Good ol' Days (pt. 2)

Seeing all of these old shots brought back some memories, and I was trying to remember paintjobs/schemes I had done or drove in the past.

A little background first... I've recently started running in SimCar to get my Open Wheel fix in.

This is the league that AJ Allmendinger, the Champ Car driver, races in.. I'm running in two series (Indy Lights, which uses the A1GP mod, and Atlantic series, which is using the rF3). There are a handful of VORs guys over there as well... Andrew Massey, Bob Dunlop, etc.

In any event, I was invited over there by one of the admins, and I've joined his team (for SimCar only! Champion is still #1! They require you to be on a team, and I need setup help for the OW cars... lol). It's Apex Racing 2 (developmental 2nd team for Apex Racing).

They currently use a team paintscheme, and their painter is looking for painting ideas for new paintjobs next season. He's a much better painter than myself, but he asked if we could send him pictures/screenshots of cars we've run in the past, or real world racing series pics (doesn't matter what series) where we liked the paintscheme. Basically just trying to get ideas on colors, etc.

This brings me to my question (brevity isn't my strong suit! lol).

I don't have any of the cars that I used to run in Nascar and some other series, or even screenshots of them... If Tim, or anyone else has screenshots that have my schemes, could you either post them here, or email them to me? I'd kind of like to have them anyway, even if we don't use any of them for a new scheme in SimCar.

The cars I remember from the past that I drove are...

1) Allstate (White and blue, and black and chrome trim). First NR car
2) Outer Limits Racing (Blue with orange/yellow trim)
3) Doc Martens (Chrome with blue? and yellow trim)
4) Allstate (post 9/11 blue with blended American flag)
5) Buffalo Wild Wings (still my favorite car I've run.. I'd love to get some good shots of THIS one)

I found screenshots of my old Nikon and Red Bull GTP Sauber from renders I had on my work laptop.

If any of you were smart and saved/backed up these things, I'd really appreciate it if you could get sme some screens or renders.

Thanks again!

Oh, here is the team paintscheme for the rF3s... You can personalize a secondary sponsor. This is the Apex Racing scheme, and the AR2 team I'm running in just substitutes yellow front and rear wings.
