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!

  • 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.
  • 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 15. Every fourth
    week, the poll will be H2H style: entries must choose a "team", leading to two 8-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!

  • Remove items from shot (scenery, other cars).
  • Use more than 1 image (HDR, photo-stitching, multi-exposure).
  • "Creative cropping". The main "image" must be four-sided, with 90-degree, upright corners.
  • Selective car colour changing: masking different parts to create racing stripes or similar.

What you may do to a photo:
  • Crop and/or resize an image.
  • Adjust the level or curve values.
  • Alter the colour tone of the image (gradient maps, photo filters, colour balance, etc).
  • Car body colour change (all stickers/design features must remain, see "Remove Items" rule).
  • Adjust brightness, contrast, exposure, shadow/highlights.
  • Enhance shadows or highlights (dodge and burn tools in Photoshop, for example).
  • Add noise and/or diffuse glow.
  • Add a post-game tilt-shift blur, or apply a motion blur to a stationary Photomode shot.
  • Make use of Layer Blend Modes.
  • Use a Sharpening filter and/or tool.

Competition News:

We have a special additional rule this week, folks:

You may place a white circle with a number on the side of the car in your image editing program of choice. Chromatic would like to see some authenticity here though, so edit wisely!
 
Missing cars:
- Lotus Elan S1 ’62
- Mini Marcos GT ’70
- Thriumph Spitfire (though just '74 in game…)
 
You can have any number of cars listed in the shot.

Lotus Elan in game is the soft top version I believe.

Mini Marcos I'd like to have in but would prefer to see it with a number on.

Spitfire, wasn't sure if the there is much difference to the earlier version but again I would like to see a number on it like this.

You don't have to put a number on but its a bit random seeing a normal car like the Spitfire or Marcos. I wasn't sure if SlipZ would allow it.

SlipZ, can we add
Spitfire 74 which is from 1970-1974 and very similar to the 60s versions
Mini Marcos GT 70

Like I say, its not a strict requirement but if someone wants to stray from the Ford MK IV or 330 P4 and "Le Man up" a normal car in the game with just the number graphic, not the yellow markings on the hood it would be most welcome.

When there's only the front of the car to be seen in a shot, I guess it's okay to paint the number on the front hood…
 
sounds more like a photoshop comp to me. i wouldn't have a clue how to put a number on a car
 
Great theme - lots of nostalgia for those cars and Le Mans. I hope I can get on the game and whip something up!
 
And i thought i had a good 1 lol. Very nice mate loving that a lot 👍

Final entry

You don't have to, there's the 330 P4, Ford MKIV, Toyota 7, chaparral 2J,2D, Alfa TZ2 and GT40.

It's just an option for anyone to make the E-Type more fitting to the theme rather than looking like a normal road car. I doubt many or anyone will bother but its a very simple graphic addition option.
