What if Ferrari started an IndyCar team? Just yesterday (14/05) they confirmed that they're investigating the possiblity of entering the IndyCar series. Well, I've imagined what it could look like, as a set of skins for the brilliant RSS Formula Americas 2020 mod. You can buy the car here.
This skin pack features rims and Firestone tyres by @Mahad - you can download other variants of these here. Helmets are also included - basic ones made by myself (or plucked from AC's default options) and also the Sirotkin helmet by @Marco17_ok that features in this pack. Low res versions of the skins are not currently included - I intend to include them in a future update.
How to install? It's easy - just drop the "content" folder into your Assetto Corsa directory.
If you love these skins enough to make some cool content with them - videos, screenshots etc. - I'd love to see them, so give me a shout!

You might notice that, for the most part, the sponsors are generally those common to Ferrari's F1 and GTE programmes, plus IndyCar series sponsors. There are 4 variants of the Ferrari livery included in this pack;
- #36 Antonio Giovinazzi - This is based upon the F1 livery, with Mission Winnow logos on a red & black colour scheme. With no spaces in Ferrari's F1 team and the driver academy looking to promote new talent into F1, Gio is transferred over to the IndyCar squad. With the number 99 already taken in IndyCar, the number 36 (which he used in 2017) is chosen instead.
- #35 Sergey Sirotkin - This has some influence from Ferrari's GTE liveries, which feature more white and SMP Racing Blue. Recent F1 driver Sergey Sirotkin is given the nod here to justify the SMP Racing logos, and conveniently his F1 number, 35, is available in IndyCar.
- #37 Sebastien Bourdais - A retro-themed livery, harking back to Ferrari's 80s and 90s F1 cars, but with the modern-day equivalent sponsors. I've imagined that Ferrari puts on an extra car to accommodate the 4-time Champ Car champ part-time. 37 happens to be the first number which Bourdais raced in an Indy 500 with.
- #64 Matthew Allington - Blatant self-insert!! Inspiration taken from Ferrari's tobacco-free liveries from the early 2000s. The number 64 has some personal significance to me, but 1964 was also the year when Ferrari infamously (and temporarily) rebranded the F1 team as an American outfit.
