SKIN - Esapekka Lappi / Janne Ferm - Ford Fiesta S2000 - Kerava SM-Ralli 2012

 2012 was a true breakthrough season for Esapekka Lappi. Only driving FWD cars up to this point, the Finnish prodigy stepped up to a Printsport-entered Fiesta S2000 for the Finnish Championship. And what a year that would be. 


The theme of the season was clear from the start. 3 dominant victories in 3 rallies on the winter season gave him a comfortable lead. But he didn't stop there. The summer season had 4 rallies, which he also won them all. The Finnish championship was confirmed in the 2nd to last event at Merikarvia with a winning margin of 1.49,9. The livery is from the last event at Kerava, where he got the special champion decals on the car

On the whole year, he won outright 10 out of 13 rallies he entered. It could be argued that his car was above the competition, but it's still a remarkable achievement to be totally unbeaten for the whole season. 

From here on, the world was open. Joining Skoda Motorsport at the end of the season started with a win by over two minutes in the ERC round at Poland. 2013 had him driving selected events in WRC2, ERC and APRC, which helped him continue on the success and pave his way to the top class.

SKINS - Thierry Neuville & Esapekka Lappi - Hyundai i20 N Rally1 - Rally Croatia 2023

Image
 Rest in peace Craig Breen.  Hi. I got an amazing opportunity thanks to Dino Antonelli to make the default skin for his new car model of the 2023 Hyundai i20 Rally1. Both Neuville and Lappi versions with the late Irishman's tribute livery will be available in the car folder when it gets released. Thanks to Dino for great work on the car.  I can't provide you with a download link just yet but you can enjoy this preview of how the car will look when it's released.  Neuville: Cockpit:  I kindly ask you not to ask when this car (or any other car) gets released with NGP physics. As far as we all know, Workerbee has the Rally1 physics in his lab but we will not know if/when they get released. So don't ask out of respect to the voluntary work of modders.

SKIN - Sami Pajari / Enni Mälkönen - Rallye Monte Carlo 2022 - Ford Fiesta Rally3

Image
Hello everyone! It's time for a new season in rallying! New season always brings more car skins into the to-do list. First of them this year is the Rally3 Fiesta of Sami Pajari from the WRC season opener in Monte Carlo.   This rally was Sami's first 4WD rally outside of Finland and the 2nd overall in his career. Based on that, expectations were low and finishing the rally was the main priority. This year is very important for the 2021 Junior WRC winner, to show what he's made of.  He entered Monte in the WRC3 category with 3 other competitors. The rally started very cautiously on Thursday, him being 2nd in class but behind some local drivers in Rally4 FWD cars. The car became more familiar and the times were better. On the last 3 days, he was fastest in class on 10 out of 15 stages, resulting him in beating the Czech driver Jan Cerny by only 7 seconds at the end. He's one to watch this year, keep an eye on him!  > > > DOWNLOAD < < < As usual the car pr

TEXTURE MOD - WRC 2021

Image
Hello all! This time it's a bit different mod in here.  This mod replaces all advertisement boards on original stages with more up-to-date ones familiar from recent IRL rally events. Some are made up, some are as in real life. I will also release a template file for the banners if you want to make your own ones.  Also all the rally signs on the original stages are replaced with more "official" ones. https://media.giphy.com/media/gsvSWfNZTwvh9zMnN0/giphy.gif NOTE: The pictures above show different ground and tree textures than what you might have. I have other mods installed and didn't bother to uninstall those just for these pictures. This package includes only the advertisements and rally signs.  This mod also replaces all textures of stage marshall and media people. For example vests, jeans, shirts, jacket, cameras, sunglasses, shoes.  Big thank you to Heikki for helping with organizing the folders and making pretty much all of the SGS textures! Thank you for the pe

Again, i'm using the base Hyundai skin made by PetrovPG, thank you again for letting me edit and use it further.  If you are searching the skin for 2020 version of the car, it's here

SKIN - Teemu Suninen / Mikko Markkula - Rally Monza 2021 - Hyundai i20 WRC 2020

Another week, another Teemu Suninen skin. This is the skin from the last event of 2021 and his first WRC outing for Hyundai. In this rally he became the first and only Finnish driver to participate in a WRC rally in the 2017-spec Hyundai i20 WRC, in the last event it was possible to do.  The rally started on Friday a tad carefully for him, being 7th fastest on all 7 stages.  Understandable, when you have a one-time chance to shine without much previous experience of the car. Take into account the struggles of other drivers who drove the Hyundai on tarmac, even Sébastien Loeb, the car was clearly not an easy car to drive.  Despite that, the pace got better on saturday and sunday and he was able to post 2 top3 stage times, on SS10 San Fermo 2 and SS15 Serraglio 1. The finishing position was 6th, about half a second per kilometer behind the winners. With this result, he stepped a foot inside the Hyundai team and is poaching at the opportunity of getting a Rally1 drive in 2022. Let's h
