While we will keep the "main" LEC to its current state, we thought that it could be fun to have something outside this box.

These challenges will be based on the basic LEC rules, but with more freedom. The deadline will be more flexible, more bonus images will be allowed. But we will keep the usual showcase pics, so that it doesn't confuse people going from one to another.





THE THEME

The first of these new challenges will be season-themed : Christmas Special

No need to explain this one a lot... It's the holiday's season ! Just have fun making something related to Christmas or the New Year.

CARS :
- No restrictions
LIVERIES :
- No restrictions
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS :
- The theme of the livery must be Christmas, the Holidays or the New Year
BONUS PICTURE SETTINGS :
- You can have up to 3 bonus pictures
- At least the main one of them must be set in one of the « Season’s greetings » scapes selection.
- The two showcase pictures and the main bonus shot will be used in the poll, not the other shots which must be inside a spoiler.
USER MADE DECALS :
- No Restrictions


GENERAL COMPETITION RULES

ENTRY SUBMISSION

- The only way you can take part is to be a member of the GTPlanet forums. If you haven't created your account yet, click here

- One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a competition.
- You may change your entry once. Do it clearly; edit out your previous entry, and either post the new one in a new reply, or in place of the original.
- Do not post "Honourable Mentions" or outtakes - just your Final Entry, that's all.
- Absolutely no entries which utilize edited/hacked file saves.

- The Host may ask for the original image/livery and it must be submitted if so.

- Not sure how to submit your image? Here's a guide for both methods mentioned above.
- A preview image must be representative of the full-size image. Do not add effects to it.

FINAL ENTRY

The Black Baron returns....

On account of it's owner having a lousy time, being broke, hundreds of miles from girlfriend and being physically kaput, it's been redecorated... a Snowflake made from Hazard marking tape, a front wing wrapped with wrapping paper, and numerous other festive sentiments now adorn the car.

... anyway, I'm off to get drunk.

Despite my A110 not being eligible for my Vintage Road Racer theme, I liked it so much I decided to rework it for the Christmas LEC. I also finally took the time to learn how to make decals with Inkscape.

After doing some Googling, I found that Rudolph Racing was a real thing that raced Vipers in Belcar in the mid-2000s. Their logo was awesome, so I stole it and imagined the new Rudolph Racing was entering a 2 car team in the 2018 Historic Rally North Pole. The #24 car is driven by American Santa Claus and his British co-driver Father Christmas. The #25 car is driven by Frenchman Père Noël and his German co-driver Kris Kringle.
 

Just in time, but I had to present something ! At first I wanted to do a "Merry Christmas" livery with backdoor logos, in the spirit of the @Raphaele livery for the In-House series. But time has passed and I couldn't enter before Christmas, so it made more sense to create a Happy New Year livery, and the designated brand was easy to choose ! The car is made of blue triangles with yellow sponsors, and the white dots remind the Project 7 livery (or the Seen Through Glass F-Type R for those who know him ;) )
