Further explanation of the theme, as described by bmxmitch:

"I had one as 1:18 model and one awesome carrera car. I think there wasn't another car I
loved more in my childhood. The C9 Silberpfeil!
It's also the car I used the most in GT5. Its performance is just too good.
And it is damn fast. I think it was one of the fastest race-cars at its time. 398 kph!!!!"

CAR: Sauber Mercedes C9 Race Car '89.
LOCATION: Circuit de la Sarthe (weather change).
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: No night shots! Dusk and dawn is allowed, rain too.
You also can park it if you want, but seing it at high speed would suit the theme best IMO. :)

I believe the C9 actually hit 400 km/h during practice for the 1989 Le Mans. Awesome car 👍

EDIT: Also very, very related:

I really enjoy my post #1,000 quoting this information from wikipedia.
Reaching 248.0 mph (400 km/h) during the qualifying sessions of the 1989 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Sauber C9 has set one of the fastest top speeds ever in the history of the competition at Le Mans. These speeds led to the cessation on the huge Le Mans Mulsanne Straight and the introduction of two chicanes, from 1990 onwards.

^Post 1000 to week100! Fits perfect. :)👍

And I hope to see some awesome stuff again this week. Well, I'm pretty sure you guys deliver again. i can't wait to see them all! :dopey:
 
I think I have to pass this week. Not because of the expected awesome shots, but because I don't have the car and my GT5 handling is corrupt. :grumpy:
 
👍 Totally transported by all these fine pics!!
Unfortunately the GT5 rendering of this vehicle is lacking of perfection.
Have a look at the real nose (nare) in relation to the Mercedes logo on the front hood and the reflections on the windshield…
just my two cents :)
 
A great car and some great entries so far guys. Liking them a lot. 👍

Ohh, if anyone needs the car, I'll put mine on share. ;)

I don't have it :/

How does the share feature work? Haven't ever needed to use it.

Edit* although I am not sure why I should even bother, with the entrys that have already been posted my shot probably wont even be considered lol.
 
Final entry



Damn...why did I have to post right after Nato :drool:👍​
 
For a standard, the Sauber Merc is one of the best rendered. Great job ijkhk4, Nato and Zambuca - beautiful work.
 
So many great Entries already! :drool:👍

Thanks for the headache I will have tomorrow guys....:boggled:
 
I will be happy if I reach the poll, that's it. I have no chance of even getting a podium... Such amazing entries. :drool:
