So got a old photoshop program and decided to paint a truck (note: this is mainly testing my skills in photoshop)
The Random (WIP) Screenshot Thread
- Thread starter Lastlap
- Start date
If all goes to plan, the facelift of my Karl's Superstore track will be available for download this coming Sunday, coinciding with the FARC Lowe Dollar Series race stream.
This is a street course situated around the flagship Karl's Superstore location in Jonesboro, Arkansas. The map is loosely based on a real life Wal-Mart location in the same city. The track measures at 8/10 of a mile and features a counterclockwise rectangular layout, plus a discount Corkscrew leading to the final corner. The Karl's store model is available for download on this site.
A birds-eye view of cars going around the track. The store's name is helpfully painted on the roof.
FARC points leader Daniel Sharp (#7 Mr. Aid Tonare) and Tex Gwaltney (#2 SSF Lenard) find that the frontstretch pit exit is... not ideal. Neither is the side street that Sharp is bouncing over. Drivers have been complaining about that bump all week, but officials claim that there is no such word as "concussion". Shoutout to the brave redshirt standing on the right.
Laura Cyrus (#3 Mobile Johns Lenard) rounds the final corner, trying her best to ignore the PR disaster (or just free publicity?) for her sponsor... which is also her family's business.
Sean Boyd (#63 Big Boyd Saar) approaches turn 3 in this look up the backstretch, while FARC debutante Bert Hornberger (#69 Bert's Used Lingerie Lenard) holds up traffic.
"MPJ" Michaela Perry-Jones (#86 Q-Trim Tape Inglesby) crosses the start/finish line. What do you mean, "someone might hit those gaps"?
Meghan Gallagher (#22 Royal Treatment Lycoia) has trouble in the makeshift Corkscrew as Rick Forest (#60 Tiger Energy Saar) and Harve Henry (#44 JJC Inglesby) approach.

Man, awesome! It would be great if someone would take the time to work on those exhibition carsets so this update could be put to good use!PROGRESS... but slow:
But still progress??
** Update will be themed as the mapping is not 100% correct.
SOooo...
We know the races, we have seen the footage/coverage...
But what about a 'trkshot'* that covers both Suzuka races that is not from either race??
* Dale Sr tire test in '95

I'm wanting a themed 'trkwin'** that covers both years with a programme style look.
** Very Rough - many changes to be made. Does this work?
For some reason, my Prt Scr & any capture software doesn't make a screenshot of the track win screen that's not black.
Credits: Brian Zager for the trkwin template from back in the day.

trkwin complete and moving on....
suzuka_east Project 'S' Curves:
So, the billboards are not 100% correct in the their location or size, so again this will be a themed '96/'97 update.
Billboard Missing*
Toyota - Million Card
Foster's - Arai Helmets
Fuji TV - Shell
Fuji Film - NGK
Marlboro - Nikon
HSBC - Big John
Billboard Extra* Elf - Green/blank ('97)
Bridgestone - Panasonic Car Audio
Vodafone - ???
PIAA - PIAA (different logo with text underneath)
@Slipster17 You've probably watched more of this footage than anyone. Your thoughts on some of this?
The text under Shell? Is it just a blue/white trim on Arai? LOL... I've got creative license with this but still some want ideas & input from all.
What should the Vodafone billboard be (there are many other sponsors/billboards from the real track to possibly use)?

The random things you find... F1 at Suzuka in '87.
I have the Racing Specialities logo by chance, not sure the text at the top.
"Join the team of"??

I've found better images... but I still have no clue as what this brand is??
Based on my scribbles and comparing those characters to Japanese Katakana - it looks like that sign reads ウェルテ (Welte) but a brief search isn't bringing anything up based solely on that. The object beside it seems to says 'TATOS........' but that isn't proving helpful without the ウェルテ part
