Lightbulb SpeedSource Racing RX-8 in FORZA

One of the wonderful features of Forza Motorsport for the Xbox is the ability to create custom designs for your cars. So I got ambitious over the weekend and decided to replicate the Grand Am Championship winning SpeedSource RX-8.

To honor their recent win at the Road&Track 250, I even took a few pics of my “virtual” car lapping at Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway. Sorry for the crappy pics, had to take it off of the TV. (Too bad there's no Photomode like GT4.)

How do you like my handy work?

Nice work, man! Looks just like the real thing!

Speaking of being ambitious, my friend sat down for two hours yesterday to hammer out a Mountain Dew Elise. Took him something like 80 layers to get it right. I'll have to go grab pictures later on. Next project is a KFC car. I'll have pictures of that when they become available as well.

Thanks for the props guys!

It actually took 270 layers to create. There's no text editor, so the "mazda", "mazdaspeed", and "SpeedSource" logos were the hardest parts to design.

holy crap, 270 layers??!?!! dang dude, you're one dedicated ****! How hard was it to do the rotary symbols? I have the game but haven't really gotten into it (been playing a lot of NCAA 2005 football for some reason) so any pointers would be great

The rotary symbols aren't hard, just 3 skewed arcs and a circle in the middle. Since there are no letters, it's the damn text that's a real pain, especially when trying to get the font to look right. The SpeedSource logo was a little more tricky with the "Ying Yang" symbol as the "O" in Source.

For my next Forza project, think I'm going to try and create the D1GP Drift JIC-Magic RX-8.
