This week, we will pay a tribute to the seventies. Last winner @GTRacer22 set this theme, here are the details :
« The late 1970s saw some of the craziest silhouette racers come to fruition in the Group 5 category. From the famous Porsche 935 to the loud and rumbling Greenwood Corvette, these racers tore up racetracks around the globe with their meaty rear tires and over exaggerated bodywork. Something about these cars just makes me fall in love... they're loud and obnoxious, and they light up the tires in 3rd gear - I could go on forever!
Your task this week is to take this classic and unforgettable time period in motorsports and bring it into the 21st Century through the means of modern race machinery. »

- You have to make one post with ONLY the 4 pictures and the FINAL ENTRY mark. If you want to add precisions/background story/links, you are allowed to double-post under your entry. The best way to do it will be to "reply" to your own post.

- A preview image must be representative of the full-size image. Do not add effects to it.
- Please use a clickable-preview to full-size, not a separate text link for it; it makes poll creation much easier!

even if they do it'll probably be a different car
), but while I was looking for ideas I felt like every car was "special" in its own way.
