Those Mini's look gorgous. Release must be just around the corner. Love those pics. Modeled them beautifully. Physics I'm knowing for sure are gonna be bang on.. Perfect rubbing in racing with these little beasts. League racing with these gems is gonna be a blast.
I really like the detailed model, but those 2d-headlights aren't convincing. Especially on a MINI where the headlights are a key-element of the design. I hope they will get modelled for a future update. Despite of that I'm really looking forward to the MINI Challenge, which should offer a ton of fun, determined by its design.
They're "2d" on the real car - the lights are stickers, just like on the stocks. It's a sprint race series in Brazil, with rather a lot of body contact. Replacing lights (which don't get used) every couple weekends would get rather expensive rather quickly It's a similar story in the UK, though there's a mixture of "proper" headlights and "fake" ones painted a variety of colours - http://www.minichallenge.co.uk/2012-oulton-park-race-1 The stickers on our car are part of the livery template, so can be painted if you so wish. The black rims are available for all custom cars to run as an option to the standard silver ones, via a simple switch in the veh files. There's another thing in there too for additional customisation, but I won't spoil it (hint: it's visible in the screenshot Bram posted).
I think it would be released next weekenk, when the real Championship of Stock Car Brasil restart,after the vacation of july
