I'm somewhat disappointed/annoyed by being the only person to submit cars to the list - you do know the rest of you can as well? :rofl:

Taking a pic from ingame is the best. If you take it from careditor it looks ten time crappier. :mrgreen:

Do a small track full of tarmac and zoom it as much as possible, so the the car will take most of the picture. Then you'll just have to cut the bottom panel (race stats) and resize image to paste it on site.

Or I create a track where you can't see the car in full size -> no need to resize...
what about that?
EDIT:
a small preview (with my Global GT light). that would also be possible with bigger cars :D

Yeah that looks good.
Maybe you could do dithering, it looks better as you can see:
Did I say dithering correctly?

Meh, how can it so tough to decide such an insignificant thing?

Btw, Sutinen, the dithering in your car preview track is ugly.

@XYY
Maaybe you could try a little bit lower view angle, so the face of the car would be better to see. But it's optional.

And I'd still have got a question: what about cars like my Global GT light?
Are those formulas?
AFAIK not
and those aren't street cars either
So I'd like to have a category called "race" (and maybe delete formula :shrug: )

I'd like to add a "race" category.
Any opinions (or other ideas)? :really:

I would prefer just one - no matter if you'll make F1, Fiesta, space-shuttle or turtle. :shrug:

Is this a request? :scratch:

@Topic

But really, why do we need to have categories? And who and how would decide, if Ferrari 360 is road car, but if we add a wing it becomes a racing car?

Categories are not necessary but nice for statistics.
