The text link takes you to more pictures and a discussion of the creation of the livery while the picture link shows you a larger picture. [...]

Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli: Ferrari 575M Maranello Italia and Not Italia custom livery
Italia Not Italia Another competition entry for FCTP and, as you can see, the original design was based on the Italian flag. The competition didn’t allow you to use flags so I altered the colours and submitted that as NotItalia.

Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli: 365 GTB/4 Comp. Track custom livery
I’m not too convinced that I pulled this idea off. It’s supposed to be a race track with kerbing and grass. The racing numbers are styled as a grid marker (I was rather pleased with that idea). While I felt the design looked a bit naff in the screenshots above, in replays it worked surprisingly [...]

Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli: F355 Berlinetta Thorny custom livery
Original Colour Base Paint Variations I’m really bad at abstract pattern creation but this is my attempt at one and, because it is made from the neutral colours of black and white, the base paint can be changed to almost any other colour and it still looks fine. While I was quite pleased with the [...]

Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli Ferrari 512 S and M / Midnight Club Los Angeles Mercedes Benz S600 “DUB” Saturn custom livery
Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli Ferrari 512 S Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli Ferrari 512 M Midnight Club Los Angeles This design is inspired by the iconic Saturn V rockets which took men to the moon in the twentieth century. It is a particularly simple design and quick to reproduce. I initially produced it on the 512 [...]

Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli: 348 TB F1 custom livery
This is another red, white and black paint job and the principle design is the silhouette of a Formula One car along the side (a 2007 Renault, specifically). The silhouette was created by placed red blanking pieces over the chequered flag pattern and there’s nothing else to say. The painting went really smoothly.

Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli: F50 Stave custom livery
The inspiration of this was a super documentary on music conductor Herbert Von Karajan (called Karajan: or Beauty As I See It) and I wondered if I could spell something racing-related out with musical notes. C, D, E, F, G, A, and B are the letters available and I couldn’t readily think of one. Then [...]

Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli: Ferrari 348 Challenge Splat custom livery
Take One Take Two I started this one knowing what colours I wanted to use and that I wanted a bright livery that would be more abstract than I normally produce. After fiddling around for a bit I came across a vinyl that, if I turned it, looked a bit like a blob of paint [...]

Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli: Ferrari FXX Rainbow custom livery
A simple idea this one. Rainbow and clouds with sponsors and racing numbers in the clouds. As is typical in in-game livery editors, getting a pattern to transition smoothly from the side to the roof is extremely tricky. It’s harder than most in FCTP as the aspect ratio of vinyls on the roof is not [...]

Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli: Ferrari 250 GTO Dragon custom livery
Take One Take Two The most immediately obvious shortcoming of FCTP’s livery editor compared to the mighty goodness of Forza Motorsport 2 is the lack of gradient vinyls which are an easy and powerful way to make extremely cool paint jobs. However, concentrating on shortcomings is an easy way to become despondent and so [...]

Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli: Ferrari 575 GTC Jota Sport custom livery
Jota Sport are a Porsche Carrera racing team based in Kent, England. Their cars have a very clean design that can be clearly seen in desktop wallpapers from their site. There were two problems going in. The first was relatively minor and that is that the 575 is a completely different shape to the [...]

Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli: Ferrari F40 Eighties Senna Marlboro custom livery
The Ferrari F40 was touted, at the time, as a Formula One car for the road and was Ferrari’s most expensive and their and the world’s fastest production car. Given that and the strong Senna branding in Ferrari Challenge, I hit upon the simple idea of implementing the classic Marlboro livery from Ayrton Senna’s MP4/4 [...]

Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli: F333 SP Gulf custom livery
There is no orange paint for cars or primitives in Ferrari Challenge. Therefore I changed the colour to red and hope to evoke the classic Gulf livery rather than accurately duplicate it. As there are no small letters in Ferrari Challenge’s vinyl editor, the “u” of Gulf used a capital U shrunk down and required [...]

Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli: 550 Maranello Maranello Village custom livery
I based this design on a sign (pictured right) at Ferrari’s Maranello Village. I immediately liked the two-tone and replicated it using grey (Canna Da Fucile) primitives on a red (Rosso Corsa) base paint with strong white text. Once the simple background was complete and running around the whole car I simply pasted the available [...]

Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli: F430 Challenge Taxi custom livery
Attempting to come up with an appropriate paint job for my North American Challenge F430 and not wanting to replicate my black-and-white police car by hand (you can’t copy part or whole liveries from one car to another, even the exact same model), I ended up thinking of a yellow cab taxi. Using our old [...]

Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli: European Union livery
Rather more appropriate than my Italian 430 Challenge car, my European entry featured the circle of twelve gold stars on a blue background that comprise the flag of the European Union. There were a few unexpected complications. The main one was I produced the flag so that the circle could be seen in its entirety [...]

Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli: F430 Starsky and Hutch livery
While a little inappropriate, I painted the Italian 430 Challenge car with a simple Starsky and Hutch stripe. This was a nice straight-forward job but adds a nice touch of personalisation to your car in Ferrari Challenge’s better-than-average replays.

Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli: US Police Custom Livery
Following up my UK police Ferrari F430, I had a bash at a black-and-white US-style police car. Unfortunately, I hit many limitations of the Ferrari Challenge livery designer and, while I completed this design, it is clear that it isn’t really suitable for complex scratch designs. Scaling a group doesn’t work properly. This means that [...]

Patch V2 arrived for the rather under-appreciated Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli recently and brought all manner of goodies including Trophy support and a photo mode for the livery editor. Unfortunately, in order to earn all the Trophies, you are required to reset your profile (so you can get the ‘The Graduate’ and ‘First Challenge Win’ [...]
