HELMET FOR LFRS

Last Updated: Monday 20 July 98

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

  1. Download car.bmp.
  2. 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.
  3. Next, add the adverts you wish to use.  You can make your own or add ones from advert1.bmp and advert2.bmp.

  Helmet Bitmap

This section explaines how to make your helmet.

Instructions

  1. Download helmet.bmp.
  2. Open the file in any bitmap editor (like Paint or Paintbrush) and pick your colours and draw them onto the helmet.
  3. 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.

Uploading Your Files

This section explains how to upload your finished car and helmet.

Instructions

  1. Zip up the car and helmet .bmp files and send them to carset@lfrs.com.
  2. 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.
  3. In the email give the name of your team and any other details you feel are needed.
  4. Your car design will appear in about a week.
