You demonstrating how much downforce the car's got Jeff? Running on the roof of a tunnel what!

Do you not see it?  :P

If you're after smiley faces why not just run an MX5 championship :P

I'm in :)

I'm definitely in.

Skin: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/maserati-mc12-gt1-no15-jmb-red-bull.19034/

i am in

I'm expecting a major hangover on Sat, so will hopefully make a skin while immobile...
Just trying to come up with ideas while my brain is still functional  ;D

Here are some skins or maybe inspiration: https://gitracing.jimdo.com/downloads/skins/maserati-mc12-gt1/

Don't know how many races I'll be able to join, so I won't reserve a skin before the start of the chamonship. If nobody will choose the Martini livery I'll go with that :)

Same for me.  :)
 My skin will be AF Corse 34 . Link : https://www.dropbox.com/s/h0kpqa9a6aq0rz4/34_2004_AF_CORSE.rar?dl=0
Any setup hit's and  tricks, guys? Default set is so nervous...

Well, I thought I'd escaped the Waza's. But what with the first round being Suzuka and everything SHE found out.

Thanks to the Waza legal team and a shady character called Shun with a very sharp Katana, I'm now driving for them again in the newly combined (Don't ask about the original owners) Hiki Masser race team in the brand new Waserati ::)

Edit: Link updated to the new #42 car as I didn't like the green on the 43 above

Or in this case, the Waselati  :ninja:

WoW FMG! What amazing  skin! Exellent art work ! Red and white zones are so successfully separated so, i want to have some sex with my own skin !!!  ;D
So, can i use this red\white zones art ? I'll change it to white\ deep blue .  If ok, can you pm me a skin psd project ( photoshop?)   ;)
UPD. You guys just look how FMG skin looks in pitlane! Best MC12 skin i ever seen  :)

Glad you like it - I'm still not happy with it tbh.
It looks really good from the rear 3/4s and back, but the front isn't quite right.
The greens came out too light for one thing, but as this season was starting so soon I didn't have the time to finish it to my own satisfaction.

I'll have to use Dropbox to send you the PSD, the file is way too big for email. I'll try and remember when I get back from work today.

You can still work on it, will release the skinpack Wednesday and can update it when you have an updated version.

Thank you ! I'll wait for link!  :)

I may just do that then. I'll leave this one alone for incase I can't finish and will build a #42 sister car to see if the improvements work. In theory I should be able to knock the improvements out fairly quickly tonight as it's mostly just colour changes. Depends if I try to improve the nose or not..

Hi Jeff!
MC12 Championship looks very attractive!
Unfortunately Wednesdays evenings are often busy for me, but next one I will be most probably available, so if it's ok for you I'd like to join the race on 25th and maybe other ones very randomly ... (for sure I won't be on 9th May)...

Cheers
Alberto

I can put you on the list anyway, there is plenty of space, but if you don't attend you will get a DNF in your racing history. Not that that matters, but maybe you like to keep your stats clean  :). So let me know if you want on the list, or you will give a shout out in the thread of the race that you will join. Or, if you don't mind what skin you will have, you can just join anyway and you will get a random skin.

Yes, i'm in.

People dont seem to have been too creative with MC12 skins, I'll take a Vitaphone skin.

It's ok to join race by race through the thread, also random skin is ok for me ...

Thank you!

Sign me up. I won’t have time to even try this car before the night so watch out!

guess i'll sign up though not too enamoured with my first taste of the car this eve.  :-\ Nice easy first track to get to grips with it too  :P :laugh:

i'll take the Momo car from your skin link Jeff, ta.

I've re-worked the Greens to a more subdued shade that's more in keeping with the design.
I trialled totally re-working the nose but didn't like the result on track when racing next to the new #42, a shame as it generally looked better in the showrooms.

Link can be found below:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/vl6x2xjcdewwa45/HikiMazzer_Racing_42.rar?dl=0 (https://www.dropbox.com/s/vl6x2xjcdewwa45/HikiMazzer_Racing_42.rar?dl=0)

I've also updated my first link to save confusion :)
If for some odd reason someone should want the old #43 then shout and I'll re-upload it (I've changed the naming and directory due to having 2 HikiMazzer cars now).
Be very wary of driving it though as Mrs Fujikawa does not loose drivers willingly through events other than nasty accidents ;)

Then I'll not add you to the entry list and you can join whenever you want :).


What else is new  :P


The Lotus and 599 surprised you in the end, so fingers crossed for this one then ;).

The link to the red Momo car, which I think you mean, doesn't work. Maybe you can find it somewhere else, or pick another please.


Link changed.

Hi guys. Jeff, please, replace my skin. Number 67 Deep Blue. Great thanks to FMG for help with dual coloring!  :thumbup1:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/n1pe44vrpliv3mc/67_Deep_Blue.rar?dl=0

Link is changed.

Everybody with a skin will be on the entry list as normal, everybody that didn't pick one won't be on the list, so they will get one assigned randomly every time.

Jeff, isn't the momo skin in the skinpack?

ie  https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/maserati-mc12-gt1-skinpack.136552/#post-2492138

if not in there i'll have the light blue/orange Gulf car (ye olde Legends team)  :)

That skinpack doesn't have the red Momo skin, based on the screenshots.

I've assigned the Gulf skin to you.

Skinpack has been released, download link in the opening post.

I would like to be in the list for this series, as usual work will decide how many I can do.

Can i be in the Martini skin next race please? If no one else is using it.

Uhm, as you can see in the opening post, Manteos has that skin  :P. There is currently limited variation in skins, so I'll also assign the Martini skin to you, as there were too many Vitaphone skins around. :)

Can anyone edit my skin to make the sun visor more transparent ? It’s a solid black bar on the gulf car so makes it like looking out of a bunker slit  :(

Just copy and paste  file EXT_Windows_Black.dds  from any default MC12 skin  to your skin folder  :)

Thanks Alexey, will give that a try  :)

Just seen this posted on facebook...

FIA GT in the 2000s was dominated by the Maserati MC12, and one man in particular shined in this beautiful Italian machine. World champion racer Andrea Bertolini shares his story of the most successful GT1 of its era in our newest Retro GT

https://www.gt-report.com/2018/04/22/retro-gt-the-undefeatable-maserati-mc12/

Nice read, oddly enough the MC12 was one of the worst GT1 cars in GTR2  :)

i've downloaded a sound mod for it from RD, but will try it before advising anyone to grab it. I thought the externals sounded terrible at the race start, though it doesn't sound too bad in-car when racing.

I find it depends what you listen to these on.
They aren't the best on the Rift headphones (unusual as those are really quite good), but sound really good on the HiFi downstairs when I'm streaming the post race replay on the telly having a drink 8)

Not used my Rift for 3 weeks now  :( cars reviving on the grid through my 7.1 setup sounded like Dyson hoovers revving  :laugh: very poor

Please can you take me off the list for this series? Thanks.

Do you guys want to cut this series short to 6 races?

Yes i do  :) Hockenheim and Watkins will best way for me.  :)

I’d be happy with that Jeff, the car just doesn’t feel right, like a badly done mod car. Numbers are low each week too so it’s not proved a popular series unfortunately.

Ferrari grid was also pretty low, so I think it's not all down to the car, but also the weather maybe.

that was half term week for round 1 of the 250GTO series in the UK so maybe a fair few were away  :-\ I was one of them.  Though the forum has been oddly quiet for the last couple of weeks with hardly anyone posting. :(

I'm not a fan of the older cars, low grip, bad handling etc so tend to stay away from them so wont be doing the GTO races.

So as suggested, drop Atlanta and Estoril and last 2 round at Hockenheim and Watkins?

NOTE

Atlanta and Estoril are cancelled and replaced by Hockenheim and Watkins.

I will do some fun races during the summer to try some tracks and cars.
