A SimRacing.org.uk skinpack can be found at Trading Paints – the list name is SROUK Enduro
If you haven't already downloaded and installed the desktop downloader, can I please advise you to do so.

Please register your interest on THIS THREAD, stating which class you intend to run, as we intend to have a 50/50 split between the classes.

If you are unfamiliar with the Trading Paints site, please see the "Getting Started with Trading Paints" page.


Trading paints do a VIDEO TUTORIAL on the process of saving from the .psd format the car skinning templates are in to the .tga format required for the sim.

To install a skin all you need to do is to name the .tga file with your iRacing customer ID - which can be found at https://members.iracing.com/membersite/account/Home.do and then you put the file (16529.tga in my case) into the relevant folder.  By default it will be C:\Users\Username\Documents\iRacing\paint\cars\fr500s (in Win7).  Once the file is in there you're all done, and the skin will show in the next session you load up.

Trading Paints automates the download-and-move-to-the-right-folder process.  Each driver uploads the drivernumber.tga to the site, selects what car it is for, adds it to the SROUK Enduro list, and we can then automatically download all the personalised skins.

Ah ... a flaw in the plan ....

I have to add the cars to the list after you have uploaded them .... that's not quite as streamlined as I had hoped.  Please post in the skins thread when you have uploaded the skin and I'll add it to the list.

In the sign up thread, please indicate on the poll what class you are intending to drive.

This poll links into the driver lists for the tables, and is also linked to the visability of the server password - no poll, no password!


Can I also ask any newcomers to seriously consider signing up for the Mustang class.  There's a large number of Corvette drivers already signed up and it would be nice to even out the numbers between the two classes if possible.

Thanks.
