After some edits, I decided to go with black.
It will display the Vendetta decal with guild software and the Vendetta Online on the hood.
(serco branded) all around.

Cool. I wasn't even aware of iRacing.

Yep me too.
It's NASCAR sanctioned and even some of the REAL drivers race in them under different names.

Some big sponsors in them too with fairly large purses.
10k purse for Peak Antifreeze Championship with a chance to become a REAL nascar driver or even road racer
The simulator also has the ability to be a spotter for your driver, and/or pit crew to manage tires,setups,fuel and more.

I'm learning to paint in gimp so figured I would expose the VO decals and to make them available to TradingPaints. Trading paints is the simulators paint scheme app so everyone can see the in game paint content.
This app will share the paints on their website among other drivers as well as exposed in search results

Anyhow should be fun to watch and expose VO to large groups of other drivers, and business owners.
I might see if any drivers want to host the FREE TRIAL decal or even advertise a 30 day KEY when they sponsor a car with their own logo on it. Or something like that.
Will be fun to watch the VO car coming around the track.

LSRTV and other leagues literally have commercial ad space during the broadcasts LOL It's crazy realistic.

I like space games but this seems pretty cool.

Well NO real mention of the #86 VO car during the race and no exposure to the VO paint.

The #86 VO car qualified in 26th out of a field of 42.
The #86 VO car drafted well at Daytona and worked it's way up into 16th spot before being involved in an incident at around lap 40
The #86 VO car was unable to avoid all the wrecking cars up front and took on some front end damage which hurt any chance of working toward the lead pack again.

After falling back, and without any drafting help for the slower damaged car, the #86 VO car was able finished in 23nd spot.
Currently 27th in the Championship points for 2016, the VO car looks forward to next weeks race at the virtual Auto Speedway in CA.

The Vendetta painted car finished 6th this week at Taladega Speedway

Broadcasters did not mention the paint name on the car though. I think the driver needs a top 5 at least for that.
Top 3 they will interview the driver and mention Vendetta more then once.

I wish I could paint it better for the driver though. I am new to gimp so it could be much better then this.
