You may have recently seen that since custom liveries launched in June, more than 93,000 of them have been uploaded into LMU to race with. So it’s time to up the ante and bring a fully fledged Livery Hub to help manage, simplify and expand the use of liveries in LMU. See it as the Trading Paints of LMU, but better!
Alongside LMU already improving the custom livery features, now with custom race numbers and accessibility in any offline or online session, Livery Hub makes it possible to share, find and set all liveries, made public by livery creators, to your teams and line-ups for you to use in an instant – yes, they get automatically assigned in-game via Livery Hub!
Home Page
On the home page of Livery Hub, you’ll be greeted by the Discover page. This is where you will find all sorts of options and a plethora of liveries to choose from, with a whole host of category options available to you.
Community Favourites, Fresh Paints, Popular Categories and Exploring by Classes will show you all of the beautiful liveries created by various painters and people who have uploaded their schemes for you to use.
Explore By Class
Livery Hub is also able to sort all liveries on the site by the classes available in the WEC and ELMS. This will make it easier for you to filter through to the exact livery for the exact car you want to race.
See Popular Categories
You’ll be able to simplify your search for a livery via the Popular Category section. This area will segregate liveries on Livery Hub into Replica, Fantasy and Esports. See it as any livery used from the real world from any discipline of motorsport, your funny Peppa pig or Sponge Bob liveries and then the famous esports liveries you may have seen in competitions such as Williams, BS+ or MOUZ esports, if they choose to upload them.
Search All
When you choose to Search for a livery from the header of Livery Hub, you’ll be taken to the global search page, where every livery on the site will sit. You can quickly sort by newest or most popular, or you can enhance the search via the filters available. These include by Class, Manufacturer, Car and Tag.
Applying Liveries
When you’ve found a livery you like, it’s as simple as 3 clicks. Click on a livery you like. Click to assign it to your team. Click to assign it to a line-up. It’s then ready to race, and that’s it. You can then load up LMU and find the livery set in your team, ready to use in any single player practice, race weekend, online lobby or online competitions. Previously, you had to go into the game itself to do this, but now Livery Hub bypasses this.
The beauty of Livery Hub is that you can save and assign 1 or 100 liveries to your team for you to use whenever you like. Once assigned to your team, they will stay there until you decide to delete them. Just remember, every time you assign a new livery to an existing car, it will replace the current one you are racing with.
You Need Pro or Pro+
For those new to the custom liveries feature, please keep in mind that you must be a RaceControl Pro or Pro+ subscriber, which covers the maintenance of the infrastructure used to create the UI imagery on the fly and automatically transfer liveries to all players, to use these liveries in-game.

Livery Creator
If you’re a livery creator on LMU, nothing changes for you; you follow all the steps you have always done in creating liveries for LMU. The only extra caveat you have now is making these liveries public via your profiles for everyone to use via Livery Hub, if you so wish.
You always have to upload the livery into the LMU game first, so it’s on the systems. From this, the photos you see in Livery Hub are completely auto-generated, so you don’t have to worry about taking any specific images of it for the site.
Not In A Team
We know there will be many of you enjoying LMU who are not part of any team currently. But you don’t need to miss out on racing with your favourite livery because of this.
All you have to do is create a brand-new team in-game that can have just yourself in it. Just make sure you create the individual line-ups with you in them. This way, you will still be able to assign any liveries you like to any cars you race.
