These cars use 1960's bias-ply tires, so don't be afraid to get them a bit sideways. It's faster.
Much like the tires, the brakes are also from the 1960's. You'll need to brake way earlier than your average GT3 so figure it out before you go plowing into half the field in turn 1.
Skin Submission
When setting up your .veh, change the CATEGORY= at the bottom from whatever car you stole it from to: OVGTRANS-AM. It makes the skin pack look neater with your own liveries in one category. Make my life easier and set up your .zip that you email as [car folder name]\[your name].
The DefaultLivery= line should be [the name of your dds].dds
Make sure you uncomment the Category line. (Remove the // before Category.)
Any skin submitted after 03:00 UTC on each Saturday will not be accepted into that week's skin pack, unless you feel like bugging me about it on Mumble because then I'll probably wait.
Read the Google doc for the email.

Secret Tech
Congratulations for reading this far down. You now have The Unfair Advantage™.
If you're planning to use the 1967 or 1968 Chevrolet Camaro, either pick one of the Sunoco-Penske default liveries, or if you're making your own skin, make sure your .veh references the 67MaroPenske.hdv. That Camaro, like the one in real life, weighs less and makes more horsepower than the other 1967 and 1968 Camaros.
