I just want to clarify a little on this- this can be rally homolgation models (lancia 037, delta, audi quattro, ford escort, evo etc), your general touring cars (alfa 155, etc), and your road going versions of le mans cars such as the nissan r390 (the only one that came to mind). If your unsure of whether the car you chose is legal/eligible, maybe just post in a comment 'i want to use ______' and ryzza and i will decide whether its ok.

does this count :confused:

[Milli]

Looks like a racing GT-40 for me. Not a street legal, and older than 1980.

[Ozzmcom]

fine fudge it I'm out

[ScoobSTi]

What... in... the... world... :shocked:

 

I didn't know you could have so many details at once. :hmmm:

[Ryzza5]

No idea if this meets the requirements - Matt couldn't even pick a theme, just gave me a vague description :fp:

 

Standard road car with a livery

 

[Ozzmcom]

these themes are getting pretty ridiculous,

there's nothing wrong with recycling great themes people!

not only you have to pick a road legal racing car , it has to be in between those years ?

man good luck with that

[Ryzza5]

Weren't the majority of all road going racing cars from that era anyway? i.e. Mercedes, Ford, BMW touring cars, various rally cars (already mentioned)

[Milli]

Every group B... hint hint. I will use the RS200 again. But other photo. lol

[Prophecy]

Yeah theres a lot of cars between 1980 and 1999 that were race cars guys, its really not that hard :\ YES ryzza, the e30 is a perfect example of an eligible car.

 

edit: 'good luck with that' he says, ffs, good luck not finding a car that was a racecar built then, you'd be harder pressed finding a car since 99 that doubled as a racecar.

[ScoobSTi]

Yes, racecars from 1980-1999 are definitely easy, but getting road legal versions of those isn't. At least not for all cars. :hmmm:

[Paladin Skylark]

Remember when these themes didn't incite a flame war? Yeah I can't really either because it's been so long. I can think of at least 10 cars RIGHT now that are eligible. Good lord it's not that hard, if you don't like it, don't enter. Street legal cars based on race/rally cars from 1980-1999.. how hard is that to understand?

I don't think you know what a road going version of a racing car is.

e30s mercs groupb cars, all those are already existing road cars that have been converted into racing cars.7

An example of an road going version of a racing car would be maserati mc12 or aston martin dbr9 or ferrari 308 gto

Touring cars are racing cars. It doesn't matter if the road car or the race car came first. The theme is "Road Legal Versions of Racing Cars"

[Prophecy]

i'll rattle off another couple of names that might help you out:

 

Mercedes 190E, WRX 22B, Ford Sierra Cosworth RS, Ferrari GTO

 

edit: Ozz, mate, dont start alright- you dont seem to understand the term homologation (i mentioned it several times in my first post). Do some research.

[Ozzmcom]

it does, if they're designed to be racing cars in the first place, then you can release a road going version of it.

If it has been converted into a racing car , those are just cars with racing pedigrees

[Paladin Skylark]

This competition is about fun. And it's turned into being super duper picky about "what qualifies".

[Prophecy]

Real simple guys. Find a car made between 1980 and 1999, GOOGLE IT if you have to find out whether its been raced (preferably factory backed), if it has, great, post here- if it doesnt qualify (i'll google it before i disqualify anything) i'll let you know. Before you choose a car, maybe google dtm, btcc, atcc, group a touring cars (thats the class that the R32 GTR dominated, and got the Skyline banned from touring car classes- there, another example of a car you CAN use), and group b rally. you'll find a plethora of cars to choose from that way.

[Ozzmcom]

only because if I had put something like this

-- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) --

some ''lalalalalalalala'' would've said that's not a road going version of a racing car, it is just a road car.

Next thing you know your pic is not in the voting

once again the theme wasn't clear enough and I just wanted to make sure if it was what I was thinking of.

Of course it's an instant testosterone fight, I don't mind it

[Milli]

My entry. It fits the theme.

 

 

If i may say, this theme is a lot more open than the "AWD Supercar" one, but nobody complained about it because it was easy. Just get a Lamborghini or a R8 and you're fine. Now, this one has a lot of cool forgotten cars. Peugeot 205 Turbo 16, Renault 5 Turbo, Ford RS200, Mitsubishi Starion, Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R LM Road Car, Nissan R390, Toyota GT-One, Delta S4, not to mention the other ones already mentioned.

 

Just my 2 cents.

[Prophecy]

YES milli, thankyou, this is for those cool cars that noone remembers anymore, the heros of yesteryear.

[Milli]

I see your point, and i like it. My entry would be the R33 LM, if i could play GT5 and take a photo of it.

No, I would say it's newer than 1999 :cheeky:

 

Stop complaining and just play the game xD

[Ozzmcom]

thanks for ruining my point ryzza :cheeky:

I'm not complaining I'm just trying to clear things out.

No offense to anyone really.
