Recent enforced changes to BATracer.com

Due to issues that most users of BATracer.com know about, BATracer has had to go through many changes effecting the overall appearance and other aspects of the game. At present the only changes here are the new car templates available in the new version of LMES.

 The original liveries for DTM, GP2 and LMES are now available from each carset album. These are the designs that were available at the sign up page when joining a carset, but due to the recent changes you can now only use them if you have KT and upload them. This work was done by the creators of those carsets including Matt Simons and others at The BATracer Workshop.

If you donate to, or sponsor the site, you unlock Kool Tools, this enables you a number of extra features including uploading your own designed livery for your race car from some of the carsets that have an uploadable feature like  ChampCar, Trans-AM, DTM or GP2, instead of  using the limited in game designs. These few pages are just somewhere to gather all designs that have been done and have been/will be raced by me and also some talented designers that take part in the game and have helped create some of these carsets. If you have Kool Tools but can't be bothered to design a livery, then feel free to use any you see, but please respect that these designs have taken their creators time and here for use on BATracer only. 

Any comments, spotted errors, or questions you can contact me via PM on the BATracer game (Craig Nayler). You will need an account with the game to do so.

If you need help or guidance with anything BATracer related, try the BATracer forum with many experienced BATracers and the developers themselves regularly posting, The link is under the 'Game' drop down menu at the top of the BATracer screen, 4th link down. Or click here.

I hope you get inspired, join the game and make better ones. If you do I'll see you there!

One of the other main changes to BATracer was the removal of manufacturer names from the game. Thanks to some players of BATracer there is now a 'User Script' that replaces the fake names back to the original names that could be found in game previously. This user script is not endorsed, recommended or supported by BATracer in any way and any use is down to the individual. The user script changes the names back on the users computer only, so if you use more than one computer then you would need to install on all these computers. The user script may not work on all types of browser. Depending on your PC specs you may notice some slow down when pages are loading especially on the larger races like LMES races or Oval races.

FireFox users

• Original DTM, GP2 and LMES Liveries: All the original liveries that were once available at the sign up stage of these carsets are now available in their own albums. This work was done by the creators of those carsets including Matt Simons and others at The BATracer Workshop.
  
• Latest Releases: 5 carsets!  Since the end of May 5 new carsets have been released, all of them with the option of uploading your own livery. The yellow templates from all the new sets are available from the 'Carset Templates' option top left. DTM and GP2 have an album with liveries available to use now. Trans-Am and F3 and albums will be available soon. These new albums also include work from the carset creators and some of BATracers finest livery makers as well as some of my own.

• Champcar Version2.0: A new version of the Champcar carset has now been released with new races at Miami and Indy that were not included on the first version. The other big difference is the graphics update to the cars. Thanks to the work of Mariusz Pieczar they are a vast improvement over the first version and although you may be able to get the older V1.0 liveries from this site to fit the cars they might not be that accurate. So now there is an album of designs on the newer templates. Some work are mine, but most have been provided by Shane Van Rooy (Rooster).
  
• MR2 series: This is a fictional series based on Toyota's succsesfull 2-seater coupe the MR2.  The templates for all the cars are available from the template album. MR2 Livery album
  
  •  MK3 Road car (softtop and hardtop): These two versions of the Mk3 road car are the same apart from the black vinyl roof on the soft top. Because of this there will only be liveries using the hardtop template but this can be used for the soft top versions as well. Just save and upload to the game in the same way you would normaly. The game will place the black roof on the car.                
• Album pages, How to download:  The gallery of designs have been seperated into each of the uploadable carsets available and then (where applicable) into different classes or particular chassis. To use: click on the folder you want (BTCC = Touring/Production, Champcar = Lola/Penske/Reynard etc) and browse for the car you like. Click on the car to view a large image in the centre and then either right click and save image or click on the downwards arrow, bottom right of large image and then right click and save image.

• Universal Liveries:   These Liveries can be used with any model in the relevant carset. Just upload straight to BATracer without having to do a thing. The game will chop and shade automatically. Because the cars vary in shape, the designs are more basic than tailored liveries. Both ChampCars and BTCC carsets are supported and can be found on the last page of their relevant carset pages.

• A1 Grand Prix Liveries:  Wanted to join an A1 series? Seen the huge list of available countries/regions? Picked one and wished you chose a better livery? Now all the available A1 Team liveries are viewable before you join. Just click on the A1GP In Game Liveries link at the top of the page and choose the relevant page. The liveries are in groups of  7 in alphabetical order.

• Original Carsets Templates:  Do you think you can do better? Inspired to design your own? Or are you frustrated that you have to join a series and pick your chosen car before you can even start on a design scheme? All the templates in their original yellow form can be found here. They now include the latest carset templates from DTM, GP, Ferrari Challenge, F3, Trans-Am. Templates for proposed carsets from the  'Fujitsu' V8 Series, V8 Brutes and The Renault Megane Cup can be found here. Although these series are not confirmed , they are ready to be added to the roster when and if the Devs decide. So heres your chance to be ready for them! The A1Gp template is added, but this cannot be uploaded to the game.

You will need to register to upload designs. Click here to go to the website.
