🏆 Paint of the Week

We’ve seen a lot of lovely new RAM trucks on the track since the new iRacing build. Justin T Wilkinson shared this gorgeous Mopar-adorned RAM, earning the title of Paint of the Week from our Community Manager, Patrick.


🙌 Community Shoutout: BIG EVIL Racing 2026 RAM template add-ons

Our friends at BIG EVIL Racing often create and share template add-ons for the exceptionally detail-minded of us. They worked their usual magic on the new RAM truck with a special version of the painting template that adds some new NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series-realistic layers for even deeper accuracy.

Just uploaded another update to the 2026 RAM Template! The GOAT of Dodge template making, Zone15 has graced us with a grille blackout layer, as seen on the Kaulig Trucks. @steve7151.bsky.social went to work this week and created a LAYERED contingency lack to use, as well as the Kaulig set

The team also recently updated their 2026 IndyCar template enhancements.
