The following is a guide on how to design and upload your LFRS car and
helmet.
Introduction
Like real racing drivers, GP2 users can have their own helemt and car design.
This greatly improves the realism and you can design your car exactly how
you want it, you can have your name across the top, a picture of you on
your helmet and so on. If you are a member of a team you may have
been given a car to use, but if you want to make your own, follow theinstructions
below. Files you will need are at the bottom.
Car Bitmap
This section explaines how to make your car.
Instructions
Download car.bmp.
Open the file in any bitmap editor (like Paint or Paintbrush) and remove
the writing showing you the parts of the car. Then pick your colours
and draw the basic colour scheme of your car onto the panels.
Next, add the adverts you wish to use. You can make your own or add
ones from advert1.bmp and advert2.bmp.
Notes for car.bmp
You should paint only on the white areas of the car & the text.
Please do not change the green background colour of the file.
Do not alter those groups of black strips spread about the page.
Helmet Bitmap
This section explaines how to make your helmet.
Instructions
Download helmet.bmp.
Open the file in any bitmap editor (like Paint or Paintbrush) and pick
your colours and draw them onto the helmet.
You probably won't be able to fit adverts onto the helmet. Instead
drivers generally use distictive colour schemes, like the white stripes
on Damon Hill's helmet and the stars on top of Micheal Schumacher's.
Notes for helmet.bmp
The black area on the rectangular strip is the visor.
The circle to the right represents the top of the helmet.
Please do not change the green background colour of the file.
Uploading Your Files
This section explains how to upload your
finished car and helmet.
Instructions
Zip up the car and helmet .bmp files and send them to carset@lfrs.com.
For the file name use class_driverno.zip. For example someone in
class A2 with the driver number 1000 uses A21000.zip. If it is for
a team use your team name.
In the email give the name of your team and any other details you feel
are needed.
Your car design will appear in about a week.
