just seen loads of photos for FIA GT 1997-1998 on racingsportscars.com.

You probably already know it, but thought I'd pretend to be helpful!!

Yeah I already knew about that, ta anyway!

Personally I find there's nowt better than something that was written at the time, it gives a different view on things compared to stuff you find written retrospectively on the internet and you can often pick up useful nuggets of information.
For instance the BTCC books I've got from the super touring era give reviews of every race, plus lap times and stuff, technical data and a bit of background to the teams and drivers that you simply can't find on the internet. It's not essential but it just helps make the carsets that bit more true to life.

I also took an interest in the ISRS from 1997-1998, the SportsRacing WORLD CUP from 1999-2000, and the FIA Sportscar Championship from 2001-2003.

By the way, I can't wait for your BTCC 1994 carset, mainly for that Volvo estate.......

Greyhead · Post by **Greyhead** » 04.12.2009, 00:02

Hmmm... well I'm not sure there will be a Volvo estate. I might have to use a bit of artistic licence and make it a saloon. The problem is that there are three distinct shapes, the saloon (Ford, Vauxhall, BMW etc), the hatchback (Renault) and the estate (Volvo). Because there was never a saloon version of the Laguna, it makes more sense (to me at least) to have a saloon and hatchback shape and have the Volvo as a saloon. But I haven't started drawing them yet so we shall see...

Well I've started work on the 1998 FIA GT carset.

All the driver grips and stuff are sorted, and also one of the carshapes.

Very cool!

Cheers! After a slow start, this project is starting to move along now. I'm just about to start painting the Mercs. Couldn't say how long this whole carset will take but I hope it'll be finished sometime in February.

Been beavering away and I've come up with the template for the Mercedes.

I ADORE IT!!! Really can't wait for this one!!

This is an absolutely amazing result! The solution for the front end of the carset is very good, it makes the shape look more original and still works with the bitmap. It's great to see someone else working on GT-cars and it could give me also some new motivation! Please keep us informed!!

Thanks lads

I've painted the AMG Mercs now, going to do the Persson versions soon and then I'll post a few previews. It's going a lot quicker than I expected at the moment to be honest! Mind you, the Porsches have a pretty complicated looking livery so that might take a while...
