After watching Daytona I wanted to build an IMSA or WEC multi-class package for AMS1 to play with. What a pain! There's plenty of stuff "out there" but getting anything to work proved more challenging. Trebie did an awesome Oreca 07. It's no longer available, but the Assetto Corsa mods are the same car, so skins galore from Racedepartment! Unfortunately Trebies gorgeous car is just that...to gorgeous. The combined MAS files are 61MB with no LODs. I can run about 13-15 cars depending on the track. Multi-class, ahhh no. Not happening.
Next I tried the RSS IMSA mod which came out as a beta V0.3 or something like that. The Dallara Cadillac is a good looking car, templates are available, I can tweak physics so I thought why not... until I tried to package it up with a GTE/GTLM and GT3 package. It crashes more often than not. Think there's a .cmaps file conflict. Next was a Simtek 2016 WEC mod I found on the web. Same problem as Trebies Oreca 07 as far as heavy .mas files and there are no templates for that mod to paint cars either that I could find.
So I went back to my EEC Endurance Series stand-by. Unfortunately the only closed coupe prototypes available are the Lola B12 and the Dallara Corvette. The Corvette DP was about the dumbest thing IMSA ever allowed (IMO), so started hunting skins for the Lola.
Great package here on Racedeparment from CrivitzChris was a good starting point. Cleaned up the skins and put some common plates on them. But the field looked pretty dated. So I just started painting and here's a few ideas I came up with. I was going to post this conversation in AMS skins but apparently I don't have permission to post there.
What do you think? I know...silly. But if you squint just a little bit...
