TCC photos

well watched the replays from last night and struggled to find a picture, seems to me silverstone doesn`t really create an easy photo and i was having to make one.

not really happy with either but best i could manage.

Need to get all 9 cars together and lined up Si

Tried that. Failed epicly.  

Some silly moo had router issues and caused a very ouchy lag spike...she shall remain nameless

Tonight people!!!! Need to finalise my paint scheme

A few from the lobby after you all had left.


















I had to include these ones because it shows how much cooler than Lucy is than me. Better rims choice and colour. (I'm guessing they're Team Dynamics rims) Her car is much much lower. Fully tinted windows, and the vented bonnet.

Brill pics  
You r right Daniel they are Team Dynamics rims...in anthracite of course
Ref ride height, I don't care how much quicker it is around a corner to lift the height a bit...nice and low looks soooo much better and very much quicker when sitting still
Only problem is this equals Vanity 3 v 0 Actual race pace

PS. Does anyone else think the rear pillar/bootline of the Lexus looks a bit like a Pug 405/406???

Well in that case...

To do list:

• Change Rims
  
• Change colour of rims
  
• Lower car (at least a little bit)
  
• Change mirror colour (and maybe window banner too)
  
• Tint windows

Job Done.  

P.s. I do see where you're coming from with the Peugeot reference.

Lol then u too can be like me...last but looking good doing it teehee

Mirror colour is a spotting who is who thing, like the yellow flashes on F1 cars I'm easy to spot cus i normally have purple mirrors...much quicker than remembering whos which number

Looking forward to the pictures from last night, there should be some good ones

Just posted this on the TORA forum, under the media section.

Pixel Motorsport has three teams entering this seasons TCC... although trying to get all nine drivers on track at the same time for some images proved difficult. So we made do with five of us instead.

We have...


Pixel Motorsport Perfection (an ambitious name if you ask me) running a Milwaukee backed Megane.


Pixel Motorsport Mash Up (the polar opposite of perfection) in a Vimto sponsored Lexus.


And finally, Pixel Pro Stars (hhmmm) and their Subaru by Yahoo!


The line up.


The close-up-line-up.


The scatter method.


The Harlem Shake TORA edition?

See you all out on track.  

I thought I'd better leave it at that, otherwise I'd get told off for taking over the thread. However, for the benefit of ourselves, here are some more.















Tadaaahhh! Good enough?

Awesome Dan, 5th is simply stunning

quality stuff, well done to everyone who helped build, tune and paint these as they really do the club proud  

as always daniel your eye for a shot always impresses me and the actually picture itself is superb, thank you  

seems the paints have gone down well over at tora
   

They r awesome i soooo love picie time

These can be viewed over on the TORA TCC Media thread too.

Seeing some good images from a lot of different lobbies. Here's how E lobby went on. All images taken from Race 3 (as it was the closest from my point-of-view).


Posimosh and Smurfy lead into the first corner... all clean so far.


Have to give a nod to the lobby host Scarlet, who did a great job, I thought. Clear and concise.


Getting a bit tight into Brooklands.


With the two Beemers trying to scamper off, it was up to Raven to fend off the chasing pack.


My fellow club mate Cobra, getting a push from one of the CRA boys. Those Scooby's don't need any extra help to go sideways.  


Kilroy joining in the action, making a 6 car freight train...


... which later on became a four wide stampede barrelling down the Wellington Straight.


All the while, Posimosh continued to lead with Smurfy and Scarlet trying to chase him down.


The battles in the midfield seemed to go on for the entirety of the race.

And as for my favourite moment...

Going wing mirror to wing mirror with Scarlet down the back straight. I got as close as I dare without touching him. Think it was close enough?  

Great pics again Dan, the Scooby does like incredibly mean head on  

Some nice pics there

Alrighty then. Here's some images from D lobby, Race 2 and Race 3. I'll be putting them over on the TORA forum too after this, so some of my usual tongue in cheek comment may have to be toned down a little.  

D Lobby, hosted by sbiggs. Race 2.


Thirteen into one does go, as we all just about made it through the first turn safely... I think.


The sight and sound of locked brakes was a regular occurrence down at the La Caixa Hairpin. Here's Urban in a Subaru Renault sandwich.


The difference in speed of the FWD's to the RWD's through the last part of the lap made for some close racing.


The mid-field battle seems endless. Here we see aggerdo fending off Urban.


The lobby host, sbiggs, doing his best to keep pace with one of the Prostar Scooby's.


At the front, I had been leading, until Fatal Peanut (BMW 1M) pulled the perfect pass down into turn one. I made an attempt to regain the lead at La Caixa, with little success; leaving me to fend off Jabber (Volvo S60) and my team mate ID (in the other Vimto Lexus)

D Lobby, hosted by sbiggs. Race 3


The reverse grid races are nigh-on always interesting... messy. And this was no exception, kicking off right away at turn one. Squeeaaal, bump, bash, "oooopppss, sorry" "siiiiiiggggghh" Not the best possible start.


This isn't the formation lap! This is the actual race. Going two by two into the last chicane isn't always advisable, but everyone seemed to come out the other side okay.


I have to say, I love the addition of the front teeth to totlxtc's Megane. They look great.


sbiggs and CRA Urban, with Cobra and Jabber in the background.


As I was saying, race 3 is always close. This is lap 5 or 6, and 2nd to 13th place are all in the same shot.


I had to include a shot of Jabber's Volvo. I think it looks awesome.


My rear bumper must have tasted real nice, because on a good few occasions Magic was having a good munch coming out of the chicane and through the last bend.


At the front, pikeysmurf had led nine of the eleven laps in his Subaru, until lap ten, when he was passed by totlxtc's Megane into turn one.

Nice pics Daniel as always  
The Magic nibbling comment made my smile...just watched race 3 from his perspective to see what his issues were and there was quite a few 'gentle' 'im here' nudges going on

Tell me about it. That's why I made sure he didn't get past me. There was no way he was coming through after he'd been continually bumping me through the whole of the last corner on more than one occasion. You can be on the inside... but I'm still going to drive round you!

TORA TCC Season 8, Mugello Round. Lobby D, Race 3. Hosted by LastNewtStandin.

I'll put these over on the TORA forum in the media thread too.


Wheelwash leads the way through turn one followed by WizardWoz and Zakspeed, leaving the rest of the FWD RWD combinations to sort themselves out.


This is a view Beanz would get used to for most of the race. Magic was proving particularly difficult to get passed.


Smithy trying to bridge the gap between the rear group and the developing front group.


With Wheelwash and WizardWoz establishing themselves a nice lead in 1st and 2nd, it was left to Magic to lead the bunch.


Zakspeed using all the track and a little bit more but loosing momentum and allowing Smithy to sneak through.


Myself and Zakspeed going two wide into turn one. I have to give him credit, it was a fairly late dive, but he was more than fair and gave me plenty of room. He had the last laugh though when I went grass tracking a few laps later.


Apex did a good job fending of my club mate Wicked Singe for most of the race.


Magic still fending of Beanz with Smithy closing in on the pair of them.


WizardWoz maintaining his 2nd place, with Smithy, now passed Beanz and up the inside of Magic too.


Basher keeping tabs on Singe and Apex.

It was a well behaved race all round with some close clean racing; until 2 laps to go...


Newt made the pass on Beanz but went in deeper than planned and tapped Magic. Queue tandem drift session.

Beanz scampered through, Zakspeed too, and I managed to get through Newt, but allowed Basher a run on the pair of us into the penultimate corner...

...where we all decided the grass must have had more grip than the tarmac    


And it wasn't over. Now on the last lap, Newt, Singe and I went three wide through turn two. And all of this was for 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th. It was certainly entertaining, even if I was a little frustrated with the end result; but hey. That's touring car racing.

Oh... and your winner.

ATP Wheelwash, by a good half a pit straight. He often does some great images and puts other in the limelight, so I thought I'd return the favour. My images may not have the same colour, contrast or post production... but I do my best.
