Cars, too shiny?

[Lethalchem]

Well I guess they are just shinny as hell.

You don't keep your car looking like that?

 

[Eagle]

race cars must not be shiney.

o_O Huh?

Can we please use thumbnails instead of img after img? I'm not complaining out of bandwidth reasons, I'm complaining that at 1024x768, my browser window winds up twice the width of my screen because of some of the pics that get posted, and so all the text gets wrapped badly and reading becomes a chore.

Another useless thread. The game isnt out and if for some reason you little mind thinks the cars a too SHINEY then either dont buy the game or make your TV darker.

How do you post it in thumbnail form?

I dont have a car but I do keep all 3 of our cars looking like that though.

I agree with this

Making your TV darker isn't going to do much o_O

As the pictures prove:

Cars in driveways are shiny (on a saturday )

Cars on racetracks are not shiny.....

You think a Ferrari F2004 isn't polished to perfection before it takes to the circuit?

 

[xcsti]

Why would they bother, it is just going to get all grimed up any ways.

 

[Eagle]

They're called sponsors, they pay money to see their name on a car, like I said before to Biased Turkey here. Thus, they like the car to be clean and subsequently displaying their logo as prominently as possible. I'd also wager it has an effect on aerodynamics.

 

[k2racer]

Sure thing, race cars are shiny at the start and they should be.....

We could start a scientific discussion on how dust affects areodynamics of the cars, but it was done before. Eventhough a rougher surface is not affecting it in a negative way all together (sharks, golfballs, swimsuits etc...). The weight is more negative!

On topic; for me the cars (non racers) are too shiny.

Better to have a shiny car than a dull one 👍

 

[code_kev]

I love shiny stuff, the more shine, the better

 

[Mr P510]

Same here.....3 coats of wax please.

Cars can never be too shiny, because that just shows how bright it is, and how much wax there is.

Race cars are always cleaned to perfection for the start of the race... 1 b/c of sponsor logos (as Eagle said), and also you want to make sure that all the intakes and ducts are clean (eg in F1 you don't want brake dust or dirt all over the side of the car potentially coming off and going into the air intake, clogging up the filters, etc).

Very true 👍

If you don't want it to be too shiny, race it a couple of times and don't wash it keep it dull.
