ADF-2008 V8Factor Team Championship

Ok, Bonnet says "Love it, Or Leave, as that theme follows through to the pit boards etc. Would have put F off were full, but thought that could be a little too much!. I have 2 paint programs, Paint shop pro 7, and Adobe Photoshop CS2. I know that the Adobe one is better, but I know my way around the Paint Shop Pro a little better. Although, once I have finished my work, I have to use Adobe to save it as a dds file.
I was thinkin of doing different colours for Fords and Holdens, Thinkin of just switching the red and blue for the holden. So it would be similar to the old Aus Flag...

Finally, I have all the car #'s now, Was I on the money with the manufacturers? And what about the 2 person teams, do you guys think it should be fords with fords etc. ?

Niiice... I see what you're saying... Got me on a technicality...hahaha

Raced with a couple of guys from ADF tonight at ECR... Sh!t track guys as you've already pointed out.

They're running 1.32 / 33's and I could only muster a best of 1.35...

What have you guys run there??

This is my worst track, Strugling to muster up some 1:37's here, In need of some real practice for this one.

BTW, just to let you all know, It is going to take me a fair while to do these skins, as I have absoulutely NO idea what I am doing! I will try and Keep you updated as I progress. The Fords of Ray, and Andy will be first, followed by the Holdens of myself, and jason. Quickly did a red one tonight, Doesn't look to bad actually, Pitty I cant just copy and paste the skin on the holden template as they are arranged differently, and are different sizes. Plus it has to be modified aswell to suit the body lines.
Hoping to have the Ford done in a week or two..... Anyone have any ideas for other logos/sponsors or anything else on the cars ?
Jason, Next time you want to do some practice.. or anyone for that matter, hit me up on msn, or leave a message in the shoutbox.

Current version of V8's i'm running 1.35's last version i was in the low 1.32's but new version i cant seem to get rid of the understeer at Eastern Creek. I will prob have a bit of a test tonight (Tuesday) and try some things, the first and last corner seem to be my main problems and i can see following other cars that im losing a lot there, may just be my driving haha but i could run through on previous version at 200 now can keep it turned in at 170 with maximum downforce.
