So, here is my latest car, which has been in the works for a little while now. It mostly sat on my hard drive for a few months, and I finally decided to try and finish it. This car is inspired somewhat by the Stadium Car from Trackmania. In the pack are two separate files, one with 10 variations of player color schemes, and one with 20 different car in national colors as follows:
-Austrailia
-Austria
-Brazil
-Bulgaria
-Canada
-Croatia
-Czech Republic
-Spain
-Finland
-France
-United Kingdom
-Germany
-Greece
-Hungary
-Italy
-Japan
-Poland
-Russia
-Slovenia*
-Ukraine
-United States
-South Africa**

*added in v2
**added in v3
Now, for the (fictional) car background. :D

Swift Racing Development has finally emerged with their open wheel racer, the Swift JF013. Swift has seen some limited success in auto racing thus far, with their Swift Arrow which was developed for the ICARS series, but ended up mostly in the middle of the pack. Their LMP project went under and was discarded after being unable to find backing to race at Le Mans. Then, the call came in from NAGRCA, looking for a developer for an open-wheeled car which was to be the spec racer in the International GeneRally Tournament. Swift quickly set to work, but ran into a few snags along the way, mostly with handling issues and the nose design. But they eventually finished the process, and unveiled the Swift JF013, which they hope will spur them onto other projects.

Hope you all enjoy this car :bg: And for those of you in compo racing, hope to see you piloting this in your nation's colors during the next IGRT. :revs:

Also, if I've missed any important GR nations, please let me know so that I can update the pack with additional countries. :P

They also had an entry in the Indycar competition which resulted in the DW12

Updated the carpack with a South Africa car :bg:

Now I have no idea why I thought I hadn't heard of the real Swift Engineering before, I know I have seen all those Indy designs before :P Maybe the name came somewhere from my subconsciousness. I think this will probably be the end of this fictional brand, need something that can't be confused with real manufacturers :headbang:

Swift lost the bid, DW12 is made by Dallara.
