Ford Escort Mk2 - KELLY / KELLY - Luso Bussaco 2022 (v1.3)

Skin updated 2023-06

This is my first attempt at a skin - As reference I used Kelly's Escort Mk2 from the 2022 Portugal Luso Bussaco rally (Frank Kelly Rallying YT video). Some smaller stickers are missing, and I took some creative liberties with a couple items, but 100% accuracy wasn't the point of this livery.

The underglow was not something I thought to add (or think was possible in Richard Burns Rally) until someone made a joke about it missing blue LEDs. Several hours of messing about in the INI files/checking in-game (and 85+ additional lightpoints later) and I had something that looked like it could pass as underglow after multiple revisions...

I've included the following underglow options: 
🔹Rear-only (As Kelly had it in the rally - this is activated by default with headlights on)
🔹Full (Because why the hell not!)
The standard headlights and extra-light options are also available, so there's plenty of choice!

Install Instructions:
1)
Extract zip into RBR main directory (Underglow Rear + Lights are ON by default)
2) Put some gravel tyres on Baby Blue and slide that escort on the tarmac!

To change the headlight/underglow options:
1) Copy the pair of ini files located inside the '~Underglow Options' folder or one of the standard lights folders (i.e. 'light_off') and overwrite the two ini files in the 'Escort_mk_2' folder.

Special thanks to Janne for his tutorials and all who helped with basic GIMP skills.

Toyota Celica GT-Four ST185 - FUJIMOTO / HERTZ - Rally Indonesia 1996

When I first saw this colourful and unique livery on the Passats de Canto YouTube video of the 1996 Rally Indonesia (YouTube Video, also seen @11:48, 22:38, 25:09, 26:49), I immediately had the urge to re-create it for RBR. Minor compromises were made with model/template issues but I am proud of the final result:
