That doesn't look like the week 19 winner at all...

I think this is a great theme. Not sure about having a pace car though.

 

[yellomello]

I'm going to take photo soon

 

[Rossticles]

Not being realistic in this picture is going to kill it for me. I've seen so many pictures around here of two Ferrari F1s with the same T-cam. Anyone care to take a lap around any of these circuits with one Ferrari F1 and another SLS AMG let me know.

Nice start. Just realized that it is PMC so I can't edit any of my pics outside of GT5

 

[Captain Slovv]

Aargh, I was about to post something but then realized that Fuji isn't allowed....

 

[ashes619]

We are allowed to take pictures of a wet race, aren't we? I have saved my replay of a race in the rain but I am not taking any pictures of it until tomorrow. Not that you needed to know.

What is a T-Cam? People keep mentioning it but I've never heard of it before.

I think it's the TV cam. It's roof cam in GT5.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Not being familiar with F1 much, I assume the T-cam is the little T right behind the driver's head. It's different for each driver on the Ferraris, and even though I don't watch much, I'll admit it's a weird annoyance when I see pictures

Great idea to allow the safety car. I hope there will be some pictures with it 👍

 

[dennisp83]

How does the safety car thing work in GT5 ? I've never seen it on track...

 

[ceiling_fan]

I'm guessing you have to do it in 2 player... but I don't have the car anyway

 

[C-ZETA]

I have the Pace Car if anyone wants it. Straight from the UCD but undriven and fully restored if my memory serves me correctly.

I also have all three of the cars allowed here in my garage, I'm willing to let anyone of you borrow them.

Final Entry

​

It´s the camera above the airbox which provides this camera angle when you watch F1 on TV (as seen in this picture). Driver with the lower number on the car (on the F2007 it´s the 5, on the F10 it´s the 7) has a red T-Cam, the driver with the higher number on the car a yellow one. Just go into the show room and change liveries of the F2007 and F10 and you´ll see it. (When you see it, you´ll **** bricks sorry, I couldn´t resist )

How does the safety car thing work in GT5 ? I've never seen it on track...

Get an SLS AMG or the Gran Turismo Skyline Pace Car, send it on the track with one of the three F1 cars. Obviously it´s better having the Skyline Pace Car because of it´s lights. Shame that there is no safety car edition of the SLS

Great theme by the way

 

[ashes619]

How do you guys think the filtered pictures would work on this theme. I for one am on the border line between both and don't know if I should use filters or not.

 

[dennisp83]

Ok, well I have the Skyline Pace Car but I don't think I'm gonna use it anyway. Thnx for explaining 👍

[Jacob]

I'll start off with this shot, but I'm sure I'll change it at some point.

Final Entry
for now... *cough*

​

Will change if I can get a good Safety Car shot

As an F1 enthusiast, I have a question to the judge of this weeks theme.

In 2007 the F1 Japanese Gran Prix took place at the Fuji Speedway instead of Suzuka Circuit. Shall we still use the F2007 at Suzuka or are you going to make an exception and allow us to drive the F2007 at Fuji?

I'll start off with this shot, but I'm sure I'll change it at some point.

I have an idea what you were trying to do but somehow the nose of the F10 isn´t that photogenic at all

Tried similar shots already and they didn´t work at all

 

[CCShaft7]

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think Nurburgring is on this years calandar... don't believe its been there for a couple of years actually. I think Fuji should be included on this basis alone.

EDIT: I just remembered Indiannapolis as well, that was dropped after 2007 as well I understand.

It´s been in the calendar in 2007, 2009 and 2011... Which puts up the question whether it´s appropriate to have an F10 at the Nurb... And if so there also should be only the F2007 and the FGT at Indy Difficult to decide on that.

Yeh thats right I think it alternates with Hockenheim... thanks for correcting me 👍

Would like to see Fuji and Indy road course included though.

YW, a few years ago they races both tracks, GP of Germany & Europe. Hockenheim is also one of my favorite tracks!!

Would like to see Fuji and Indy road course included though.

And Spa Francorchamps please

Problem is that the Nurb has never seen an F10 on it... Anyway, Im waiting for the judge to decide on that.

And Spa Francorchamps please

If it was in the game...

Oh now I see, yes that's correct.
Let's wait on the judge then
