THIS MONTH'S THEME

We're going back in time this month and pay a visit to the vast countryside Mexico has to offer. Last winner @ZombieLiquid chose this theme that was sent in by @huff via the suggestion form:

  • Professionally Tuned Cars
  • Road Cars with Racing Mods
  • SEMA Cars

BODY PARTS / WIDEBODY:
  • Allowed, road cars have to use tow hooks, rollbars and hoodpins (if possible)

LIVERIES:
  • Original and replica designs

  • Original designs have to be “in the style of” classic or modern liveries that might have raced in the Carrera Panamericana

BONUS PICTURE SETTINGS:

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.
  • Mark your FINAL ENTRY clearly, with red text.
  • Unsure how to? Copy and paste the following: [COLOR=red][B]FINAL ENTRY[/B][/COLOR]
  • 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 utilise edited/hacked file saves.
  • Winner gets to choose the following month’s theme.
  • The organisers may ask for the original image/livery and it must be submitted if so.
  • It's recommended to share the original livery online (in-game) to prove it’s your work.


ENTRY PRESENTATION
  • All images shall have preview images which may not exceed 640 pixels in either direction (main and bonus pictures).
  • You have to post two main pictures of your entry using the mandatory location and settings as shown in the quote below.
  • You are allowed to post two bonus pictures in a spoiler ([SPOILER]...[/SPOILER]) with free location and settings (unless the unique restrictions of the week’s theme specify something else).
  • You have to make one post with ONLY the set allowed number of pictures and the FINAL ENTRY (see above) mark. If you want to add precisions/background story/links, you are allowed to double-post under your entry, but please put all additional images in a spoiler. The best way to do it will be to "reply" to your own post.
  • It is recommended you host your image either here on GTPlanet (via the Media section), or on Flickr
  • Not sure how to submit your image? Here's a guide for both methods mentioned above.
  • Do not attach your phots directly to your entry post.
  • A preview image must be representative of the full-size image. Do not add effects to it.
  • Please use a clickable-preview to full-size, not a separate text link for it; it makes poll creation much easier!
  • No post-game editing of any entry image is allowed.
  • Mark your entry with which platform you're on and which mode you're using, whether it’s taken on PS4 Base, PS4 Pro, PS5 Raytracing or PS5 Framerate.


MANDATORY PICTURES
  • You have to post a front and a rear quarter view of your car:
    • Mandatory Scape: S&Company East, Saitama, Japan (scape number 5)
    • Focal Length: ~80mm ±5mm
    • Aperture: f5.6 or f8.0
    • Shutter Speed: 1/1 Second
    • Exposure Correction: +0.5 to +1.0
  • Do not use any Filters or Effects at all and only the camera setting above within the allowed limits; the pictures are supposed to be as equal as possible for all entries and not give anyone who is a bit more savvy with the Scapes Camera an advantage! Try to stay as close as possible to how the video shows the shot to be taken!

NOTE: if you have previously entered, just go to Scapes > My Library > click your previous entry > Open Scapes > change car to the new entry, refocus and snap a new photo. No need to reposition the camera/car unless its proportions are wildly different.


Please, ensure you read and understand all requirements for this competition. Failure to follow the rules may result in disqualification. If you have questions, start a convo with me, Matski or any other participant you feel comfortable reaching out to.

PLEASE NOTE: Repeat offenders will be disqualified. If your entry doesn’t match the rules you will be made aware of it at least once, so please keep an eye out for any notifications reaching your profile.

Oooohhhh sounds like an interesting theme! I've never even heard of the Carrera Panamericana, so much research will be required!!

EDIT: Decided I'm going classic for this one, like an entry to the original series. It'll be fun to get out of my comfort zone.

I did this theme pretty early in my participation, so I made some errors in the requirements. I meant to allow the tow hooks hood pins etc. if they fit your vision use them, if not don’t worry. Please ask any other questions, I’m pretty flexible. Thank you @Nuschel01 for helping with the correction.

Ultimately it's your call when an entry doesn't fit your vision :D
 
FINAL ENTRY




PS5 FR

I did some research on the Carrera Panamericana and found some articles and documentaries on an original GT40 that was entered and crashed in the Carrera Panamericana.

My entry is based on that car but I don’t have the classic racing car so I’ve fitted the road car with racing kit (as per the regs) and it’s good to go.
 
FINAL ENTRY
PS5 Raytrace

Ferrari 500 Mondial








Great idea for the round! Clear instructions and good selection of cars to suit anybody. Found the car and came up with the look instantly. Had not thought of liveries for 50´s cars before. Ferrari´s shape was not the easiest to work with but I am satisfied. More of this kind of competitions.
 
I don’t really know much about the Carrera Panamericana, but when googling Manfredo Lippmann’s Porsche stood out to me even with its simple livery. I don’t have a similar Porsche in my garage though so I went with a different classic I had yet to do a livery for. I really love how well it fits on the wide bodied A110

Many thanks to @huff for his help with the decals :cheers:

Lack of customisation options for the VGT (and other VGTs) probably wouldn't be in keeping with the goal of the theme, so I'll probably be doing something older on this occasion. 👍
I have been thinking about your liveries, and I guess maybe you might pick something like the ”Eva Perron” Porsche. I cannot wait to see what you come up with.

That was going to be my second choice if I wasn’t happy with the one I did
Amazing, I'm going to drive the car today just because of this livery :)
Thanks mate :cheers:

Don't get your hopes up! I need to get some liveries finished that I started months and months ago. The Black and White comp is causing significant distraction, as did the Zanardi livery... I think I'll be half-arsing this one again. I wish I had more free-time!
