Great shots, dlrws6!  Lovin these pit shots.

Also, if/when we are ever in the same race together, please take no offense if I accidentally call you David.  When I see "dlr" my brain automatically goes to "David Lee Roth."   :)

While I'm posting pics, might as well throw these in.

Picked up this used Vette, and painted as close to the same color as I could, to the 77 we use to have.


Ran across another rally car I didn't have. Turned some laps at "Banked Like A MoFo".

No problem, I get it all the time.  People seem to think David and Daniel are interchangeable, so I just go with the flow. Being called Paul on the other hand,  :(  I don't get it and it happens way too often.

I've learned for most tracks the best way to get good pit photos is to move the free roam camera over to the pit road exit and photograph looking down pit road. The tricky part is, if the car you are watching hits pit road you loose the ability to switch to the free roam camera. So you've either got to park a car and wait for pit stops or follow the first car out or last car on pit road and get your timing just right.

The tricky part you described is the exact problem I was having.  Thanks for the tip!   :)

I've had this car for some time now, though I have not driven it. Thought it was probably one of those that is hard to come by. I haven't seen it since.

I've been trying to duplicate a car I had in GT4 lately. 1000HP Mitsubishi!!! I thought it was the 3000GT VR-4 Turbo, but I guess not. Ran across the GTO twin turbo tonight, and while it's close, it's not doing what I'm looking for. It was definitely a variation of this car, but 3 cars and several hundred thousand credits later, no success.

Anyway, here's the GTO with 692hp, and a 222mph top speed at SSR7.


222


fireworks


M3 CSL, and is a pretty fun car stock, made even funner with race suspension and tires.


Unless you're trying to collect every car, don't waste your credits on this POS.

6500rpm redline, and just chugs like it's got an anchor tied to the back.

Great shots as usual, Chrome.   :)

I really like the M3 shot with the tree hanging over the barrier like that.
