Tricky theme! Good luck jus1029! :cheers:
 
First shot in a tournament and I cant use a car! :grumpy:
"Take a picture of those banners that advertise their company."
This is going to be interesting :indiff:
Does it have to be a car company advert or can it be any sign/banner?

Happy to see my theme made it in though! :p:tup:
 
Wooooo, my theme made it! DarkR and rpanico14, if you guys don't have a A110, send me a FR and I can put one on share. :) It may take a while though, I've got to still download the updates to have online on GT5 (2.06 and 2.07).
 
Another 2 car theme!!!!???? 🤬
Do I somehow attract them, or why do they follow me since the last Tourney?


Anywho, good luck Stoney! You probably need it.....I got experience with 2 car shots now. :lol:
 
Phew...Not a multiple car theme for me this time. Good luck Ferrari_458 👍

And a good thing to read the rules twice. I already took some pics of a race car for this :lol:
 
Tricky theme! Good luck jus1029! :cheers:
You too, David!

EDIT: Yay! My theme is in! Good luck with it, Alex and Darryl!
EDIT #2: Should the car match its year (e.g. '66 car vs '66 car) or any (e.g. '66 car vs. '76 car)?

And as I remember, there's still an American classics event!? ;)

Also, are racecars allowed in our theme? For example the old Z06 Race car and the new ZR1 Race Car!?



Ohh, and nice to see my theme (Engine sound?) in match06. Just the explanation got cut a bit. But I raged a bit too much in there, so thats cool. :lol:

Yes, why not? You can even have all the corvettes in one picture (don't know if that's possible).

Yes, that was more a rant than theme explanation. :lol:

I did so many 2 car matches last time, I shouldn't struggle anymore. :sly:
But I would like to do something like "purple haze", "Partially Standard" or "german warfare"

I'm looking forward to see what everyone delivers again. :dopey:

I must admit "Partially Standard" is a rather difficult theme and I'm puzzling about how to do phototravel shoot with a standard car. :lol: Just joking.
 
Oh boy, partial colour. I'm not very good with that filter :scared:

Good luck, Nicknamealguem!
 
Hmm, I've always struggled with drift shots... :nervous: Anyway, I'll give it a good go :)

Good luck zambuca :D:tup:

Whops. :p

Neither do I. In fact, I don't think I ever used it. :scared:

Good luck to you too. 👍
 
match 6 - 7 and 8 are going to be very interesting for me .

good luck guys :D
 
Really looking forward to this...

Good luck everyone! :)
 
question about my theme.

"CARS: Any with 700 performance points or above, stock."

The Peugeot 908 HDi FAP 2010 is 698 pp stock from the dealership. But with an aerodynamics adjustment, it can reach 700pp and i would still consider it stock. Also with just 22 km on a stock 908 it reaches 700pp... which muddies most of my standard model LM cars that have a lot of KM's on them... not to mention an oil change.

Currently the only two cars(premiums) you can purchase stock from the dealership over 700pp are the Mazda 787B and the XJR-LM(DLC).

Just trying to expand my options a bit. Also dont want to use a standard model and find out that "stock" it was 699pp.


no worries, disregard.

I'm taking a bit of a risk with my entry. Hopefully it pays off :scared: Good luck, hgrf93.
 
Scraped in by the skin of my teeth :scared:

Good luck GT HP Nut should be a good battle!
 
Today was the only day I could shoot and edit with exams and stuff, so my entry is sent... :)
 
Entry sent already! :nervous: Have to say I thought I had a rubbish theme when I first read it, but I actually really enjoyed it; brilliant car and looks great for a standard! Best of luck DarkR!
