That folder had some WIP liveries that I made for other people, that after some consideration looked too bad to show them A season guide is in the making and everyone will be able to see all the liveries The placement of everything is perfect, but I remade it to remove the pixelated edges and what not. I can assure you I stayed 100% true to the original idea though.

Ah no that's fine then, good to know the placement was okay
RWMT Jarama Testing Day Two - Bouchard goes fastest' Second test day brought some much needed clarity as to the strength between the teams. Camille Bouchard's 1:32.495 was enough to secure the top position on the chart, with the Hong Kong rider Lee Long just 0.005s behind looking like a strong contender for the Lone Rider Cup win. Lopez, who was the fastest man on track yesterday, ended up in 4th position, right behind his team-mate Strapoc. Jaropolk Petrovich, a 64-year-old rider from Russia, put on a strong performance, clocking the 8th fastest laptime on his All-Bran sponsored Honda.
RWMT Testing Day Three - Victory Club lives up to its name Hong Kong rider Lee Long goes fastest on the final day of testing. Lee's improvement was remarkable during the first two testing sessions, but trying on a new set of tyres and a few tweaks let Long take his Victory Club-liveried Yamaha round the track in 1:32.502 - slightly slower than yesterday's time, but a good run nevertheless. Right behind is the local rider, Restov Racing's Alejandro Lopez, followed by one of "Les Quebecoises" - Camille Bouchard and Lopez's team-mate Jakub Strapoc. Huge improvement in MotoTime Bandeirante, as Geraldo Lemos completed his fastest lap in 1:33.499 and finished a solid 8th.

The first test looked promising, now Ngendandumwe is making a good impression of a rejectful paydriver from a country you've probably never even heard of. Which is good, because that's what he was supposed to be in the first place.
Eurosport broadcast for the 1990 Mexican GP prequalifying: "The Life, it looked very lifeless yet again... in fact Bruno did one, slow lap"
Round of Australia cancelled, Estoril to take it's place On January 28th Head over Wheels Promotions announced that the Australian round of Rejects World Motorcycle Trophy will be replaced with the Round of Portugal held at Estoril, with logistics problem cited as the main reason.
HoWP released the updated round calendar, with the Portuguese venue in place of Phillip Island.
4-5 February - Round of Great Britain, Donnington 11-12 February - Round of Germany, Sachsenring 25-26 February - Round of Portugal, Estoril 4-5 March - Round of France, Circuit Paul Ricard 18-19 March - Round of San Marino, Imola 8-9 April - Round of Czech Republic, Brno 15-16 April - Round of Benelux, Assen 22-23 April - Round of Spain, Catalunya
The calendar needs some further reshuffling, I guess. One thing I can tell is that the series will begin in late March/early April and rounds will be more spreaded, let's say - one/two races a month. Watch this space for an update soon
Will this ever end? RWMT calendar gets another reshuffling treatment, HoW Promotions: "we are 100% sure this time"
After some teams raised concerns that the very short race calendar, that squeezed the whole 8-round series into a short, two-month period will cause major problems, Head over Wheels Promotions decided to further renegotiate the dates and presented the 2017 season race calendar in it's final shape.
18-19 March - Round of the Republics, Brno Circuit 8-9 April - Round of Great Britain, Donington 22-23 April - Round of Germany, Sachsenring 13-14 May - Round of France, Circuit Paul Ricard 3-4 June - Round of San Marino, Imola 24-25 June - Round of Benelux, Assen 22-23 July - Round of Spain, Catalunya 5-6 August - Round of Toscany, Mugello
With this calendar being confirmed as final, RWMT maiden season will kick off with a race in Czech Republic and conclude with an Italian race on Toscany-located Mugello circuit.

I got a bit carried away with the other series I have, but once I do the livery I'll show it. A more hi-res picture of that GT5 racing suit would help a lot, too.
Still waiting for other 2017 canon series to launch, here's another testing sesion
Bouchard still going strong First day of the second testing session held at Jarama brought no surprises as Camille Bouchard leads the way after day one. Quebec Equipe de Moto rider managed to do her fastest lap faster than both Restov Racing riders and Lee Long, who seems to be a strong contender for the Lone Rider Cup.
Round of the Republics: Restov riders unstoppable in qualifying Alejandro Lopez took pole for Round of the Republics, with Jakub Strapoc getting close enough to secure the front row for Restov Gazprom Racing bikes. Lone Rider Cup rider Lee Long managed to qualify in 3rd position ahead of one of fleur de lis liveried Yamahas ridden by Camille Bouchard.
Okay - I couldn't make the race work on Thursday, but I'll make it work today, so if you want to see something happening in this series, get in there at 9:00PM CET
Results will appear underneath post-race, so watch this space.
RWMT: Restov Racing dominates the Republics round at Brno Restov Racing effortlessly won the first round of RWMT, leading comfortably from the start to the finish line. Largely uneventful race, with most deciding events happening in the first few laps - including Jaropolk Petrovich retiring in the first corner. Meanwhile Peter O'Brien charged from 18th to finish 3rd. Lee Long didn't get any advantage from his front row start and eventually dropped two places, but kept it steady til the end and secured his fifth place.
RWMT: Hofmeister takes Donington by surprise Franz Hofmeister takes the lead in free practice session before the British round of RWMT. German rider managed to do his fastest lap on the drying track after torrential rain nearly flooded it in the first 20 minutes of this session. Surprises don't end there, as Xavier Desjardins and Geraldo Lemos came in a close 2nd and 3rd. Round of the Republics winner, Alejandro Lopez, struggled to find pace in the ever changing conditions and eventually ended up in 21st position.
RWMT: Lomas takes pole at Donington Rob Lomas Racing rider Graham Lomas has taken the qualifying session by storm, setting the fastest lap and therefore taking the first position for tomorrow's race. In other news, Geraldo Lemos and Vlastimir Brankovich, as well as Lopez and O'Brien, set exact same times and their placing had to be determined by the order of appearance. Another surprising result was Pawel Bukowski's 7th position just 0.001s ahead of Jean-Francois Deschenes.
RWMT: Lopez unstoppable in Donington Graham Lomas' lucky shot was not enough to secure a win. Low ticket sales and ex-IRDU employees' strike proved to be problematic, as two strikers disrupted the race by invading the track after three laps - the minute Alex Lopez took the lead. Before they were caught by security, most of the race distance had to be done behind the pace car. Eventually the last two laps were done in race pace, with a very close finish between Watson and Desjardins.
The outcome of this race was even more interesting further down the field. Burundi rider Ngendandumwe managed to score his first top 10 finish and first points for his team, as well as for MuZ - the German manufacturer managed to field just one bike. Jaropolk Petrovich - a true veteran of all things racing - managed to finish 15th and score his first point in RWMT.
Most teams expressed their disappointment with how HoW handled the situation in Donington and might reconsider their decision to enter the series for 2018 if the problem persists.
I'll go through the remaining six races as quickly as possible using Xkoranate - GP500 is a pain in the ass to set up in the right way. So here goes the Round of Germany!
RWMT: Villanueva up front in practice Alvarez Competicion has reasons to be pleased as Felix Villanueva went fastest in the free practice session before the Round of Germany. Alejandro Lopez was one of the fastest riders this weekend but had to pit in early after what seems to be an engine misfire.

RWMT: Villanueva qualifies on pole at Sachsenring Argentine rider managed to score his first pole-position in RWMT just minutes before the end of the session. Alejandro Lopez was far less succesful. Mechanics managed to replace the faulty engine in time for qualifying but puncture during his final outlap hampered his chances of a decent result.
RWMT: Hofmeister wins the Round of Germany After first two races, where his performance was far from impressive, Franz Hofmeister took all the opportunities he was given to take the checkered flag on home soil, winning the Round of Germany in a dominative fashion, retaining the lead from the first lap - Felix Villanueva's bike wobbled exiting the first corner and Equipe Gauthier's rider could easily get past the Argentine to put himself in front of the pack. Further down the field, Peter O'Brien and Filippe Corsini were battling intensely for 4th, with the Irishman nicking the higher spot from Italian rider on the last lap. Current championship leader Alejandro Lopez managed to finish 6th despite mechanical failures that marred his Saturday sessions. Egide Ngendandumwe impressed the crowds at Sachsenring - not only he managed to keep his MuZ on the track - he was closing in on Lopez and if it wasn't for the checkered flag, the young Burundian could have had an even more spectacular finish.
RWMT: Corsini fastest in practice Filippo Corsini was fastest in the practice session for the French round of RWMT. It put his Honda 0.03 seconds clear of Alvarez Competicion rider Felix Villanueva's eventual best effort. Villanueva edged out Jakub Strapoc by 0.201s. Current championship leader Alex Lopez managed to go for a few quick laps in the latter part of the session, enough to be 6th fastest.
1 Filippo Corsini (Dunlop Jones Motorcycle Competition) 1:24.200 2 Felix Villanueva (Alvarez Competicion) 1:24.230 3 Jakub Strapoc (Restov Racing) 1:24.431 4 Francois Olivier (Tomahawk Team Racing) 1:24.491 5 Franz Hofmeister (Equipe Gauthier) 1:25.093 6 Alejandro Lopez (Restov Racing) 1:25.325 7 Peter O'Brien (Union Saver Developments) 1:25.604 8 Rudolph Kehr (Union Saver Developments) 1:25.776 9 Franz Bauer (Loyer Racing Technologies) 1:25.872 10 Camille Bouchard (Québec Equipe de Moto) 1:26.425 11 Lee Long (Victory Club) 1:26.819 12 Xavier Desjardins (Quebec Equipe de Moto) 1:27.149 13 Graham Lomas (Rob Lomas Racing) 1:27.264 14 Steve Watson (Dunlop Jones Motorcycle Competition) 1:27.598 15 Ahmad Sastrio (Caraxl Indonesia Motors) 1:27.844 16 Jean-Francois Deschenes (Globex Equipe Gauthier) 1:27.952 17 Thomas Fuchs (Loyer Racing Technologies) 1:27.997 18 Egide Ngendandumwe (Burundi Road Racing) 1:28.189 19 Manny Marquez (Rob Lomas Racing) 1:28.394 20 Pawel Bukowski (Alvarez Competicion) 1:32.064 21 Geraldo Lemos (MotoTime Bandeirante) 1:32.264 22 Vlastimir Brankovich (Tomahawk Team Racing) 1:35.024 23 Jaropolk Petrovich (EuroBran Racing) 1:37.946
RWMT: Alex Lopez clinches pole position Alejandro Lopez has claimed pole position for the Round of France. The Restov Racing rider will share the front row with Jones Motorcycle Competition's Filippo Corsini and Alvarez Competicion's Felix Villanueva.
RWMT: Lopez wins in rainy France and increases the lead Spaniard Alex Lopez, on a Honda, won the rain-hit Round of France on Sunday, increasing his championship lead. In treacherous conditions in the fourth race of the season, Spanish championship contender maintained the lead for all of 31 laps, defending himself from Franz Bauer and Camille Bouchard. Czech rider benefited from numerous mistakes done by other competitors to find himself comfortably behind the leader, but could not make much from it as he had to stand his ground against the Quebecquoise.
