Further explanation of the theme, as chosen by our Week 8 Winner chromatic9:

The two eternal enemies to many of us raised on GT: Subaru vs Mitsubishi. While we most
often think of the McRae-piloted Scoobs and Mäkinen-helmed Evolutions, chromatic has not
specified models, so any car from either company will be eligible. Though just like previous
H2H weeks, you must pick ONE MAKE ONLY. The choice is yours!


CARS: Subaru or Mitsubishi cars only
LOCATIONS: any track
PHOTO TRAVEL: yes
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: see above

Yes, you read that right; no matter which of the two main comps you enter this week, you will not be facing off against chromatic9 in either poll; the guy ran off with both wins this week! Of note is that he also judged the last H2H poll in 2.0...
 
Ahhh the classic GT rivalry... hehe, I expect a lot of people are gonna enter this one! :D
 
Gonna be very very interesting again! I really would like to use an old GC8 but it's standard :/
 


Final Entry




Rev that is a cracking shot, ive tried to get the lighting just perfect for those types of shots, the underpass on Eiger and Super Speedway seem to provided the best place. Where was that taken?
 
Good eye! It's the tunnel at the end of Eiger Short. There must be a bug in adjusting the EV in there though, I put it at +5 and it really make no noticeable difference to leaving it at 0.

It does that for me too, it seems to be a tunnel thing. Except for SSR7 where it works as normal. It's little things like this that really bug me as they are stupidly easy to fix and it seems like PD simply couldn't be bothered. They probably decided to model another Skyline instead.

LOL looks like Moglet beat me to it. Might as well post this since I may not have time to shoot another one.

Not to mention what a P.I.T.A. it is to shoot during dawn/dusk on a custom track! :ouch:
