The Theme LEC #51: Le Mans
Chosen by: @wowbaggerBR
The greatest race in the world is less than a month away, and this feels like the perfect moment to pay tribute to one of its most iconic and beloved eras: the 1980s. As GT7 offers a great lineup of Group C prototypes and road cars that can be transformed into 1980s-style GT racers, so the rules are simple: choose any car that looks at home threading the needle down the Mulsanne Straight - as long as it’s from the 1980s. You are free to create new designs or faithful replicas.
Cars: Group C and or 1980s.
Body parts/Widebody: Any
Liveries: Original and Replica Liveries
Unique restrictions: None
Bonus picture requirements: Scapes or Race photos from Le Mans
User made/showcase decals: Allowed
General Rules
- You are only allowed to enter one livery, you must have made it yourself, and it must not have been entered in a GTS/GT7 LEC before.
- Chat about the theme is encouraged, but you must follow the entry submission rules below, and please avoid posting other liveries where ever possible.
- If judgements are needed regarding the suitability of the entry, these will be at the discretion of the member that selected the theme.
- Standardised entry photos and entry layouts provide a level playing field and the guidelines must be respected.
- Do not edit your photos.
- You may be asked to share your livery if shenanigans are suspected.
- Discussion about the LEC format in general should be taken to this thread: Future of Livery Editor Competitions
- Blatant disregard for either the rules, or the spirit of the competition may result in your entry being disregarded.
- The winner gets to nominate the next the theme from the Theme suggestions list, or can nominate a special theme related to a real world event.
Submission Rules
- Entries should be made in their own post, your entry should contain the elements listed here, no more, no less
- 1) The opening line should read FINAL ENTRY, and make it Red to help us find them for the poll. (
[B][COLOR=rgb(255, 0, 0)]FINAL ENTRY[/COLOR][/B]) - 2) Two main pictures (Mandatory Pictures), these may not exceed 640 pixels in either direction, but ideally should link to a larger version. See Image Posting below.
- 3) In spoiler tags (
[SPOILER] ... [/SPOILER]) you may include two further Bonus Pictures. These also may not exceed 640 pixels in either direction, and can ideally can link to larger versions. - 4) The content of Bonus Pictures might have been specified in the theme, if they have, you must respect the requirements stated - otherwise they can be Scapes, race photos or screencaps from within the livery editor.
- Nothing else is needed. Explaining your entry is encouraged, but please do so in a second post - this isn't regarded as double-posting by the moderators. Including anything else in your submission post only makes things take longer.
Mandatory Picture Settings
- Mandatory pictures use pre-defined Scapes.
- One of your two mandatory pictures must be a front quarter view, the other must be a rear quarter view.
- Your two mandatory pictures must use either of the following locations (it doesn't matter which location you use for which view), "Pit Lane / Oita - Japan" or "Aomori Museum of Art / Aomori - Japan"
- How to set up the scene:
Focal Length: 60 - 85mm
Aperture: f5.6 - f16
Shutter Speed: 1/60 Second
Exposure Correction: +0.0 to +1.0 (screen dependent)
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.
Image Posting
- Images must be no bigger than 640 pixels wide or tall, and click through to higher resolution versions.
- Images should be hosted ideally on GTP, via the Media section. Images hosted by Flickr or similar will also be accepted. Go here for advice on how to do this.
- Do NOT use the 'Attach Files' function below the reply box when submitting your options.
- Again, do NOT edit your images. They must be as they were when taken in Scapes/Photomode.
Deadline, on or by: Sunday, 22nd June
Good luck everyone!
