American drag racing is, and always was, faster than euro drag racing. Australian records are also quicker and faster than europe's. Maybe you should do some research yourself?
Also, there's no difference in the bodyshapes. There might be a difference in the material as US cars are now all carbon fibre instead of fibreglass, but apart from that and the livery, the bodies are all the same wedge shape with huge rear wings needed for downforce.
The euro nitro funny car record is a 5.1@289mph where as the US record is 4.6@333mph for the quarter mile. They only run the nitro cars to the 1000 foot mark now (instead of 1320) after the death of Scott Kallita.
I've seen so many examples of that. Those ricer cars look like graphics card artifacts and I find that really funny. If a new NFS had that kind of ricing, I would die of laughter.
Anyways, I don't know how NFS is going to get out of the huge hole they put themselves in. They've been sticking to the tuner theme for too long and if they do come back with an exotic, more race oriented theme, I still don't think they could pull themselves out of that hole.
Becky, when you watch A1GP or GP2 do you even think about the teams? Being a standard car means that the teams are just a livery, and very little attention is given to them other than the quality of their setup abilities.
One make series are not good if you want a team championship, or want the teams to be part of it. Whilst I appreciate that not everyone loves the technical side of F1, the whole of the sport will suffer if that is lost to spec cars.
One of the first serious skins I've done for LfS is my personal interpretation of a Red Bull livery. The pic attached firstly is an early stage draft looking pretty blank. Later I tried to make it closer to a possible V1 Championship livery, I refined the standard sponsor ads at the side for higher resolution and added some detail as you can see in the other 2 pictures attached.
The point is I'm not quite happy with the NIL-logos and the little "extra livery" (the white stripes, just google for packs, it's a cigarrete brand). Otherwise it would look too blank again without it. What could I do for it? I just know if I remove the NIL-ads I'll use the silver air take-in like in the early version again.
I am just wondering if it would be at all possible for someone to do me a funky and uber cool red bull livery for the XFG? if possible could i have the number 2 on it, however i will need to be able to change the numbers as i will need to change it for my team mate for a league i am in..
