The Change Livery page

There is a wide variety of different car liveries for you to choose for your car. These are simply to help distinguish yourself during the race from the other managers in your league.

Please note that different liveries offer no speed advantage over each other, and are purely for presentation.

Simply click the livery you wish to race with and it will be automatically selected. Hovering over each livery will also give you information on which car and year the livery is based on (if you are unable to immediately recognise it!).

If you are a supporter then you also gain access to a further tab of classic liveries to choose from.

Think some liveries are missing?

New liveries are added as an on-going basis, so if you think any are missing, please don't hesitate to contact the graphics team, or post a request in this thread

New Formula 1 liveries for each season are usually added a few days before the start of the F1 season (usually in March).

Only liveries from the history of Formula 1 will be added as public or supporter liveries - therefore if you would prefer a fantasy or national livery, then we would suggest creating one and using this as your team or personal livery.

Pit Crew

After choosing your livery, you can click the "Pit Crew Color" tab to then select a matching (or contrasting, depending on your own style) color for your crew to wear during pitstops.

As with car liveries, please note that different pit crew colors offer no speed advantage over each other, and are purely for presentation.

Team Liveries

If your team has 6 supporters, then this allows all team members to wear your own and unique team livery for the race.

How to get your own team livery

Personal Liveries

Examples of personal liveries

If you would like your very own personalized livery which only you can wear - this can be achieved in a few ways:

Rent a temporary personal livery from the Livery market
Buy a permanent personal livery from the Livery market
Request a personal livery to be designed for you according to your wishes (see below)

How to get a personal livery designed for me

Ensure you have a minimum of 50 supporter credits in your account.
Contact the GPRO graphics team at graphics@gpro.net. They will then work with you to create the exact livery of your desires.
Please Note: Personal liveries are not restricted to using one of the templates, and you can request an open-wheel car design and shape of your choosing (see examples on the right).

+__NOTOC__[[Image:Liveries.jpg|400px|thumb|The Change Livery page]]There is a wide variety of different car liveries for you to choose for your car.  These are simply to help distinguish yourself during the race from the other managers in your league.
-==Update Car==
-[[image:UpdateCar.jpg|350px|thumb|The Update Car Page]]
-*Car parts will gradually wear from use (testing & racing) at different rates depending on a variety of factors.
-*0% means that a part is new and unworn; 100% is a fully worn part, but this will not prevent you from starting a race.
-*You can only update your car '''once''' between races. After clicking the "Update car" button you will not be able to update your car again until after the next race.
-*You can undo your last car update if you haven't done any further actions. This can be done for free until you've driven 34 races, otherwise the cost is 2 supporter credits.
-*Each time you update you have the choice of upgrading a part to the next part level; replacing a part with the same part level; downgrading a part to a lower level with less wear or doing nothing with that part.
-*You can upgrade the car parts up to level 9, every new part costs the amount specified next to it.
-*You can upgrade the car parts one step(level) at a time.
-*If a part (higher than level 1) has some wear you can downgrade it to a lower level for free. This downgraded part will have less wear recorded against it, but will '''REPLACE''' your existing part (i.e. it is thrown away - cannot be re-selected at a later date).
-*The chance of mechanical failure increases if the car parts are very worn.
-*Your car will perform better if the car character (Power / Handling / Acceleration) suit the track characteristics.
-==Car Wear==
+Please note that different liveries '''offer no speed advantage''' over each other, and are purely for presentation.
-[[Image:Carwear.jpg|487px|thumb|An example of car wear from a race]]
-*Your car receives part wear by performing testing, and participating in races.
-*Being able to estimate your car wear is critical to avoid your car developing a technical problem and start smoking during races.
-*Car Part wear can be affected by:
-**Different tracks.
-**The car part level.
-**Your selected race risks ''(Overtaking, Defensive, Clear Track, Malfunctioning)''.
-**Driver attributes
+Simply click the livery you wish to race with and it will be automatically selected.  Hovering over each livery will also give you information on which car and year the livery is based on (if you are unable to immediately recognise it!).
-==Frequently Asked Questions==
+'''If you are a supporter''' then you also gain access to a further tab of classic liveries to choose from.
-=====Why can I never finish a race / Why is my car always smoking? / Why is my part wear so high?=====
+=====Think some liveries are missing?=====
-This is one of the most common questions asked by new GPRO players - and in 99% of these situations, the answer is '''''LOWER YOUR RACE RISKS!'''''
+New liveries are added as an on-going basis, so if you think any are missing, please don't hesitate to contact the graphics team, or post a request in [http://www.gpro.se/forum/ViewTopic.asp?TopicId=5195 this thread]
-The Game rules state that risks of just 40 should be considered '''''VERY HIGH''''' for rookies - therefore it is recommended that you race with zero risks whenever possible, as this will lengthen the life of your car parts, meaning you will spend less money.
+New Formula 1 liveries for each season are usually added a few days before the start of the F1 season (usually in March).
-The majority of car parts should be able to last 3 races minimum.
+Only liveries from the history of Formula 1 will be added as public or supporter liveries - therefore if you would prefer a fantasy or national livery, then we would suggest creating one and using this as your team or personal livery.
-=====Why can’t I update my car?=====
+==Pit Crew==
-You can't update your car due to one of the following reasons:
+After choosing your livery, you can click the "Pit Crew Color" tab to then select a matching (or contrasting, depending on your own style) color for your crew to wear during pitstops.
-*You have already updated your car which can only be done once before each race. See [[Update Car]] for more information.
-*If you are in debt you are not allowed to update your car, you can still downgrade parts.  See [[Money | The disadvantages of being in debt]] for more information.
-*You have missed the deadline for the next race, which is 1.5 hours before the advertised race start.
-=====All my parts are worn, I am in debt and can’t update, what do I do?=====
+As with car liveries, please note that different pit crew colors '''offer no speed advantage''' over each other, and are purely for presentation.
-DON’T PANIC! You need to slow down and learn to control the wear of your car parts, try looking at driver risks. Try to finish races so you can make more money to update the car. You can still downgrade parts however. Think very carefully about what you spend your money on. *Hint - In rookie even risks of 40 are considered very high.
-=====Is it ok to update the car after Practice/Qualify?=====
-Yes the upgrade will still work, but you should consider that if you change parts after practice / qualify you are likely to affect the setup you have for the race.
-=====How much does a part cost for each level?=====
+==Team Liveries==
-This you will have to find out for yourself, parts which have more effect on the car performance cost more. So a level 2 engine will cost more than a level 2 front wing.
+If your team has 6 supporters, then this allows all team members to wear your own and unique team livery for the race.
