Here goes a funny story on my livery creation journey I’d like to share with you guys. Back when GT7 was only about a week old, I made up a fictional Minolta livery for the JGTC Supra, trying to imagine how a “Minolta TOM’S Supra” would turn out to be if it existed back then.

As you can see, it has a pretty straightforward design and color scheme that fits the era, that was my idea. If you know a little bit more about JGTC you’ll certainly spot something familiar: I took heavy inspiration from the Denso SARD livery, also from 1997, basically just changing the colors and adapting the sponsor decals.

Alright, so everything seemed pretty normal until I found out many people were replicating my fictional Minolta Supra. This had me laughing for a few minutes because I have the impression they’re unaware it’s not a real livery.

Some even replicated it with my personal number (#57), adding to my theory that people didn’t realize it never existed. I counted a total of 10 players that came up with the exact design, surely not a coincidence at this point.
So, if any of these 10 players are reading this, thank you for paying tribute to my livery, I had a blast making this! (Even though you probably had no idea it was fictional and a creation of mine. 🤣)
Here’s the link to the original livery I created on March 10, 2022.
