Spotters Guides : BTCC, WTCC, SCC and DTM (DTM added) - 10-Tenths Motorsport Forum

andy_b · 23 May 2007, 21:23

With the race season well underway, Ten-Tenths.com, SEATCupra.net and Andy Blackmore Design have updated and improved the 2007 Spotters Guide series.

Following feedback, we have split the BTCC and SCC Spotters Guides into separate pdf's which will help with print out clarity.

Each guide is available as a free downloadable PDF. While the guide is supplied in an A4 format, the PDF is designed so that you will be able to print it at A3 size or lager with little or no loss of quality.

The guide shows side views of each car with the main livery design, Driver, Team and Car details. Small logos (and small changes throughout the year) have been omitted to keep the file size manageable. We will update significant changes throughout the season as drivers and teams change, so make sure you bookmark this page and check for an update before you set off to the track...or your armchair!!

The guides are around 4Mb each, but we need to keep the quality. You will need Adobe Acrobat to view these guides.
___________________________________

We currently have the following Spotters Guides:-

BTCC Spotters Guide,
Last update May 23rd, in time for Croft. SEAT Cupra Championship has now been moved to a seperate sheet, so the BTCC cars are now bigger and more legible.

WTCC Spotters Guide,
Last Update, May 23rd, ready for the French round of the WTCC. The next update for this will probably be prior to Brands Hatch. NOTE: The entry list changes round by round due to 'National entries' so I've made a "Best guess" at this - As used by Sir Martin Haven of Eurosport

SEAT Cupra Championship(UK) Spotters Guide,
Last Update, May 23rd, in time for Croft. This is now on a seperate sheet to aid clarity.This will only be updated if a significant entry joins the series.

The BTCC, WTCC and SCC Spotters Guides are hosted by SEATCupra.net and are downloable HERE

DTM Spotters Guide
This will be ready for Brands and is currently Work in progress. These have come out very well, so make sure you grab a copy. This will be hosted by Fourtitude.com and as with the others, in conjunction with Ten-Tenths.

For the next day or so, its available on my site, HERE

(It will then be up on Fourtitude.com, so the link will change, although the content will not).

Any (major) errors, please drop me an email or PM, things like a small logo missing on the sill of a car doesnt count- I needed to keep the file size down!

Thanks to everyone who has helped with these. Credits appear on each guide. It is very much appreciated.

Lastly, remember, this is a free resource for Ten-Tenth and SEAT Cupra.net members. Don't abuse it by selling it on, using the images for anything else and anything marketing wise.

If you a team, driver or sponsor and want to use it (or a customised version) please send me an email. I don't bite.

Great work as always Andy - thanks

Splitting out the BTCC and SCC stuff has just made it better!

andy_b · 24 May 2007, 00:46

yes, we ended up cramming too much onto one sheet, with the additional entries to both series compared to 2006. This wasn't a problem on A3 or higher-end printers, but I would suspect most people would use home printers and clarity went AWOL then

BTW I don't have acrobat but can view the BTCC one but not the WTCC one.
Can there be a JPG version of the WTCC guide please

umm, so you dont have acrobat, but can view the BTCC one (and not WTCC - which works, just checked). Thats weird. Its password protected so teams dont nick my art (sadly I've seen three or four sponsorship proposals including a Manufacture, where people have extracted the line art).

If there is interest, I might do a JPEG version. Anyone else?

redshoes · 24 May 2007, 17:50

Andy, didn't you do a temp jpg of the first version of this year's BTCC guide? Maybe Capt VXR is looking at that.

Capt, why not just install Acrobat reader, it's a free download.

**Dani Filth** · 24 May 2007, 18:18

try Foxit Reader .. for me it's much better than Acrobat Reader ..

Foxit Reader 2.0 is a free PDF document viewer and printer, with incredible small size (only 1.5 M download size), breezing-fast launch speed and amazingly rich feature set. Foxit Reader 2.0 supports Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/2003/Vista. Its core function is compatible with PDF Standard 1.6.

OK Guys and girls an update (here, not on the Spotters Guides!)

BTCC - Rick Kerry is missing Oulton Park. The livery of the Black Lexi(!) will change as Monty's Millions did a runner!!! No idea if it will revert to the original scheme (which I believe is underneath the Black sticker) or stay with Black.

FYI: DTM is ready, just waiitng for Fouritude.com to get back to me

**touringlegend** · 2 Jun 2007, 14:37

Do you mean Croft with Rick Kerry, says he'll be back at Oulton.

Wow thanks again Andy. Your hard work is much appreciated. I love this kind of stuff. Any other series in the pipeline by the way?

andy_b · 7 Jun 2007, 17:26

not sure. I was planning on a champ car one, but havent really got around to it and now its June, so probably give that a miss. These take quite a while to complete, so have to juggle work a little now and then.

For those who need a JPEG version of the Spotters Guides, then I have placed them here http://andyblackmoredesign.deviantart.com/ Please note, these will not be updated during the season (unless I remember). This may help those will lower quality printers (as the minimum stroke of a line on a pdf can be a little thick)

I'd think a GT3 guide would be ideal. Same cars over and over, 3 car teams that have to have the same livery so only coloured strips etc. seperate, and 40+ cars making it hard enough to spot anyone!
