[lean hatch]

Now imagine if this baby was fitted with a Mercedes M119 unit

[pine reef]

Honestly it wouldn’t be competitive, but it would be sick asf

[lean hatch]

Yeah.

I should've specified a Group C spec M119

or maybe to keep things period-relevant, maybe the engine from the Sauber C8

Another part of me is a little bit curious about how it would look like in the Kouros colors as well

[lean hatch]

Also, didn't Alan Jones once drive a 935 in this series?

[pine reef]

That’s his car in that thumbnail 😂

[lean hatch]

Figured

I was wondering why that 935 looked kinda familiar

[pine reef]

Jonesy ended up winning that race after Brocky ran out of tires

Adelaide International was such a great track

[pine reef]

The Monza ended up getting re-shelled to be a A70 Supra later on, it even raced in the 1984 WEC Sandown 1000

[lean hatch]

Ah, yeah that's right. The A70 made its way into Sports Sedans

[pine reef]

The original car is even for sale today, unfortunately the Monza shell got binned long ago.

[lean hatch]

My goodness that is a beaut

[pine reef]

When the A90 V8 Supercar comes around I wouldn’t be surprised if someone buys it and put the engine in the A90 into this

But Yknow everything is old so it might just get put in a shed

[lean hatch]

Personally, although a 2UR-GSE does sound nice, I'd probably go for a Toyota 1UZ/3UZ-FE instead

Then, I'd destroke it and cam it

[pine reef]

Yeah that would be better

[rustic helm]

nah I think hemi V8 better

it's the only V8 engine that makes earth quakes

Australian touring car series

Mario Andretti's Lola T88/00

Bobby Rahal used a Judd engine while Mario Andretti used a Chevrolet engine

With the Z32 300ZX, Nissan managed to win the 24 hours of Daytona, 12 hours of Sebring, and even them scoring the GTS class victory at Le Mans within the same year. 1994 was also the final year that Nissan used the VG30DETT V6 turbo in the car, before they switched to using a naturally aspirated VH45DE unit for 1995

Apart from this, the 1994 season would be the last time the Z32 300ZX would win a title in the IMSA GT Championship

The Mercedes 190E Evo II competed in DTM back when they still used Group A regulations. It proved to be a major rival to both Audi and BMW with their V8 Coupe and M3.

Klaus Ludwig scored the 190E Evo II's only title during the 1992 season. In the same year, Keke Rosberg and Ellen Lohr scored their maiden DTM victories, with Lohr becoming the first and only female DTM winner in the series' history

For 1993, the introduction of Class One regulations saw the introduction of a new version for the 190E Evo II

The class one version proved to be a solid contender as well, but the 1993 DTM title ultimately went to Alfa Romeo and their 155 V6Ti. The Class One 190E Evo II was eventually replaced by the W202 C Class and that the W202 C Class was used until the end of the 1996 ITC season.

Several world champions from the United States have made their mark on the world of grand prix motorcycle racing. One such rider would be Freddie Spencer, who managed to win both the 250cc and 500cc world championship in 1985 with Honda.

This year marks the 40th annniversary since this accomplishment.

I'll just stop with this nonsense. I'm only wasting my time and only making myself lonely.

It's just that the car was butt-awful

Especially since silver hadn't been used for ages by a F1 team before 1994

[long trout]

i actually dont mind this too much either although it looks woeful in a lot of pics haha

[buoyant nebula]

That Brabham looks really weird as far as the livery is concerned

I mean

It is different from the white-blue they usually used

[long trout]

found this

[long trout]

its a bit messed up but i managed to do this

[cyan axle]

👍

[long trout]

only issue is it performs as well as the mclarens

lol

lol

got some fixes to do :X

[arctic flower]

I hope yhe next F1 game has this feature

Lovely thing to have

[long trout]

its a mod, using the code from the 2013 classic cars. e.g this 1994 season mod has(most) of the 1994 cars, but they either use the williams fw18, fw14b and ferrari f92a models

just with reskin and database change. most of the tracks have different sponsors, and all the pit crew are right etc 😄

or do you mean glowing gloves

[crude river]

@long trout you could make a post about how you did this on vindtunnel 😛

like a tutorial

[long trout]

i could do a tutorial for adding liveries, but i didnt make the mod itself so i cant do anything bout that

or team boss / chairman / designer etc

[crude river]

Yeah I'm currently watching through them all

How Circuit Gilles Villeneuve has changed over the years

[hardy cairn]

Racingcircuits.info is dope

[long trout]

it is a great site

[long trout]

can someone tell me why james hunt had that flannel type thing on his helmet

is it to do with gas inhalation in a fire ?

[old herald]

you mean the yellow-ish thing around his neck?

[long trout]

ya

it was nailed to his helmet i belieeeve

nvm lol

[old herald]

thanks to you im now curious about what that is, too XD

[long trout]

i think its something to do with gas

bcause when he was driving for wolf he had the strange helmet

like some disciplines of bike racing has

[crude river]

It's an anti-flammable fabric that also helps keeping out the wind

[long trout]

imagine how different ferrari f1 would be if enzo had been maybe 40 yrs younger

and still be in control now

[buoyant nebula]

IDK

[long trout]

when jody scheckter joined and was asked to give enzo his opinion on hte car he said the engine was terrible and the translator wouldnt translate

for fear of enzo's reaction

[old herald]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVlyGejQSi0 always makes me think of this

[buoyant nebula]

Yeah

I have seen that movie

i thought i liked the v10 sound but i came from the turbo 80s v12 one

in a video before it

The old v12s sound a bit too much for me, I grew up in the v10 era

[cyan axle]

Sort of classic?

[coral palm]

oooooo, that's nice track

I've raced there couple of times

[cyan axle]

On a sim, or irl?

[coral palm]

I don't think it's available on any sim :/

[cyan axle]

Theres a version for GPL

[coral palm]

😮

[cyan axle]

I wonder if I can get a dl link

[coral palm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YC-VaVpQPVI

aye

[cyan axle]

So this is annoying, I found a link on this site, but the admin himself has to approve all new accs http://srmz.net/index.php?showtopic=6146&st=0

I wish my home track would be made on something more modern, maybe for GTL 2 which is apparently in development

Only a few RX tracks are to be incl in D4, so no chance of that

[coral palm]

Yea, Pärnu's track has quite nice rFactor mod

bit inaccurate because mod was done before track got built, but still well made

[cyan axle]

There is another version of bikernieki for rfactor, but the guy made it on BTB and I dont think he was very experienced, as it is just plain road with some barriers and the odd runoff area

[spark lodge]

how much do these games cost

[buoyant nebula]

Pärnu track?

I want to have that rF mod

[cyan axle]

GPL is abandonware now

[spark lodge]

i remember being like 10 and watching someone demo rfactor and i begged them to let me play and they said no 😦

[buoyant nebula]

Welp

[cyan axle]

hang on I might be able to get you something

[spark lodge]

or like whatever sim there was in 2000

[cyan axle]

http://get-good.net/index.php?title=RFactor

check around the page, few guys (I think I know a few of them) made a lite version, intended for multiple installs

@spark lodge here you go http://www.mediafire.com/file/6cddyi0sw3nhjzn/rFactorSetup1255g.exe if you want you can get the link directly from the page I stuck up top

summer race?

[coral palm]

can't remember name of that event, but that was in late 2008

[cyan axle]

ah

I think thats what the annual event is called anyways

If we were ever to run an rF league, the guys who dont have it can use that dl, its from a well know group (4chan guys) and I have raced in OGC with a lot of em

Worth a look anyways

It seems as if simracing is becoming a popular topic on this server

How about a dedicated channel?

[crude river]

First of all you lot are in classic

[cyan axle]

Get rekt

[crude river]

Posting non-classic stuff

[buoyant nebula]

That's the point

[cyan axle]

It was classic at the start

[buoyant nebula]

Yeah

A simracing channel for simracing stuff would be great

[cyan axle]

[buoyant nebula]

Thanks @crude river

[crimson glacier]

classic

[arctic flower]

y tho

That was so unnecesary

And now you're deleting comments without saying anything

Nice

[old herald]

huh

[hardy cairn]

?

[cyan axle]

Overruled

[forest condor]

guess this counts

look at the difference between the fronts and rears

its beautiful

certainly is 😃

[long trout]

i'm a little depressed thinking of just how many lost talents there have been

[buoyant nebula]

Yeah

[long trout]

and the what ifs and bad situations

[buoyant nebula]

Yeah

Olivier Panis is IMO a lost talent too

Though he did not die

His leg injuries still did his career in

[long trout]

bellof, rindt, clark, cevert, the list goes on

[cyan axle]

I'll have to have a go at this at some point

More than just nannini spun

Nannini makes me want a Pannini

[long trout]

someone in comment said something about how senna's tyres werent as far out of the dry as the others

but i like to think that wasnt the case

xD

[arctic flower]

Yeah

That wasn't the case

can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not

[buoyant nebula]

When is this from?

[rustic helm]

Last December

[buoyant nebula]

Hm

[rustic helm]

Was amazing to see all the classic/older Ferrari's on the track

[buoyant nebula]

I do remember Ferrari and Seb being at Florida back in Dec

Saw pics of them on Instagram

[rustic helm]

Ye, was worth going to it

[calm comet]

RIP Ayrton Senna, today 23 years ago 😭 😭 😭 😭

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9qZu7h5ys0

[cyan axle]

😢

[cyan coyote]

I started d/ling some classic races, any you guys particularly recommend?

[hardy cairn]

USA 05

[cyan coyote]

05

classic

[hardy cairn]

USA 05

anything but a shitshow

[cyan coyote]

I found an archive of every race since 1985

[hardy cairn]

Ooh

[cyan coyote]

wonder how many people downloaded usa 05 lol

you don't have it?

[hardy cairn]

Nah, I wouldn't have the time

[cyan coyote]

kk

[hardy cairn]

If I were single I would, probably

[cyan coyote]

I could ask @arctic flower to pin it but I can only vouch for 1985, 2001 & 2010 so far

bc that's the only ones I've tried so far

full race & commentary, vn

[hardy cairn]

What do you count as classic regarding years

[cyan coyote]

well considering I am 18, it would be mika years for me...

but for most people it would be mid 90s and behind

[hardy cairn]

Mika years are great

94-01 are pretty solid as years go

[cyan coyote]

tbh mclaren are pretty great to watch regardless of year

[hardy cairn]

2017

[arctic flower]

I can pin it

[cyan coyote]

well they always had good drivers (atleast 1 at worst of times) , even with a bad car

[arctic flower]

Would be a great resource

[cyan coyote]

it was really easy to find, I found it in minutes, didn't even think to look for it

[hardy cairn]

Is it the mega torrent?

[cyan coyote]

if you start from 1985, you have prost, then senna, then mika, then hamilton

just rattled off one after the other

constant talent

no

you download the race file directly

the files are inconsistant as they are all from different resources

the 2010 ones are mp4s, the 1985 ones are .avis

for example

like I said I can only vouch for a few of the years so far though

what I have is brilliant

[hardy cairn]

I always get nostalgia for any schumi years

[cyan coyote]

for me it's mika

glad I get the opportunity to watch the races I wasn't around to be for though

for 2001 it's worth mentioning you need a plugin to download the flash file directly

but for most years I think there is just a download button

[hardy cairn]

I love Mika

[cyan coyote]

who doesn't

[hardy cairn]

He was a big part of f1 in my childhood

[cyan coyote]

hell yeah

him and big chin mcgee

my f1 childhood

[hardy cairn]

The titans of Mika vs The Michael

[cyan coyote]

only raced them in gp4, good times

[hardy cairn]

DC is bae

Love that guy

[cyan coyote]

flibble said he'd pin it then went offline

🤔

[cyan coyote]

with ^ if anyone has any recommended races to watch I'm welcome to suggestions

[buoyant nebula]

Canada 2008 was alright IMO

Kubica aside it had some exciting bits aswell

[cyan coyote]

so strange to watch 1985 races
don't know what's going to happen

[cyan axle]

Good shit

[coral palm]

so RBR is powered by dark side, not that they're trying to hide it

[rustic helm]

Rip Gilles.

[plucky sun]

❤

[cyan coyote]

is that angelis?

yh

I like watching him and senna in the lotus

[long trout]

prost? lotus?

[cyan coyote]

LOL

two kids holding up to big teams like mclaren and ferrari with big drivers like prost

sometimes with mechanical damage

[long trout]

ah there you go

[cyan coyote]

sorry, I'm really out of it atm

I corrected it to him and lotus in the lotus...

[long trout]

elio was really good at crashing tho

[cyan coyote]

lotus is my favourite lotus driver

[long trout]

classic Lotus in the Lotus

[cyan coyote]

yh but seeing him hold it with alboreto

when he had a puncture

that really impressed me

just had a final so gonna blame it on that

[long trout]

mine start next week

[cyan coyote]

lotus in lotus

[long trout]

well my year

my first one is the 22nd

[cyan coyote]

but you get what I mean, 2 kids up against the likes of alboreto and prost

great to see

I say kid, senna was 25 but he had been racing his whole life

to the f1 scene, he was a kid

[long trout]

yh

mmmmmmmmmmm

[old herald]

2014 cars would want to rear-end that

[long trout]

lol

[old herald]

🤔

[long trout]

perfect fit hehe

[rustic helm]

Right

1991 or 1992?

[long trout]

hmmmm

[rustic helm]

Both Lambos

[long trout]

1991 i guess

[rustic helm]

I prefer 91

It was a weight issue with their engines wasn't it?

[buoyant nebula]

Looks like sth the Joker from Batman would drive

[long trout]

did u use blur tool or unfocus?

if the car is on a different layer you can just use unfocus filter

[rustic helm]

yes

[long trout]

it looks a little strong 😄

[rustic helm]

I used saturation on the car though

[long trout]

ah

[rustic helm]

Yeah if I'm honest the shadow is weird

a little less blur

depth of field?

[long trout]

i like that

[buoyant nebula]

I wonder whether you are able to make old 1990s F1 photos look like as if they were taken today @rustic helm

Not that you have to

I was just thinking

[rustic helm]

How would I do that?

I guess you could saturate them and sharped a little bit

[buoyant nebula]

Color correction too

I tried to make a 2013 Sauber picture look like as if it was taken in the 90s

Let me look it up

Will post it in #creative

[rustic helm]

ok

[buoyant nebula]

Not exactly pre-1997 IK, but that 2003 Toyota looks an awful lot like the F2002: https://www.carsbase.com/photo/Toyota-TF103_mp6_pic_28096.jpg

[old herald]

Werent there actual specularions at that time?

[buoyant nebula]

I thought the TF104 was the car that Toyota based off the Ferrari

But the TF103 looks rather suspect in this regard as well

In that it looks similar to the Ferrari

[rustic helm]

#Twingisntnew

[long trout]

mclaren livery before marlboro... no idea

orange one from late 60s?

[rustic helm]

Wasn't it just orange?

[cyan coyote]

christ that means they had it for atleast 20 years

[long trout]

since early 80s

wait no

75

74 *

[rustic helm]

I have to admit

[cyan coyote]

wow, script

[long trout]

sorry.net

[cyan coyote]

sennas engine cut out on the 2nd last lap then stefans cut out on the last lap so prost wins?

scripttt

[rustic helm]

fits in a lotus somehow

[cyan coyote]

those rear tyres have 2 postcodes lmao

[long trout]

haha

they arent quite 80s but they are pretty big

[rustic helm]

Wait the lotus or the fararara

[long trout]

also closest to a marlboro livery on a modern mclaren f1 :S

[cyan coyote]

lotus

[rustic helm]

Right

Do you guys like the 95... Or was it 96? Ferrari with that high nose or the more traditional nose for the time?

[long trout]

the 96 car had a high and low nose version

high nose was later

[rustic helm]

Ye

That one

[long trout]

and i actually really like both tbh

the car is so nice

to me

[rustic helm]

If only it has a 412 engine haha

[long trout]

also most of the cars in 96 had the high nose

[rustic helm]

Right

[long trout]

the benetton looks so good in beautifully-un-colour-corrected-terrible-contrast-cameras

[rustic helm]

has just seen the 1996 jordan

[buoyant nebula]

The 1996 Jordan is so strange livery wise

[long trout]

hehe

[buoyant nebula]

With the all over gold

[rustic helm]

🍆

[long trout]

i think they could have chosen a better shade

[rustic helm]

Wow

Like the gold is a little dull

[long trout]

yeah

its closer to beige it seems

[rustic helm]

But wow

[buoyant nebula]

Yeah

[rustic helm]

So i have 3 jordans i like

[cyan coyote]

yeah I actually like that

[buoyant nebula]

1996 car design wise has always stood out as a strange year to me

[cyan coyote]

not the yellow one with the shark mouth

[rustic helm]

The 1991,1996,2001

[buoyant nebula]

The high cockpit sides and such

The 2001 Jordan was awesome

[cyan coyote]

but it's...bright yellow

with a shark mouth

[rustic helm]

Sorry bruh

Sharky gnah

[buoyant nebula]

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b0/Jordan_EJ11_(2).jpg

http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt110/khoolihan/DSC03929Ed.jpg Have some EJ10

I remember getting the EJ10 Revell model kit when I was really little

[rustic helm]

Its not that the shark nose is the defining feature... Eveb tho it is

[buoyant nebula]

Broke it thinking it was meant to be a toy lel

[rustic helm]

But i love the balance of the black... And yellow

[cyan coyote]

bright colours on f1 cars 🤢

[long trout]

i like bright colours

something different

[buoyant nebula]

IIRC I got a Ferrari one around the same time

[long trout]

well easy to see for certain

[rustic helm]

@cyan coyote

XD

[cyan coyote]

not a ferrari fan 🤷

[rustic helm]

Oh

Understandable

You guys know my views on ferarar

[buoyant nebula]

Incidentally I have this too

I removed the sponsor decals tho :/

Not really

What are your views then @rustic helm

[long trout]

i havent done any proper models for a long time

i should do some tbh

[rustic helm]

Oh, well past 2000 (with the exception of 2007) i don't like ferraris

[arctic flower]

Nice pictures Semic

[rustic helm]

ty

The 98-00 were nice

And also they're too prestigious to let companies make decent mods

:/

I can tell you what i didn't like about 2000 thougj

[cyan coyote]

https://gyazo.com/07ddb78bb2836d7b8347ee7d853c4243

[long trout]

haha i remember that scare

afaik didnt do anything

[cyan coyote]

I dunno if I should delete and post in general

it's just when salf mentioned mods

[arctic flower]

Don't delete, but yes move it to #deqeneral-🤪

Unless it's pre 1997

[rustic helm]

The 2000 minardi

Wech

[cyan coyote]

wait how do I move without deleting

[arctic flower]

That'd be for #deqeneral-🤪

Just post it in general haha

No need to delete

[long trout]

nais

i would DL a font and use that instead tho

e.g the greatest font ever bebas neue

[cyan coyote]

*comic sans

[rustic helm]

lol

I do have bebas

[long trout]

baebas neue

[rustic helm]

yes I have bebas neue

[long trout]

hehe

[rustic helm]

wat

does it upload for you

[long trout]

no i cant see that pic

just a tiny blank space

[rustic helm]

there

[long trout]

imma make an infographic poster

and naissu

if it was me i'd line it up with the road

[rustic helm]

uhh of course

[long trout]

might use as a wallpaper

can never have enough f1 wallpapers

😄

[rustic helm]

yes of course

you mean line it up like that?

[long trout]

yh

you could line up the top one with the barrier

although that might look a bit odd

[rustic helm]

yes they would be at different angles

[long trout]

already feel like a bit of a c*** for telling you what to do

haha

[rustic helm]

no its fine

What is that font you used for your profile

I think I have it downloaded

but I don't remember the name

[long trout]

monogramos

its a bit of a cheat code really

[rustic helm]

lol

[long trout]

felt bad about using it because it does most of the work for you

[rustic helm]

yes but it looks cool

how do you make it have different letters instead of 3 of the same

[long trout]

edit it

combine them

😄

[rustic helm]

yeah I would have guessed

[long trout]

cut and stick type job

[rustic helm]

yes

[rustic helm]

I will use it for a watermark

[long trout]

now i have to make new logo
