Yep - I got the feeling in the practice race that reverse grids would work OK in these cars.

Not wrong about the similarities.  Not just physics, they have the same body with just different lights and front grill!
I reckon one skin would almost work with any of them . . :)

The links for the track pack on the signup site schedules page just links to the homepage, not the track pack. ;)

Yeah, the track pack link is only in the sign-up post. I wanted to avoid people accidentally downloading the whole pack multiple times.

I dont . . . You can grab a template from any car using the following method.



If you stuck, tell me which car and I will do it for you.

I think I did it in a similar way. Click on the glass in showroom, then save it as glasssext.dds

I attached mine....

You can do wheels to in the same way.    Rims.dds

thanks mate, I must be doing something wrong as I keep getting the reflective glass when ever I try to save or the writing is so opaque that you can't read it

From memory when saving the file in Photoshop I used a different DDS format, maybe No Alpha, can't recall. But my graphics on glass aren't perfect either.

thanks mate, I'm still struggling as I can't find any of the settings making much of a difference to the glass when saving as a DDS file to be honest.... :-[
