About this mod Machine translation
Always wanted to do this...and since Rockstar missed the chance to do it, it's my turn!
For those of you who have played Daytona USA by Sega (or are Sega fans in general), Hornet High-Class needs no introduction, but don't think of it as Hotring Saber's Livery, which is a bit of a letdown, so... I headed off on a mission to recreate Hornet's paint scheme, but at the same time, make it a lore-friendly paintjob, something you'd see in the game.
All of the sponsors are standard in the GTAV world, and to truly be true to the original Daytona USA cars, I also made my version more prominent with logos, such as:
- Hornet's name has been changed to Saber (for obvious reasons)
-The Bonnet/Hood logo now has two crossed sabers, in the same style (more or less) as the original logo
- Since the Hotring Saber belongs to the sports car category, it makes sense to change "premium" to "sport class"
-Trunk "Gallop Racing" logo has been changed to "Hayes Auto Shop" (an in-game sponsor) and altered to look as close to the original version as possible
Installation directory:
Just replace the provided file (hotring_livery2.yft) with:
update/x64/dlcpacks/mpassault/dlc.rpf/x64/levels/mpassault/vehiclemods/hotring_mods.rpf
Painting.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
