So I finally found the time and interest to build another creation from scratch. I've been working on it for 2 days and it's almost finished now.
Here are some screenshots:
Now it is up to you to guess which car this is and also tell me which color I should paint it for release. :)

@aircraftarsenal123 That thing on the top is a spoiler. I don't know if it really has a use, but quite a few Escort MKII Rally cars have it. This one for example.
I did some more work on it. I personally like the a lot now. For some reason it's pulling to the left while accelerating and to the right as it reaches a certain speed though. I checked weight balance, symmetry of the suspension and all of it's parts and everything. I removed the decals, seats, even put a big intake on the opposite side to create a lot of drag as an opposing force. It all changed absolutely nothing.
I uploaded it unlisted for others to test. Any help is appreciated.
Maybe paint the fenders the same color as the car, and (if you keep the intake) paint it the same also. It will make the stripe look more apparent and the fenders won't blend in will the wheel. You want those fender flares in rally racing
Hmm... I wouldn't worry about copyright issues. It's a plane simulator GAME for crying out loud, and all the replicas would be screwed. I think Honda are the only people who do that (quite dumb to me). Honestly, I think it looks good. Although, you might want to remove the roof mounted intake. It looks kinda fake given that the air coming from it would have to go down the A, B, and C pillars, which never really happens unless the car is mid/rear engined. I haven't seen any pictures with it. Anyway, I think that if you don't like the look, just give it a paint job of your own, and keep the number. Don't worry about the sponsor decals or all out designs. This is yours! @BRuthless
@aircraftarsenal123 It has 468 parts currently. I built it large to get it more detailed, right now it's around 5 m wide and 12 m long. I'll scale it down to half the size and then tune engine and suspension settings.
The problem with these rally paintjobs is that I feel like they really need those decals.
1. There's probably copyright on all of them 2. They are hard to make 3. They are even harder to copy to both sides of the car
I probably have to come up with some fictional decals that look good while still beeing easy to make and mirror. I'm out of ideas. :/
How appealing is this?
How many parts is the car? Maybe this will do? I highly suggest upload the standard version, then a rally version. Or maybe just the rally. This might look cool. The suspension looks spot on
@aircraftarsenal123 The Mk1 and Mk2 were very successful rally cars. When the Audi Quattro came along, they needed to develop a new car with 4WD and more power to keep up, the RS200. And in the consumer market they were followed by the Ford Fiesta, which now also became a very successful rally car.
I'm still open for suggestions about looks. :)
Maybe a rally version? Idk if the ford escort was ever used for rally, but it would look cool. Plus we need more good rally cars
@jamesPLANESii I could possibly make a Marlboro paintjob. That's not too hard and looks great.
Maybe a more basic version of the stickers? It'll get heaps more upvotes if you do! @BRuthless
@jamesPLANESii Yep, but I probably won't put any stickers on it. That would take me just as long as building the whole car. :D
This one here looks cool...
Yeah! @BRuthless
@jamesPLANESii Ford Escort Mk2 :D
