Burkell007 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I read this thread and it reminded me of my youth watching Jeff Gordon and his cars. Then I got the urge to want to design a car, started thinking about how a long time ago I had a Nascar game on my ps2. Looked it up to see what all is out and Nascar the Game 2014 is going to be released in a couple weeks. Im excited again, Thank you Nascar Thread for bringing out the kid in me. I need to get back into Nascar....If the new NASCAR game is anything like the most recent, it'll be frustratingly difficult to create a car -- it's do-able, though with patience. You have to use a bunch of basic shapes to create whatever logos and designs aren't in the game. NASCAR the Game 2011 was the last game I had that you could create cars. It was more user-friendly then the create-a-car during the EA Sports series of NASCAR games at least.[/quoteIf u can find a copy of NASCAR racing 2003 season for pc that's the best way to make a car!!Yeah the PC ones were always good. One I had you could do it all in photoshop and import it back into the game. Those games are expensive now since they're obviously not made anymore -- if you find one on ebay, it's likely to cost quite a bit.I was able to make some pretty nice cars in the last NASCAR game but all too often the time I put into it amounted to nothing. Also, you couldn't play with created cars in a season. It would've been nice if, as you got new sponsors, you could design your own cars, but they were predesigned. You could play with custom cars online, but they don't always load, so to your opponents it looks like you're racing a car that's just one color with a stock looking number.Yea but the PC game( I'm lucky to have gotten back in the day for 10 bucks) don't have a career mode just a season. But MAN can u mod the living heck outta that! Even tracks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of a ball, bat, discus, or javelin, there are tires and jacks and gas cans. I think when casual observers think of auto racing, their thoughts begin and end with a driver sitting in a seat holding a steering wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 No, this is not a joke. It looks like one of those Toyota Custom Cars from Toyota's Car Builder promotion a few years back. this is at the top of the list of why i cant watch Nascar. i cant take this seriously. Do you feel the same way about soccer, who also designs their team's,look around a corporate sponsor?That's not exactly true. Most soccer teams have a sponsor front and center on their jerseys, but it's extremely rare for a club to change colors, logos, etc. to match a sponsor. With Manchester United, the important thing is the red shirt, white shorts, black socks. You know that's not going to change no matter who the sponsor is.

YesterdayWasCool Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Does anyone happen to have just like a blank "template" of a car? The Chevy, Toyota, Dodge, Ford so if you wanted to make a concept car with same sponsers you could? or would that be in Concepts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAWeaver Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I put out a request a while back for a car template but it received no responses. I'd also like one too, but it'd have to be in Paint form @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAWeaver Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 It may take some time, but I can try and make a template. It would be in paint though. However, I did find this:http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/74372-nascar-concept/?fromsearch=1Remove the logos, designs, etc, til you get an outline of the car, make a few modifications to make it look like a Gen 6 car and there you go. I can try it, but it will have to wait until this evening. @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buster Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Great display of all Daytona paint schemes on Yahoo.http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nascar-130000968--nascar.htmlLove the #13 Geico, #11 Fed-Ex and #83 Borla schemes.EDIT - Damn Yahoo changed article/link.

LAWeaver Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Yeah, Hamlin (11) has had that scheme for... What is it? Three years now? I do agree though it is a good design. I find it funny when people say that a basketball or football jersey with a sponsor patch looks too cluttered. In NASCAR, however, it is the opposite, where a blank car or one with just a company's script and one color looks bad while cluttered is (in some cases) good, like Kyle Busch's cars. Then again, NASCAR is the only sport I can think of that centers their designs around a brand full-time @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buster Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Should be interesting to see how Earnhardt fans react. I guess it depends on how well the kid drives.Glad they didn't retire the number. It belongs to Childress Racing and Dale did run several other numbers too. If #43 is still running, the one number that would merit a retirement, surely #3 can too. We didn't retire #28 or #7 when those two very talented drivers died (aircraft rather than on track).When 60 cars show up to qualify, we don't have enough numbers between 0-99 to start retiring them.But, good luck kid, you better drive your butt off in that #3 car. There is added pressure whether it's fair or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderbread Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I think it is really bad taste making the car be mostly black, considering that was Dales signature look for most of his career in the 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
