AMWEC '15 [Finished]

[squidhead]

EDIT That said, I will plan of doing a 90's 24 hrs of le mans (before the AMWEC '16), with LMP, GT1 and GT2 classes, with higher power/weight ratio.

We... are IN we even got the car to build it off

[Speedemon]

Either you're a bit late, or very early to the party! I'm so confused right now.

I read that and thought he was preparing for future seasons, but now I'm slightly confused as well.

I am planning for future seasons. My car, trim, and engine is 2016. I am tuning it right now!

[strop]

Yeah so that explains why I was confused, why are you tuning with a 2016 trim when sillyworld is intending to make the next season in the 90s?

[squidhead]

I am planning for future seasons. My car, trim, and engine is 2016. I am tuning it right now!

What if the FIA (Sillyworld) changes the technical reglament for the series?

[Sillyworld]

The AMWEC is coming to Brazil!

Well... he is just planning and designing, but we are a few weeks (cough cough, months) from that
EDIT: And yes, there will be changes, like (probably) free displacement for the AGTE (but both production and race trim should share the same engine family), secuential gearbox for AP2, a revised minimum weight and perhaps a bigger power to weight ratio...

And if there will be update in stable (nonbeta) version, we will get 12V in AMWEC

[koolkei]

12V? did you mean 12Volt car electrical system or V12?

[AirJordan]

Hahaha my bad although hybrid would also be nice, just not 12V one

[UMGaming]

Hahaha my bad although hybrid would also be nice, just not 12V one

more like 12000V

Pics from the last event (I was going to make more, but it's quite time consuming).


Scirocco Racing NV810 on-board.


The winning Zeus GT spec.

That's awesome, I know just how time consuming this can be, plus how difficult it is to get the cars lined up right due to the differering perspective and parallax (there's no way to really get the right reference point for a shot like the bottom one as far as I know). Nice attention to detail too, having (what I assume is) the NV820 one second behind the Zeus.

I am working on the proper livery of the Zeus GTE spec with all the sponsor logos (some real life companies and some fictional). I also plan for my company to offer to sponsor the Australian event, so will forward you a logo.

[squidhead]

This is so badass!

[strop]

Okay, this took me a lot longer than planned, but here's a poster with the livery (from the side) of the Zeus GTE.

Image is the small version otherwise it would totally blow past 800kb. Click on it to go to the link so you can see it at a higher resolution.



The original background belonged to a poster for an Infiniti sedan, which was a LOT larger and taller than this car. That meant I ended up having to clean out the car and draw in more smoke. In retrospect that wasn't very efficient.

Involved in the running of the Zeus GTE are a number of companies, both real and fictional. Obviously the reference to real companies sponsoring the car are fictional too.

BMMA, Znopresk, Gryphon Gear are obviously the builders. Cen drafted and I finetuned the amalgamated logo signifying the cooperation between Znopresk and GG.

Sponsors in order of logo appearance:

• Squid Inc.- fictional big stationery company. What a stationery company is doing sponsoring a race car, eh, I don't know. Cen drew the logo and it was cool
• Michelin- trusty choice of tyre, which I picked largely because squidhead's Sepang sports Michelin so I presumed they were an official tyre supplier
• Duracell- I was surprised to discover they sponsor quite the range of big things, most recently a promo deal with the Star Wars franchise, and another promo deal with the NFL
• BMMA- a Znopresk subsidiary, logo courtesy of NormanVauxhall
• Znopresk- the main branch, so to speak. Logo courtesy of NormanVauxhall
• Gryphon Gear- my car company
• Team Ninja Horse- Gryphon Gear's in-house small racing division, founded by but thankfully no longer run by Strop, seeing as he founded it on an impulse which almost destroyed the company
• Sparco- anybody who knows motorsport should know this company. In this case, main supplier of Kai's wardrobe
• Teal Deer- Networking To The Point. Fictional cloud storage and IT logistics company. Created by Cen
• Dödval- Translates to 'dead whale'. Fictional Swedish oil company. Hilariously inappropriate name thought by Cen, I couldn't resist drawing the logo

The triple stripe on the side of the car is the Znopresk racing colours.

Baldi and Bovolo are two of the professional drivers from the Znopresk pool. Kristensen is GG's own racing driver, Kai.

p.s. I totally edited the paintjob. It's an orange-red pearlescent, one of my favourite two-tones. Must be hell to maintain though, just hope that the car doesn't get into any accidents!

[squidhead]

This is seriously awesome. Love it.
I think we should have an automation photoshop/art type thread for these somewhere on these forums.

[strop]

I almost forgot, there totally is. I'll put it up there later.

Here it is, it tends to be a little sparsely populated though. There's already some good stuff on the forums that isn't in here.
