Ford-Porsche Wars - Round #2 - Cornerstone Raceway

[mether05]

The cars have arrived!! You can feel the excitement in the crisp evening air as the teams unload their cars. Ford and Porsche crews are busy setting up their areas, going over each machine, looking for that one edge, that one difference maker, that will place their car in the winners circle! Drivers are already meeting as evening falls, and the temperatures start to drop, preparing their strategy for race day, only a week away! But first, there are the time trials! Stay tuned...

The suspense is killing me. :lol

Good luck to all you guys, I wish I had entered a car this year.

Thanks, guys!

I've always loved the 60s/70s Porsche racing posters, so I tried to design one in the same style.


Bob is such a taskmaster. I get this email:

WOW,

The # 70 is a MONSTER I'm sure. Smokieo always figures it out rubber tires, silicon tires, no tires, consistently burning up the track!! :auto-layrubber: :auto-layrubber:

[Smokeio]

Oh wow.... 7.2s on that track is pretty fast. I have my fingers crossed this speed lasts for the race. Rubber tires are not my thing but I'm doing my best to get them figured out.

[FC47]

I think you're on to it man! Outstanding!

Next time softer urethane or try rubber for me,
