GT4 Photomode 2.0 Advanced Competition wk. 9

GT4 Photomode 2.0 Advanced
Higher quaility. Harder to win. Can you make the top ten?​


Week 7 winner boganbusman







This week’s theme will be "King of the Mountain" as chosen by week 7 winner boganbusman.


Further explanation of theme:

Inspired by the upcoming Bathurst 1000 race, I want to see I6 (inline-6) and V8 (vee-8) race cars only, at any one of these tracks which feature a more than average change in elevation, and that remind me of the mighty Mount Panorama circuit:
Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca
Trial Mountain Circuit
Deep Forest Raceway
El Captain
Midfield Raceway






Winner will select the top 10 for the poll and pick the theme for the following week.

Sweet.
And I'll say now before I forget:

Things that I'm looking for include
-high quality and originality (of course)
-and extra marks for recreating part of the Bathurst circuit. I don't know if this is actually possible but I'm sure you geniuses can figure out something 💡
 
Gotta play TOCA Race driver 2 to get the feeling of bathurst
Good theme 👍
 
There's elevation changes out of the ordinary on Midfield? :odd:

Anyway, already got an idea. 👍
 
It's not red, white and blue, nor is it red and white... but it's as close as one can get.

Final Entry
 
nice shot punkrock, reminds me of the down hill section just before conrod straight... 👍
 
Doesn't Suzuka compare to Midfield in terms of elevation change? But my guess is you're picking Midfield because of that steep section before the main straight :D

no race cars based off of concept cars?
Correct.

Also correct.
The 'ring also has a massive change in elevation (300m) but it doesn't remind me of the Bathurst track when I drive on it.
That was the general idea behind my track selection.


Anyway, I see some great shots here, lets keep 'em coming 👍
 
I see. So basically, you are exactly looking for: a sudden, steep elevation change. 👍 (and ofcourse an attempt to make ot look like bathurst)
Sounds like fun!

Great theme with the big race coming up next weekend!

For those not familliar with the Mt. Panorama (Bathurst) circuit this page shows the layout of the track along with relevant photos.

I think that the Forza guys created the Blue Mountains Raceway in accordance to Bathurst. It has a lot of similarities with it's tight, hilly terrain. Cool track though!

And also, I may disappear for while due to the fact that Socom 3 will be coming out a week from Tuesday, and 360 will be coming out a month after that! Gota love Socom Online!👍
 
This is tough
Its really hard to capture Bathurst in GT4 while maintain originality
guess I need more time on this
 
Div is back
Is Barthust in a Autumn environment?

the grass might be alittle brown though.... we are suffering a pretty bad drought in New South Wales at the moment.
 
Edit: I thought my last one looked a little too similar to another entry so I thought I'd change it.....
