Further explaination of the theme by ZEROX.

"The smell of burning rubber...Unfortunately, none of us can smell those in GT5 but we can
'feel' it at least. If you know what I mean. Let's take those D1GP cars out and let the tire marks
commence."


Cars: Real Drift Race Cars only. Absolutely no mod road cars.
Locations: Tsukuba, Suzuka East, Daytona Road Course, Tokyo (Bay),
Fuji Speedway (any variation), Nürburgring GP/D, Top Gear Test Track,
Eiger Nordwand (any weather).
Phototravel: No.
Unique Restrictions: As said again, no tuned/mod road cars. Just real drift car.
Multiple car shoots allowed, as long as it consists of real drift race cars.

SSC_Rules.jpg

Please, ensure you read and understand all requirements for this competition. Failure to follow
the rules may result in disqualification. If you have questions, send me a Private Message.

This Thread will answer many possible questions you may have.

  • Entries for the competition this week must be sent to the Judge ZEROX Via
    Private Message and not posted in this thread, any pics posted in this thread will not be
    considered for the poll. Use the Submit Entry button to ensure your entry goes to the judge.
  • Your PM must consist of a preview image no bigger than 500px at the largest side with a
    direct link to the full size image.
  • Your first entry will be your last, you will not be allowed to change your entry so be happy
    with it.
  • One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a competition.
  • Do not use a photo from your Gallery or post your photo shoot in your Gallery until after
    the competition (and poll if you made it) has closed.
  • Preview images can not exceed 500 pixels in either direction.
  • A preview image must be representative of the full-size image. Do not add effects to it.
  • Winner chooses the following week's theme and becomes Judge for that week.
  • Winners cannot enter in their own theme!
  • The Judge will select the top 10 entries and PM to the Host for the poll.
  • The poll entries will then all be hosted by me so that links cannot be traced to the owner
    of the photo.
  • The Host may ask for the original image and it must be submitted if so.
    It's recommended to save the original image (preferably in-game) until week's ends.
  • It is recommended you host your image on ImageShack, Photobucket, or Flickr.

What you may not do to a photo:

  • Alter the geometry of the car. No stickers, or body modifications not available in game.
  • Add shapes or objects from outside of GT5.
  • Add a signature or personal watermark.
  • Add lens flares or "artistic" filters to image.
  • Remove items from shot (scenery, other cars).
  • Use more than 1 image (HDR, photo-stitching, multi-exposure).
  • "Creative cropping". The main "image" must be four-sided, with 90-degree, upright corners.
  • Selective car colour changing: masking different parts to create racing stripes or similar.

What you may do to a photo:

  • Crop and/or resize an image.
  • Adjust the level or curve values.
  • Alter the colour tone of the image (gradient maps, photo filters, colour balance, etc).
  • Car body colour change (all stickers/design features must remain, see "Remove Items" rule).
  • Adjust brightness, contrast, exposure, shadow/highlights.
  • Enhance shadows or highlights (dodge and burn tools in Photoshop, for example).
  • Add noise and/or diffuse glow.
  • Add a post-game tilt-shift blur, or apply a motion blur to a stationary Photomode shot.
  • Make use of Layer Blend Modes.
  • Use a Sharpening filter and/or tool.
  • Scale or enlarge rims.
  • Remove or modify license plates.
  • Remove the GT watermark.
  • Clean up or fix jaggies, texture pixelation, or colour separation.
  • Add a vignette effect.
Failure to follow these rules will result in ignored entries and/or disqualification!

I don't have time right now to post a list of Drift race cars to use.
If anyone else wishes to post a list feel free, otherwise I will update here later with a list.
 
Don't know the exact names but off the top of me head there's.
The 4door skyline r34
HKS Genki Sylvia
Silver RX7 thing
 
HKS HKS GENKI HYPER SILVIA RS2 (D1GP) '04
BLITZ BLITZ DUNLOP ER34 SKYLINE (D1GP) '07
BLITZ BLITZ ER34 D1 SPEC (D1GP) '04
Mazda BP FALKEN RX-7 (D1GP) '03

Thats the list of all the D1 cars.
 
The AEM S2000 competed in Formula D, so I think that should be on the list too 👍

Not 100% sure, but I also think the RE Amemiya FD3S RX-7 may be a drift car.
