GTLDK Datsun 240Z

[Pelle_B]

Congratulations - great turnout!

Thx ...a fantastic race with 3 pit stops for fuel & after what I can see of lap times, I was the only one who spent time changing tires, happened in my second pit stop.
It's my Team boss in the yellow 240Z The race was run on 3 servers & winner is of course the best time for all 78 laps
Server #1, Server #2 & Server #3

Great Paul Newman Datsun 280ZX, it's unfortunately already built for GTL, but next season I'll try if I can switch to our own #33 240Z in the ETCC series

One thing when you build a car, find a picture to follow...but for each race, maybe a little change. I go for what I think is the nicest in design. This #33 was really a challenge & with things many would not think about. For example, both #22 & #33 have red backlights (no orange) & in real life it is in both versions regardless of 240Z or up to 280ZX.

260Z



On this pic, the design is broken with #33 on the door, 33 does not follow the white line.

Maybe some have noticed tires, every Datsun in GTL is with nothing or Good'Year, #22 is with Hoosier & here it became a bit of fun.
I looked a little closer at my team mate at ABB in car #38, here is GOODYEAR tire, but advertising for HOOSIER this would never happen in real...

...or, yes it can

Sry, after wild discussions here on ...yes, #33 was discarded & needed a 'Windows Update',
now with Bob Sharp Racing on the front window, tyres + more Now v1.2
At the same time, #22 got a cosmetic update + new tyres, now v1.8

Pictures of the latest updates (#22 v1.8/#33 v1.2) & this time...FINAL

[Pelle_B]

Final, who said the final? This is one of many projects that 'may' never be done. Fun, or pure blasphemy

Compared to the real Ford GT40...oops, it's not done either > UPDATE

...but we're missing a 240Z in the right GTLDK colors

[Pelle_B]

Note: #22 v1.8 & #33 v1.2 fails nothing & can still be used, these are only ETCC updates

#22 now v1.9
#33 now v1.5

The biggest update is #33 that has got Paul Newman helmet/body
#33 v1.5

#33 v1.2

Another update if you look sharp on the tires, now with TURTLE WAX BLACK on v1.5

The same updates to IMSA + #33 is v1.7. At #22, the ETCC is changed with GTU + MipMap Levels is corrected. *This update is important*

#22 now v1.9
#33 now v1.7

v1.5 v1.7

Call it pure fly fucking, complete hysterical update on this v1.7 (between wheels, just below #33)

Beautiful, beautiful car. I remember the first time I saw a stock 240Z near my home ... amazing. I had friends who owned the 1600 and 2000 Datsun Roadster ... but the 240Z, like the Mustang in when it came out ... was a game changer.

BTW ... here in the US my friends and I called Japanese cars (The 240, the little Datsun 1200, the B210, and all the others) ... "British Cars, but built correctly." The 240Z even had knock-off SU Carbs!

Bob Sharp and PLN raced all over the US ... and it seemed sometimes that they would win EVERY race sometimes. I have never understood why these have never showed up for Assetto Corsa.

BTW ... PLN got his real start in a Triumph TR6 ... this is the car he started winning in. ANOTHER great car that isn't in Assetto Corsa ... nor the Spitfire or GT6. Maybe I should change games?
