About this paint

When I was looking for pictures of the Gold Leaf Lotus 49, I came across a small B&W picture of some mechanics working on the car in the pits at Jarama, but it is not the same as the car photographed in the race. I have since found out this was wrongly identified as Jarama; it was in fact from Monaco. I think the confusion was because the picture showed Hill's helmet and Jackie Oliver drove the same car with the same number there, with only a couple of small changes; the Autolite decals are in a (slightly) different position and the Union flag has I'm Backing Britain written down the centre Like when Hill drove it in New Zealand and Jarama. Also, as with Hill's 49B, the STP decals have Shell ones in their place. I had (wrongly) assumed both Gold Leaf cars raced at Monaco were 49Bs, whereas it was only Hill that had the B. As with my other Gold Leaf cars this paint comes with a custom spec map; the paintwork has a high gloss with the metallic gold trim, and the decals have a less polished finish. I have updated this paint to add the holes identified in the Adrian Newey repaint. I have also made changes to the tittle and text of the paint and redone the screenshots to show all the updates. iRacing have updated the spec map so this car now has a matt finish. I have edited the spec map to return the gloss paintwork. I have also redone the spec map and adjusted the repaint to make use of the new features. The new effects are best seen in motion, but I have updated the bottom screenshot.
