This Week's News:

This theme should bring some interesting takes since we're all quite limited. Also, I'm going to be getting clarification, because while Something did mention Production cars only... GT4 considers things like the Nardo "production".

(NINJA EDIT) Er, nevermind... Standards can't even partake this week anyways! So the only question mark is the GT-R Black Mask, I guess...
 
I´m not sure if I stay with this one as Entry. But so far I don´t have a better one yet. So...

FINAL ENTRY

Wauw, that entry will make others think twice before posting their entries:tup:
 
Uh oh, I haven't though of that.

Be a chap and do not post that on Oppo. I don't want to get banned!

You're lucky Oppo hates me or i would.
No way in hell i'll be able to top that.
 
Haha, I had no intention of stealing your thunder, I saw the new theme late last night, and thought I would go for an 'aged' style. Pure coincidence my good man.

By the way, Your shot is really good. I have profound respect for anyone that can tackle 1:1 format, and you nailed it.
 
For the sake of ease, I'll allow the black mask and any other concept cars.

And just to make things more interesting, scenery only shots are also allowed, since the options are so limited already.

I hope you guys don't mind such a limited theme ;), but I wanted to see how everyone does when they're on a very equal ground. This is where you'll have to let your creativity shine.

Great entries so far!
 

Think I'll probably end up changing this unless it gets a good response, went for saturation and reflections!
