[RACE] MadScientist 781 Classic Race Liveries

First off, I’d like to thank everyone else for sharing their awesome designs. If you haven’t done it, it is hard to fathom the amount of work that goes it painstakingly recreating a just a manufacturer decal from nothing. I didn’t even bother counting the hours spent finding good reference material to get accurate HSL values and measuring proportions. The custom work by some of the painters is truly cool, given that I lack the creative skills to come up with a great design with no reference.

As of now the liveries that I’ve duplicated as well the the painting system and my limited skills are:

1962 Ferrari 250 GTO - Matches the livery worn by the #19 250 GTO of Pierre Noblet and Jean Guichet to1st place in the GT3.0 class and 2nd place overall in the 1962 24h of Le Mans.

1965 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C - Matches the livery worn by the #91 Essex Wire Cobra driven by Dick Thompson and Ed Lowther to a 3rd place finish in the 1965 Road America 500. The livery on this car isn’t always consistent between races and I used a text style on the door from a slightly different livery that I liked a bit more.

1985 Ford RS 200 Evolution - Wears the livery from the 1986 RAC Rally, the very last Group B race the car was entered in, even though the event was a DNF for the RS 200. Driven by Stig Blomqvist with Co-driver Bruno Berglund.

I’ve got a 1967 Ferrari 330 P4 in the works and I’d like to do a 1967 or 1970 Corvette after that. I’d be willing to take some requests of classic race cars, if I can get sufficient source material and the model allows reasonably accurate placement.

Nice vintage liveries mate, keep up the great work. It’s good to see someone else who appreciates the classics.

Wrapped up the 67 330 P4 tonight. Used the livery from the last race of chassis #0856, the only P4 that still wears its original body. This chassis placed 1st at Monza 1000 (as #3), 2nd at Daytona 24h (as #24), and 5th at Brands Hatch 6hr (as #7). The livery used is that of the last race, thought the car was changed to a Spider configuration by that time.

Was going to do a 'Vette buy got hung up on another Ford…

1965 Ford Mustang GT coupe in the current livery of the Mustang campaigned by John McComb in 66-67. The car’s best finish is a win at the 6h Green Valley in 1966.
