This gallery for FM7 has been a long time coming, I should have started it a while ago!
I’ve been playing Forza on and off since FM3 days, and I particularly like the Horizon series. I only started livery design in earnest with FH3 at the end of 2016, so I’m very much a new boy here.
Many of my designs are replicas, initially mostly Subaru rallycross liveries, but due to getting various requests when I was more active on FH3 (a shout out to Scooby Collins, JaCor653 and SoulBuffalo8 in particular), I added replicas of press liveries and other race cars. You will also find many of the logos shared as well.
Many here are FH3 imports and there are some new for FM7 liveries (although if the car was also available for FH3 I tend to design there and then bring it into FM7) as well as odd ones that attracted my attention.
I have been submitting them into the weekly livery contests, and awards for FM7 and FH3 are indicated below where appropriate. They are loosely grouped by manufacturer or event.
Initially, there are more than shown here, as the first batch will be those from the livery contests. However, I will try to add in the others in time.
Brought over from FH3, here is Turn10 Software Engineer Phil Bergman’s Impreza (see Heavy Metal Affliction), This one includes the “Speeding Kills Bears” bumper sticker!
There is a matching tune also called “Phil Bergman” which changes the wheels and tyres to more nearly match the original.
Car: 1998 Subaru Impreza 22B STI - File name: Phil Bergman
These are the 2013 Subaru Puma Rallycross Team U.S.A. liveries. The three team members were Bucky Lasek (orange and grey car #81), Sverre Isachsen (lime yellow and blue car #11) and the late Dave Mirra (yellow and black #40). These all had the Puma Zombie Cat logo on the sides, along with different versions of the skull on the roof (Lasek’s had a flat brimmed hat and long hair, like him!), Isachsen had a Viking helmet, and Mirra had the flat brimmed hat without the long hair (at least I think so, as the source photos don’t show it quite as clearly).
The TT Attack car that Mark Higgins used to set the Isle of Man TT car track record in 2016.
There is a matching tune (also called TT Attack 2016) which ups the power, adds the front and rear wings and increases the tyre sizes and specs.
I have made the livery so it works both with the standard rear wing as well as the modified one (which more closely corresponds with Higgins’ actual car).
These are the 2015 Subaru Rallycross Team U.S.A. liveries. Sverre Isachsen’s is the blue and white over grey car #11 and Bucky Lasek’s is the orange and white over grey car #81.
Car: 2016 Subaru #199 WRX STI VT15r Rally Car - File name: GRC 2015 #11
The David Higgins 2013 Subaru Rallycross Team U.S.A. #75 car that he used in the 2013 Los Angeles X Games in the Gymkhana Grid event.
There is a matching tune called “Puma GRC” which will up the power, and add the front spoiler and roof vent along with the nearest wheels I could find to the Method Wheels that Vermont SportsCar use. I left the standard rear spoiler as I think it looks better, but you can replace it with the big spoiler as I have built into the liveries the graphics for both the standard spoiler and the optional one.
The press livery for the 2017 Camaro when they announced it for the Nascar Xfinity Series. There is a matching tune also called “Camaro 2017” which more closely matches the tune and trim of the original.
Car: 2016 Chevrolet Camaro Super Sport - File name: Camaro 2017
Malcolm Wilson’s 1995 Network Q Rally Michelin Pilot Ford Escort Cosworth. There is a matching tune also called “Malcolm Wilson” which changes the wheels and bodywork to be more like the original. It is also available on the Forza Edition car.
Car: 1992 Ford Escort RS Cosworth - File name: Malcolm Wilson
The historic racing Cortina of British Touring Car Championship driver Andrew Jordan and his father Mike. There is a matching tune also called “Jordan Cortina” which more closely matches the tune and trim of the original.
Car: 1966 Ford Lotus Cortina - File name: Jordan Cortina
The Mk1 Ford Escort as run by John Taylor for Haynes of Maidstone in the European Rallycross Championship back in the 1970s. There is a matching tune also called “John Taylor Mk1” which changes the wheels and tyres and deletes the front and rear bumpers like the original.
Car: 1973 Ford Escort RS1600 - File name: John Taylor Mk1
The Mk2 Ford Escort as used by 1970s rallycross star John Taylor on the Lombard RAC Rally 1979 with Phil Short co-driving. There is a matching tune also called “John Taylor Mk2” which changes the wheels to be like the original. Would love some forest arches for the Mk2!
Car: 1977 Ford Escort RS1800 - File name: John Taylor Mk2
The Brown & Geeson historic racing Ford Escort Mk1. There is a matching tune also called “B&G Mk1” which just changes the wheels to be a bit more like the original.
The Brown & Geeson historic racing Ford Escort Mk2 (the Hoonigan car is the closest match to the original, large Zakspeed style arches). There is a matching tune also called “B&G Mk2” which just changes the wheels to be a bit more like the original.
To celebrate 150,000 downloads in FH3 (not sure how many in FM7), here’s a gold star as my interpretation of a Ford Heritage version of the No 5 car that came third in the 1966 Le Mans in Ford’s 1-2-3.
The Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 press livery. There is a matching tune also called “Nissan GT-R GT3” which changes the wheels and tyres and adds the spoiler to more nearly match the original.
This is Leo Geoghegan/Peter Brown’s Chrysler VH Valiant Charger that finished second in class D in the 1971 Hardie-Ferodo 500 at Mount Panorama and now at the National Motor Museum at Birdwood in South Australia.
The press livery for the Mazda MX-5 Cup. There is a matching tune also called “Mazda MX-5 Cup” which more closely matches the tune and trim of the original.
This Ram was a promotional giveaway by Yokohama Tire in 2017 after going on a tour with Travis Pastrana’s Nitro Circus, it was prepared by AEV. There is a matching tune also called “Yokohama Ram” which changes the wheels to be more like the original and gives it a homologated tune.
A quick one before Horizon 4 comes out, especially as it doesn’t look as though this model will be in it.
This is the Levi’s BMW CSL (Chassis: 2211352), Driver: Karl Gustav Almstrom at the 2016 Monterey Motorsports Reunion. There is a matching tune, “Levi’s BMW”, but this just adds the BBS E55 wheels to more closely match the original.
For other painters, both wings can be painted, they are just well off plot. The centre of the top wing is at -182.50, -481.50, and the back wing is at 172.00, 471.00.
Car: 1975 BMW #25 BMW Motorsport 3.0 CSL - File Name: Levi’s BMW
Didn’t you make a '66 Heritage Ford GT as well? I’m having a hard time finding a good one in FM7, and I suspect FH4 will be the same. Every single one I find is either solid white or grey stripes, never metallic. Would you consider transferring it to FM7 and FH4?
Yes, I did. It’s called “Turn10 Ford GT”. It’s been shared in FM7 since 7 Oct 2017. The stripes are metal flake silver. It wasn’t in the list above as I hadn’t put it in for a contest. If you download it it’ll increase the downloads by 25%
FM7 isn’t as good as FH3 for metal flake, it always looks a bit dull, so I’ve just shared a new version with the same shades in two-tone polished called “Heritage #2” which you may find looks better.
Of course I didn’t find it. I was putting “Heritage” in the search, lol.
Many thanks for the new version, it really does look better. There’s a minor mistake, easily fixable: the rear spoiler is not painted in black like the body.
Thanks, man! I’m not even a painter and I also don’t like the light in the garage. Chrome wheels tend to look really bad, and some deep wheels like the BBS RS Turbofan appear pitch black. I used to think it was a bug until I ran a car with these.
The flakes in the metallic paint have been toned down way too much in transition from FH3 to FM7. The two-tone paint has more presence.
