Further explanation of the theme, provided by GT HP Nut:

"This week, the focus lies on the weight but not the power. Take any road car which has a power output of less than 300 HP and weighs less than 1050 KG to any track and give it a thrash around the corners. Let's see what the lightweights can do!"


CARS: Any road car below 300 HP and 1050 KG
LOCATIONS: Any - see the line below for further instructions.
PHOTOTRAVEL: No.
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: Car(s) must be in motion.

Please, ensure you read and understand all requirements for this competition. Failure to follow
the rules may result in disqualification. If you have questions, send me a Private Message.
This Thread will answer many possible questions you may have.

  • It is recommended you host your image on ImageShack,
    Photobucket, or Flickr.
  • Not sure how to post a thumbnail or preview image?
    Read this sticky!
  • Please use a clickable-preview to full-size, not a separate text link for it;
    it makes poll creation much easier!

  • No post-GT5 editing, besides proportionally resize and rotate, is allowed.
    [*]One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a comp.
    [*]Do not ask other users to choose your entry.
    [*]Absolutely no hybrid, hacked cars, or cars obtained through such means.
    [*]Mark your FINAL ENTRY clearly, with red text. On H2H weeks, which side, as well.
    [*]You may change your entry once. Do it clearly; edit out your previous entry, and
    either post the new one in a new reply, or in place of the original.
    [*]When submitting, use either a thumbnail or a preview image, linked to the full-sizer.
    [*]Preview images can not exceed 500 pixels in either direction.
    [*]A preview image must be representative of the full-size image. Do not add effects to it.
    [*]Do not post "Honourable Mentions" or outtakes - just your Final Entry, that's all.
    [*]Winner gets to choose the following week's theme, as well as the Top 25. Every fourth
    week, the poll will be H2H style: entries must choose a "team", leading to two 12-picture,
    4-day polls. The winners from each faces off in a final 48 hour poll.
    [*]Winners cannot enter in their own theme!
    [*]The Host may ask for the original image and it must be submitted if so.
    It's recommended to save the original image (preferably in-game) until week's ends.
Failure to follow these rules will result in ignored entries and/or disqualification!

Can we detune the engine?

I forgot to mention it in the PM to SlipZ, but no, the cars must fit the power and weight restrictions when they are stock. That means you can't limit the power of a Lamborghini Miura to 300 HP and use it for this competition. It also applies to any other cars.
 
Just to make sure, does this mean we can't use a fully tuned car that still mets restrictions, like a race moded suzuki cappuccino?

What I mean is that the cars must meet the restrictions when stock, and they must still meet the restrictions after tuning and during the photoshoot.

A race modified car won't meet the restrictions as it's not a road car anymore.
 
Final Entry


850 kg with about 200 bhp...

Don't want to see such a good picture not being able to enter the competition.👍

Yeah, I'll change it. I've used different colored "Final Entry" text a lot of times before without problem, though.
 
Ahhhh, come on people. Does it really matter if the text is red, blue, pink or whatever?
As long as it is clearly marked as Final Entry you should be good. I never heard a judge say "I can't include his shot, because the text was blue" :rolleyes:
 

Final Entry



NA Miata. 160hp, 950kg and a front lip. Perfect. :D

Noted.

Next time I'll make sure to remind myself to stop being a smart ass and help somebody out of good faith. A friendly reminder to avoid the slight chance that their submission would be ignored due to a small deviation from the rules listed.

Since the judges are fine with it then I'm fine too.
Feel free to use any colour you please.
 
No, it's good that you remind people, we just don't think that rule is needed. :D
