Super Taikyu
This Month's Theme
Finally we're back to our Regular LEC schedule.
Thanks to @SouperK for providing the Image Header.
This month's theme is Super Taikyu, which was originally suggested by @Nessy and was selected by @Michelin Man
Given the Summer Special LECs were both replica race themes this month we will use road cars only but to
interest those that want to use there own inspiration on the car canvas this will be a template LEC along with the Super Taikyu replicas,
so if you want to try your own livery just ensure it uses Super Taikyu elements such as the number plates etc.
Please read the rules below to make sure you don't miss anything when you post your entry, as ignoring them can get you disqualified.
CARS:
- Road Cars eligible for Super Taikyu past or present
BODY PARTS / WIDEBODY:
- Road Cars with Racing Mods. All available racing mods must be installed
LIVERIES:
- Replica Liveries or Original Liveries on the Championship Template
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS:
- Manufacturer swaps allowed if done well
BONUS PICTURE SETTINGS:
- Garage and Race Track only
USER MADE DECALS:
- Allowed
GENERAL COMPETITION RULES
ENTRY SUBMISSION
- The only way you can take part is to be a member of the GTPlanet forums. If you haven't created your account yet, click here.
- Mark your FINAL ENTRY clearly, with red text.
- Unsure how to? Copy and paste the following:
[COLOR=red][B]FINAL ENTRY[/B][/COLOR] - One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a competition.
- You may change your entry once. Do it clearly; edit out your previous entry, and either post the new one in a new reply, or in place of the original.
- Do not post "Honourable Mentions" or outtakes - just your Final Entry, that's all.
- Absolutely no entries which utilise edited/hacked file saves.
- Winner gets to choose the following month’s theme.
- The organisers may ask for the original image/livery and it must be submitted if so.
- It's recommended to share the original livery online (in-game) to prove it’s your work.
ENTRY PRESENTATION
- All images shall have preview images which may not exceed 640 pixels in either direction (main and bonus pictures).
- You have to post two main pictures of your entry using the mandatory location and settings as shown in the quote below.
- You are allowed to post two bonus pictures in a spoiler (
[SPOILER]...[/SPOILER]) with free location and settings (unless the unique restrictions of the week’s theme specify something else). - You have to make one post with ONLY the set allowed number of pictures and the FINAL ENTRY (see above) mark. If you want to add precisions/background story/links, you are allowed to double-post under your entry, but please put all additional images in a spoiler. The best way to do it will be to "reply" to your own post.
- It is recommended you host your image either here on GTPlanet (via the Media section), or on Flickr
- Not sure how to submit your image? Here's a guide for both methods mentioned above.
- Do not attach your phots directly to your entry 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!
- No post-game editing of any entry image is allowed.
- Mark your entry with which platform you're on and which mode you're using, whether it’s taken on PS4 Base, PS4 Pro, PS5 Raytracing or PS5 Framerate.
MANDATORY PICTURES
- While you can choose one or both scapes for your entry, you have to post a front and a rear quarter view of your car:
- Mandatory Scape:
- Focal Length: ~80mm ±5mm
- Aperture: f5.6 or f8.0
- Shutter Speed: 1/1 Second
- Exposure Correction: +0.5 to +1.0
- Mandatory Scape:
- Do not use any Filters or Effects at all and only the camera setting above within the allowed limits; the pictures are supposed to be as equal as possible for all entries and not give anyone who is a bit more savvy with the Scapes Camera an advantage! Try to stay as close as possible to how the video shows the shot to be taken!
NOTE: if you have previously entered, just go to Scapes > My Library > click your previous entry > Open Scapes > change car to the new entry, refocus and snap a new photo. No need to reposition the camera/car unless its proportions are wildly different.
Please, ensure you read and understand all requirements for this competition. Failure to follow the rules may result in disqualification. If you have questions, start a convo with me, Matski or any other participant you feel comfortable reaching out to.
PLEASE NOTE: Repeat offenders will be disqualified. If your entry doesn’t match the rules you will be made aware of it at least once, so please keep an eye out for any notifications reaching your profile.
DEADLINE
October 31st 2024

Then changed the design's main colors three times as I found more and more images of different model cars and in the end changed the base to metallic when I found a photo of the actual car right when I was already finished... and all in a bit of a hurry before someone else starts the same design. Was fun doing the research and diving back into the livery editor (including one forever spinning saving wheel at 0%). Glad I got this one off my list. Happy livery editing, folks! 
). So I went ahead with the R34. Hope you haven't spent too much time on it yet and you find something else that equally sparks your interest.
