Further explanation of the theme, as chosen by our Week 9 Winner happycorey:

Using Honda's ad slogan as inspiration, Corey wants us to focus on the house that Soichiro
built. That means anything under the Honda name, and to have some more fun with that,
you can only take the cars to a Japanese location, be it a track or a Travel location!

CARS: Honda Motor Company vehicles (Honda, Acura, Mugen, etc)
LOCATIONS: Japanese tracks only
PHOTO TRAVEL: Japanese locations only (also, the "SSR" highway tracks)
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: see above

I will change my entry, if we are not allowed to use the AEM Racing S2000.​
 
Acuras? I ask because the only premium NSX with pop-ups is the Acura, and when you RM it they slap a Honda badge on the nose.

Not that Acura and Honda are different with regard to cars other than name and style... Barring Acura would be like saying Infinity is no good in a Nissan comp.

1. Honda is the parent company, while Acura is the child company.

2. Honda is a corporation (a bigger organization) than Acura, which is only a smaller division.

3. Honda deals with many technologies like combustion engines, generators, robotics, space technology, and motorcycles, among others, while Acura only deals with luxury cars.

I think we're all familiar with Acura being Honda's luxury division. Just want to know if the Judge will allow them or not.

We did just wrap on a German comp that didn't allow Rufs, so...
 
Acuras are fine. I don't want there to be any limitations Honda related. So if Honda Motor Company has really any major involvement, it's allowed
 
Heh, other than the engine though, that car was more Caterham than anything else ;).

First post updated to reflect the car eligibility. If you're curious about a specific car, I'm sure Corey will be able to clarify!
 
Figured as much. It just came to mind when you said 'any major involvement'. :dopey:

I'm done, thank you for the clarifications. :)

Congratulations on 2k posts.
 
Haha damn I didn't even think I had that many posts. No problem though. Hopefully we can keep seeing some good stuff! I was about to go take a few shots then I remembered I couldn't enter :(
 
I'm going to have to shoot new stuff. The only pics I have are of a RM NSX, but it's at the RB Hangar.

Props to whoever enters with a CL
 
@moglet: wow, just wow! I think my NSX can´t compare to this one...:)

how did you made the photo-travel spot move like this?

Thanks! I'm sure yours can compare though! 👍

The moving photo travel effect is something I learned back in the GT4 days when in game blur was pretty bad and to get the same effect as 'Blur Type 3' from GT5, you had to use Photoshop. It involves 3-4 layers making sure the background and car are seperate, and then a simple technique is used to find the horizon to apply Radial Blur in 4 different sections.

It's fairly complicated but I'm sure the old guide from the GT4 photo forum is still about somewhere!
