Liveries without licensed sponsors can always be included. For example a pure Martini livery without sponsors can be easily included, or a simple matte black skin with some DiRT Rally stickers in a lighter black on it. Liveries don't start or end at licensed ones only.
Not true. We couldn't put the Martini stripes into the game without permission from Martini as they hold the rights. At this stage we are unable to agree terms but we are still trying. Separate to that we couldn't write Martini on the livery because it is an alcohol brand and that is a restriction placed on video games.
Never would've imagined they would actually trademark the stripes... But then how can they even prove it's "their stripes"? It's not like only they use that kind of style of stripes in liveries (Viper GTS-R Team Oreca comes to mind immediately). Also I assume it's the restriction in UK? Never heard about alcohol brand not being allowed to be put into video games in Poland for example.
