Offroad cars. Dirt. Crests. We need more rally action! Livery and image by @CroxSkin - (click for full-size)
This Fortnight's Theme
We've seen a lot of good asphalt racers so far. LMPs, old GT classics, track day cars.. Let's take it to the dirt! We'll let @CroxSkin explain:
Now that we’ve covered most things in tarmac racing, let’s make some rally cars for this round. If you were to enter any off-road or rally events in the world, what would your team race car look like? You most certainly can enter with a Gr.B car, but you may also enter with other grades car as long as it allows you to equip it with dirt wheels.
CARS: Any Gr.B cars or cars with the "dirt wheels" option
LIVERIES: Yes
USER MADE DECALS: Yes
LOCATIONS: Shiretoko for the main pics
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: One bonus image of your car on dirt/gravel/snow/sand

4) Zoom in to 102mm (certain cars may require more or less to fit in the viewfinder) and move the camera until you're happy that the car is centred in the shot:

5) Move the focus to the nearest corner of the car (I normally centre on the headlamp closest to the centre of the image) and take your shot.
6) For a shot of the rear, go back to the Car tab and hit R2, switch to Camera and refocus (again I use the tail lamp nearest the centre) and take the shot. If the car has moved off-centre then move the viewfinder and adjust the zoom as you see fit.
For new cars/liveries simply find the scape in your library and reopen and change the car, then rinse and repeat as above.
