Hi and welcome again to some more news about wips and planned releases!
You probably noticed that the february schedule changed a bit: I worked hard on my first car, it took time but the results are better than expected (please remember to share your feedback :)

So here's my idea for March:

Cerrina Race Track - coming this week
This is kart (and track days) track.
Relatively simple, it has a nice curvy layout that it's perfect for kart races but if you are skilled enough could be used for drift too.
It has most of the CSP features: RainFX, GrassFX, better shaders, custom captured asphalt textures (with my drone), a race display, race start lights and a car animation.

Subaru Impreza VT15R v.0.6
Many changes for the Subaru are coming! I reworked many textures and materials.
Now we have some PBR Materials (CSP Materials) for metal, chrome, rims and better lights.
Lights have been reworked and I'm adding usable CSP turning lights and reverse lights.
For the interior, I baked the window reflection and added a bit of dirt to the windows.
As for customization, you can now edit your skin with the Paint Shop CM feature.
This allows you to easily change colors for:
Car Paint, Botton Strip, Rims, Calipers, Front grille, Roll cages, Windscreen banners, and even glass!

"The Ruffin"
Let's call this... "Ruffin", for now.
I started working on a new car based from a Kunos car.
It's a more modern version, with a really cool widebody kit.
I'm sure you would like to take some pictures and drive that beast, but it's still too early to talk about it. For now we have a new spoiler, grills, some "window vents" and 4 exhaust pipes.

Import bpy
Not that correlated to cars and tracks, but I'm starting to learn something about Python,
the programming language used by Blender, to improve and speed up my workflow for future releases.
