Please, ensure you read and understand all requirements for this competition. Failure to follow
the rules may result in disqualification. If you have questions, ask me via a Conversation.
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-GT6 editing, besides proportional resizing and rotating, 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.
  • 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.
  • 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!

That livery was used by Team Lotus in races where there was a ban on tobacco advertising. Otherwise the standard John Player Special (not Team Lotus Special) livery was used. ;)
 
In a 3.0 Photomode Competition I would appreciate changing GT6 basics to original liveries like JPS for Lotus or Silk Cut for Jaguar XJR-9 LMS ... Not to forget the AUDI RALLY CARS showing HB tobacco advertising. You cannot retouch history. Joseph Stalin did...and he was not alone. Unfortunately.
I do not mean to support advertising for tobacco and alcoholic drinks on racecars nowadays, but, in the history of Motor sports we had sponsorship like that. No reason to conceal...

I totally agree!! I find it insulting that on SKY Sports, they have taken to blurring tobacco/alcohol logos on vintage podium and driver overall shots. Why? Talk about closing the stable door well after the horse has bolted!
 
FYI... In the '85 Belgian GP the lotus has the snorkel side pods and the JPS logo on the tail.
If you wanted to be historically accurate...:D

here is Senna commentating on the '85 Belgian GP win, period quality, but you can see the car details on certain shots.

Just sayin...:)
