Further explanation of the theme, as chosen by bmxmitch:

"I know everyone misses the Porsches in GT5. It's the biggest gab GT still has...at least for me.
And yeah yeah, everyone may know it already, I like the RUFs, a lot.
Now I wanna see what you create with that beauty!
A shame we only get standard versions of them though. But due the fact this week is a
2.0 Comp, I'm sure you all make the RUF look smexy as hell!"

CAR: RUF BTR '86
LOCATION: Nurburgring Nordschleife (Time change)

Since the car this week is a standard, not everyone is likely to have one - therefore it would be greatly appreciated if those who have one or more could set one to online status so others can 'borrow' it for a photo shoot.
If you can please post a note in here with your PSN Id so others know they can use them.

Thank you.
 
I got 2 BTRs in my garage. Going to set them both online tomorrow.
So, if anyone wants to have a black or blue one, feel free to add me. ;)

and yes yes I know, it's the Nordschleife again:boggled:, but this car needs to be driven on that track:dopey:
 
Nice theme. I think I have one or two of them. If I have two I will put one of them online. 👍
 
Now I'm out. :lol:
That is a fantastic shot zambuca. Should easily get into the poll with that. 👍
 
i have every Ruf inmy garage if needed , just ask for it :)

iam glad this week is 2.0
cheers
 
^if it weren't a 2.0 comp, I wouldn't have chose the car for you guys. Its not fun without editing.....doesn't count for the driving though ;)
 
Just a quick question are we allowed to use the 24h layout so long as the photo is taken somewhere on the Nordschleife section, I don't want to use the normal Nordschleife (Time Change) because I don't want rain ruining my photo and it could take X number of laps to figure out where the best shot could come from.

hmmmm, I prefer to see shots on the actual Nordschleife, but also the dry version. So if its easier to get on a dry track at the 24h version, I would say yes.
But at the same time, its pretty easy to get the actual Nordschleife without rain, just try and select the track. If your tire choice is set on rain tires, go back to the track selection and look again. If there are your racing or sport tires now, you will race on a dry track. Just try it ;)

Thanks ashes :) Everybody loves this car, so I'm sure there will be a lot of competition this week. Happy driving to all of you - and remember to give this baby a new set of racing tires if you wanna make a full lap at the ring ;)

Ah but after a preliminary scouting run on the 24h course some of the scenery is slightly different I had forgotten to take that into account but that could also have a bearing in the photo possibly maybe, Adding to that the 24h version has no weather change so no chance of sudden downpour :sly:, Sounds like its allowed by you though and for that thank you sir ;)
 
As long as it is on the Nordschleife, it should be fine! In my opinion though...;)


Also, I put my 2 RUFs online. If anyone needs or wants one, feel free to use them :)
 
I have a RUF online if anyone needs it. 👍

EDIT : And thanks bmxmitch for making me use this car. I really like drifting in it and is my new go to drifting car. :D
