BMW M1 Procar 1979 Season - Skin pack for BMW M1 Procar

I thought it was about time that what is probably the greatest one-make series of all time got some love so have spent the last few months working on a skin pack for the 1979 season. If I had known at the beginning just how much work this would entail and how scarce photos are of some of the cars I think I would have probably chosen an easier subject

Here are the first 8 cars that I have completed. I have tried to make them as accurate as is possible although a lot of the cars had small...

gringohairpiece updated BMW M1 Procar 1979 Season with a new update entry:

BMW M1 Procar 1979 Season V1.1

Here's an update to add 4 BMW Motorsport cars to the mix. I have included early and mid-season versions of these liveries and I have included an "Alternatives" folder with them in.

BMW Motorsport had 6 cars (in the classic livery) that they reserved for the fastest qualifiers at each European F1 GP. Over the course of the 8 rounds they had 14 different drivers behind the wheel although only 6 of them drove at more than one race. These are the drivers I am going to focus on for the time...

gringohairpiece updated BMW M1 Procar 1979 Season with a new update entry:

BMW M1 Procar 1979 Season 1.2

Another quick update to include the 2 BMW Motorsport I promised yesterday.

#26 BMW Motorsport - Jacques Laffite
#90 BMW Motorsport - Hans-Georg Bürger

Burger only raced in 2 races towards the end of the season so there is no "Early" livery for his car. Also, while I know his name should have an umlaut over the 'U' I can't find any photos that actually show they had them.

There is also a fix to the xml file which erroneously included details of the #45 Manhalter car which I am currently...

Hi, Yes at some point I will add Andretti, Jarrier and Fittipaldi but as they only raced once each during the 1979 Championship I thought it would be better to concentrate on those who raced more often

gringohairpiece updated BMW M1 Procar 1979 Season with a new update entry:

BMW M1 Procar 1979 Season v1.4

Here is the next update to this 1979 season skin pack. It includes the following

New skins
#41 Airpress Racing - Wolfgang Schütz
#66 Eggenberger Motorsport - Helmut Kelleners

Fixes
#90 BMW Motorsport - Hans-Georg Bürger

The #66 car is not actually complete and I am looking for some help from you to let me know what it says on the banner on the doors. I have attached the best images I could find. Let me know what you think it says and I will then update the skin and include it as a fix...

gringohairpiece updated BMW M1 Procar 1979 Season with a new update entry:

BMW M1 Procar 1979 Season v1.6

A small update compared to the last one but this adds an important car to the mix as the pack now includes multiple skins for Hans-Joachim Stuck's car.

I have also included the "Minolta" skin for the 88 Konrad car when it was driven at Hockenheim by 'John Winter'

There is also a small correction to the #60 De Angelis skin which he ran at Zandvoort.

Happy racing

gringohairpiece updated BMW M1 Procar 1979 Season with a new update entry:

BMW M1 Procar 1979 Season

Here is a small but significant update as it add the final car/driver to the pack. This car is difficult to make an accurate skin for as there are so few images from the 1979 season available. I even emailed the Brun team to see if they had images but have not had a response. I found one for Monaco (which covers most of the car), one for Zeltweg (front on) and a couple for other races and Norisring etc. There are also two videos (Zolder, Monaco) which I was able to use to make those two...
