PS4 BASE





This was a perfect category for me as I have created a number of hypercar liveries - finally decided on a new one though.

The 2023 Rolex 24hr of Daytona Meyer Shank Racing Acura has been extremely successful in IMSA why not take a shot at the Le Mans 24hrs.

Driving team of Tom Blomqvist, Simon Pagenaud and Helio Castroneves and another brand in Acura in the WEC.

Hopefully ive decided correctly as it was a toss up between this, the Jota, Rebellion or the Glickenhaus for my entry.

How do you know if it is more than 640 pixels, I've got a great one for my porsche, but got slaughtered last time I entered one of these comps, for not acknowledging the rules.
Thanks

If you follow the image posting instructions in the threads which show how, you'll have no issues. Basically upload to media gallery, post from there. Simples.
 

Fantasy Time for this one…

The year is 2030 and the PS6 release date is fast approaching. Gran Turismo 9 is a release title for it and fans all over the world can’t wait to play the new installment.

At the start of 2029, the ACO announced that the LMP2 category at Le Mans will be no more, replaced with the new “Electric Spyder” (eLMS) category. The new category takes advantage of new EV technologies that have reduced charging times and have increased range, whilst paying homage to the Spyders seen in the 24 hours in the late 90’s.

With the customer Alpine engine & chassis package not ready for 2030, Pescarolo Sport have turned to Porsche and will be running 3 Porsche Spyders for 2030 race, and will be adorned with the PS6 X GT9 sponsorship combo, throwing back to the PS2 X GT4 combo seen on the C60 LMP1 charge from 2006.

The three cars will be peddled by a full French (incl. a Monegasque) lineup.

32: Olivier Pla, Sebastian Loeb & Victor Martins
33: Nicolas Lapierre, Arthur Leclerc & Norman Nato
34: Sebastian Bourdais, Sasha Fenestraz & Guiliano Alesi

Maybe, one day, we’ll see how they get on... :cheers:

Will pop the links up for the 3 liveries shortly...

A retro throwback for the Ferrari VGT, from the Igol-liveried Ferrari F40 LM which ran in the 1996 24h Le Mans.

Historic Racing E-Type Coupe 503BBO

PS5 RAYTRACE
Comment: Not the most complex of liveries, but I spent ages getting as much detail right as I could.

Context: 503BBO was one of the earliest E-Types to try their hand at racing LeMans - before the more famous company lightweights and couple specials (nearly all derived from the drophead version) came along a couple of privateers tried their hands are racing Jaguar's new pretty car.

And lo, the E-Type's pitiful Le Mans record was begun. Compared to the all conquering C- and D-Types that came before, the E-type never ran well at Le Mans regularly ending up as a DNF and later simply out muscled.

503BBO was a standard E-Type coupe with some modifications made. The chrome trim was removed, the bonnet, doors and boot lid were replaced with lighter alloy versions, the brakes were upgraded and a new larger fuel tank from a D-Type was fitted in the boot (something I couldn't model). Much of these modifications were made at the factory, through the car was not an official factory entry. It was entered in the 1962 running of the race by one Maurice Charles. The car did not do well. Before the race started the original engine, a hybrid of E-Type block and D-Type head with triple Weber carbs, threw a valve before the race began. The spare engine, a Jaguar Works D-Type engine, let go after just four hours, and 503BBO retired and was never raced again - Charles swiftly selling the car and it disappearing from view until 1989 when the bare shell was found on a farm in the channel islands. Spotting that the shells didn't seem quite right for a factory car - holes cut in the monocoque to facilitate access to the brakes being just one of the oddities - the car was purchased, researched and has since been restored back to its 1962 racing spec - 3.8l engine producing 296 HP.

You can find out more information about this very special car HERE and some more source pics can be found HERE.

Things I didn't get right:
  • The non-standard grille that was fitted to protect the Weber carbs .
  • the tiny perspex wind deflector in front of the bonnet louvres (only on the driver's side for some reason so maybe something more to do with visibility than protecting the engine?)
  • The D-Type external filler cap sticking through the boot door.
  • The rear slot vent in the back door.
  • The additional driver's mirror and window fairing.
  • The back wheels only being painted red (GT7 doesn't allow for individual wheel colours).
Hey ho, this one ain't gonna win, but it was a fun afternoon's project



 
This is already the winner in the eyes of my most important judge, my kid who next year will attend this college and hopefully begin his car career, he has autism and he wanted to drive my favorite car with his favorite soon to be college so here it is. Automeca is one of the top colleges for new mechanics and technicians in my home island of Puerto Rico, and this is a what-if livery with a few local sponsors too. Just wanted to share this with you. Amazing designs so far by everybody!!
