowing for a lot of creativity on my part. Besides the logo, I was able to sneak in a couple of references. Most notably, the white stripes on the front and rear fenders of...

Orion Ferrari 296, 488 GT3 & Challenge || ACC Custom Livery Commission

And now for something a little different. Not a post for one livery which had been commissioned. Not two. No, three. Three cars, all of them Ferrari’s, and all of them made for Orion. Actually, the original commission is for four cars. But the Maserati MC20 GT2 isn’t out yet. Orion wanted a black and red livery, inspired by Sean Bull’s fantasy Porsche F1 livery, mixed in with his own logo and a few brands of his own choice. Inspired by Sean’s work, someone I (as an amateur livery designer)...

5 new and upcoming sportscars which deserve future GT3 versions

Group GT3 is a set of regulations created by the FIA for converted road cars to be used in various national and international racing series. Such as the SRO GT World Challenge, the ADAC GT Masters, or (as of 2021) DTM. Since its introduction in 2005, group GT3 has seen 52 homologations, while some GT3 spec cars without homologation are allowed to participate in some GT3 series. GT3’s homologation strategy ensures a low development cost for manufacturers, meaning it is an attractive option to many brands to market themselves to...

Blancpain at Zandvoort: report, gallery and aftermovie.

On the weekend of the 12th to 14th of July (2019), the Blancpain travelling circus hit Zandvoort. Since I’ve been heavily investing my time in Assetto Corsa Competizione (which features the official Blancpain licensed cars) I thought it would be nice to visit a real race for once. I’ve visited Zandvoort once before, but I had never watched a race, never felt the roar of the engines pass through my stomach. All that changed on sunday the 14th of July. See/read below for my experiences! Lamborghini Supertrofeo Together with a...

Design: Ferrari 488 GT3

Playing Assetto Corsa Competizione has given me inspiration to convert some of the cars into artwork, starting with Ferrari’s aggressive looking 488 GT3. I’ve uploaded the design to Redbubble, mainly because I myself am going to the Blancpain GT3 races at Zandvoort the 14th of July, and I wanted to wear a shirt based on this design. If you fancy this design yourself, feel free to click on the link below! Ferrari 488 GT3 Racing on Redbubble The shirt has arrived, and it is looking mighty good, Excuse the crappy...

Design: Gilles Villeneuve’s 1980 helmet

There are hardly more tragic stories than that of Gilles Villeneuve. The Canadian driver drove his first race in 1977 for McLaren, but was picked up by Ferrari for the final two races of the 1977 season. He won his first race in the following 1978 season at his home grand prix. He came close to winning the 1979 championship, but was plagued with problems in the ’80 and ’81 seasons. Then, finally, Ferrari seemed to have built a title challenger for the 1982 season.  After two retirements, Villeneuve came...

Design: Michael Schumacher’s 1994 Helmet (+extra)

Michael Schumacher was, and always will be, my hero. I was born in 1991, the year he made his debut. One of my first memories is watching him drive Formula 1 in 1994 and winning the title that year. I had a slot car set by Carrera which came with a poster of him on the podium in the 1993 season which had been on my bedroom door for about 15 years until it finally collapsed. Schumacher went on to win a record seven World Driver Championships: two with Benneton...
