Based on a conversation Shortt Sirket and I had in the middle of the Green Hell race, about early '90s Touring Cars and Fox-bodied Mustangs being raced in DTM, here's an idea for
The G/A/F? Touring Car Series!

Elegible cars:
Start with:
- A '90-'93, 4-5 passenger car.

End with:
- No more than 450HP
- No more than 3000 lbs
- No less than 2100 lbs
- Roll cage
- PI of 600 or less.
- Livery

This makes the E30 M3, 190E, and Mustang all eligible, amongst some others.

Thoughts?

Just want to let you know guys that paints for Pinto and Gallardo are up in my storefront, so if someone has an early code can grab it now. Who knows, there might be more paints coming later tonight ;)

G Rom love the pictures mate, it looks like you have awesome photomode settings, could you share the settings? If so please send me a pm.

I know AutoVista is not for everyone, but I hope we see some DLC for it soon. Some of the cars from the recent packs would be awesome for AV like the Huayra. Maybe with the new Top Gear series starting we will see some sort of Top Gear DLC pack.

I love this idea, absolutely. We might be able to add it in to Season 2 of our races or whatever we decide to do soon. I really dig the idea though as those are some of my favorite cars to drive.

If you're gonna do something like this, you'd really want to build a bunch of cars ahead of time to see how competitive the cars would be. Like here, I'm pretty sure the 190E would be the most competitive car by a good margin on most tracks. If half the fun of touring cars is diversity and competitiveness, you'd really want to take time to come up with a tested set of regulations. Or maybe even have cars pre-built to choose from that have been designed to be competitive with each other, regardless of what the PI says. You could actually have competitive FWD and AWD cars this way as well, despite the disadvantage the PI system applies to them in the game.

I am going to upload the livery to my storefront (all for free of course) tonight. I'm also gonna adapt it to the Jalopnik pack Zonda and throw it up there. I actually want to use it as an official livery for some closed spec races coming up, with some very special prizes (SarBear knows what I'm talkin about!)

Sounds good! :)

My triple a Gallardo Design is finished and I'll upload it to my main Storefront as soon as the season pass DLC is active (Tuesday morning 1/3)

As usual I cut it pretty close - maxed out layers on top and sides

Thanks Jube!!!

As for my settings, I don't think they really have anything special. Contrast and brightness are mostly useless, I bump colors a lot and compensate with sepia to tone down saturated colors. I use exposure (which doesn't behave like real exposure at all) to tone down bloom when needed or to show more details depending on the angle and place on track.
I believe FM4 has way less room for visual improvement compared to FM3 in photo mode, mainly due to the two almost useless sliders. It all comes down to knowing how to hide the graphical shortcomings of the game IMO (if you want realistic photos of course). For example in the RS5 pic I posted I did something I almost never do. I used both motion blur and lots of depth of field blur. This creates the weird painting-like road you see on the bottom of the photo. It's something that was already happening in FM3.

Speaking of stuff that was already in FM3, the game is starting to slow to a crawl each time I save a photo, looks like they didn't fix that bug (I've passed the 300 photos). :(

EDIT: final video posted: Jalopnik Pack DLC (RS5 Coupe, Alfa Montreal, Impala SS, Shelby Omni, Fiat Coupe, Ford Pinto, Civic Si Coupe)

Click to expand...
In the in-game marketplace tomorrow. The Pagani will most likely only be sold with the pack though.


I'm having a lot of fun with the Impala and the RS5 (RWD). I need to save money to buy the Huayra in the career though. :lol

The Pinto is the surprise of the pack for me, it's like a mean bull terrier running around in A-class, and the sound with the Focus-swap and some turbos is phenomenal.

Yeah, already started doing that. I agree that pre-built might make the most sense. I think the Mustang will need more power to be competitive, but it might be my driving style.

My replay cuts out too. I thought I had caught up and passed RetroBrand (though maybe it only happened once before three of us crashed). I remember for sure that Meurte X was on my tail and would have taken me had we made it to the final stretch (and he was very vocal about it at the time).

Is there a 30 minute limit on the saved replays perhaps? Maybe people could try to snap a photo with their camera phones or something at the end of long races when the results display, could help with confusion.

I think I wound up in 5th at Nurburgring by the end. But not a big deal since I just started and don't really have a horse in the season standings.

And that Omni sounds way better than I was expecting! Just great.

It is a weird glitch with the Top Gear Mile track.

And as for Time Trials, I will try to get an interesting one up this week.

Dear god, thank you folk for providing the people with HD racing game footage amidst droughts of information. I remember there being some stretches leading up to PGR3 and 4 where there was no PR or anything coming out and random videos from Taxigamer would pop up and make my day :lol

Don't be affraid to dream bigger my friend. I've just beaten an S Class AI field full of 599 GTO, 458, GT-R, MP4-12C, etc... with my Mustang powered AWD Pinto on Road America. :lol
The replay is so funny with the crazy shitbox among the supercars. :lol

Some stats of my crazy Pinto :
0-60 mph : 2.750s
0-100 mph : 5.484s
Top speed : 300.5 kph

Edit : Yes enzo_gt, I "work" for that site. Thanks for the comments. :)
Racing games are our favorite type of game so that's not really surprising that you know us for that since we have an overwhelming amount of videos of those. :D

I remember now that Granholme missed his pit on lap 4, so he went ahead and pitted on lap 5, which can account for some of the change up.

I also missed mine and did it beginning of lap 5. I believe I was taken over by 4th place while pitting. My replay also cuts out at that point, btw

2 very interesting races on Sunday.
my 3 year old nerfed the power in my wheel, so i was on battery power, but the 30min sucked my battery power dry... on lap 1 of the MX race. so i had to change to the controller and then put in some laps!
so it was nice to come 3rd from the bottom.

the R2 race was a disaster, i chickened out of my 458 rocketship because i knew i would have a hard time with the pad, so i went for the default tune f50GT... which didnt go too well.
again i was last and again i was able to claw some places... well one.

DTM cars or international touring on some race tracks would be great. NOT SILVERSTONE aka bloomsville.

Here is the last paint for tonight guys, It's very simple but I really don't have more time, I gotta go get some sleep. The paint will be on the storefront probably till Wednesday (maybe Thursday) and I'll try to redo it a little, to give it more spark (not enough time now). It's not bad, it's just simple but there might be people that gonna like it :)

Any chance you could help others out too GRom/SarBear?
I was having an ok time taking shots in FM3, but i cant seem to make this version suit my habits...

This is the best I could come up with so far...is it ok?
I can see what you mean with regards to the bloom on exposure and how little difference brightness and contrast settings make...
