Note: If you can, when submitting the entry, please, submit the time on the video where that bit can be encountered (i.e. the Ford GT @ El Capitan (2.00) or the Audi R8 @ La Sarthe (2.04))

Good choice of theme. Just wished the video was a higher quality :lol:

Stupid question: Why are we reffering to cars as "he" and "him" instead of it? :lol:
 
:lol: I hate people who do that. Well, not hate people per se. I hate when they call cars "she".
 
Lol this is a good theme!

[I set pretty much the same theme three years ago or something. How the time flies...]

I might have a shot for this.

Indeed. I remember the first round of this.:)
 
He he, I think great minds think alike. :)👍
(And I thought I was being original…guess we can’t hope much with a 3/4 years old game…)
 

Final entry



Ford GT @ 0:58

Click for full size



The location at 0:58 is supposed to be the pits at Sarthe (I think) but since that's impossible to shoot I had to use another place to get the pic, I hope it's ok.

damn! atlop is that fish market??? :drool:
a m a z i n g !!! 👍
 
Does 'she' have to be the same color as in the video?? or can I use the Black Beauty 787B @ La Sarthe 2:02 (I think it's la sarthe)
 
Grump, yeah, you can use any colour. But the closest to the video, the better. 👍 (I think)

Atlop, when I got to that part in the video, I though the same thing, fish market. Yes, it is ok.

Bram, damn, how did you get that camera from citta di aria? It’s a struggle to get a good shot from that track…

Really? I think Aria has some great camera angles. I just had to find a good one :) I visit this track far too little. I remember Moglet's entry with a Celica Rally Car at this track. My god what an aweosme shot that was 👍

Thanks for the comments chaps 👍
 
FINAL ENTRY
Skyline GT-R @ The Nurburgring (3.03)


 
I think he means use a different model of the same car, such as the Zonda C12 instead of a C12S, or a 106 Rallye instead of an S16.

EDIT- Great shot, Mog!
 
Yeah by the exact model I meant the normal Ford GT instead of the racing one. I didn't have many of the cars shown in the intro so decided to go with the Skyline instead.
 
You can when they are the same type, like different models but both road car, or race cars. You can’t, if the car shown is race and you put there a road version of it.
 
I've got to say I'm really liking PD's in-game tone filters. The Ford Model T turned out really good, and so did the Lancia with the monochrome tone (or whatever it's called, when you press triangle once). I'll definitly be using GT4's in-game filters more often 👍
