@ JD121449:
BEAUTIFUL, can hardly wait.

small question: which version of the LeMans circuit is in your pictures ??

Cheers,

i think it´s 67 version

Yes, it is the 67 LeMans track. I thought I would post the readme so you can get familiar with the car.

Here are the Corvettes from the 1960 LeMans race. The #3 car finished first in it's class. I have tried to make them as close to the originals as possible using my somewhat limited talent. I have been working on this car for quite sometime but since I never had a template for it (still have'nt learned  that yet) I never bothered to finish it. When MG421982 (Marian) released his version with a template, it gave me a reason to try to complete it. I want to says thanks to Marian to allow me to use some of his work so that I could bring this car to GTR2 and GTL. Here are a couple of items that are important. This car is very different from the other version. It has a different CAS file, genstring and the file names are unique so there should be no conflict with any other version. There is a genstring explanation at the top of the car file. As it stands right now the top can only be a solid color which is controlled by the xxxxx_1960_LEMANS_CORVETTE_BODY2.DDS file, the default color is white. The template from MG421982 may be updated at a later date. Also the center rear window section can be colored by the xxxxx_1960_LEMANS_CORVETTE_CPIT03.DDS file. The default color is light blue as it appears in a lot of photos that it had this kind of tint. Also the basic color of the dash and interior can be colored by using the xxxxx_1960_LEMANS_CORVETTE_CPIT02.DDS file, the default color is a light aqua. This does not changee the seat color, but that can be done by using a custom CORVETTE_1958_BODY.DDS file (Recolor the seat part only) and place it in the car folder you want to change. The sounds are the same as MG421982 used in his mod, so if you can hear that car you should be OK, if not you will have to copy the correct sound folder to your GTR2 install.  The physics were altered by me and the engine and gearbox also differ from the GTL version that was released. If you want to convert this to GTL, that is OK by me. Be aware that I have sent the hardtops to Marian and he may add them to his GTL version. However this file structure is totally different so there would not be a conflict. Lastly the car does not need any other mods to make it work, however the class line has it located in the 65-GTC class which was linked to the GTL-GTR2 mod. You can edit this line to put it anywhere that you like. I think that about sums it up. I hope you like it.

PS: Since I really suck at painting, if someone wanted to do the 4 LeMans skins a little more accurately, that would be huge! I have to admit though, I really did NAIL the white parts!!!!  

Thanks JD & ville33
I found it, nice !!!

Cheers,

The car was plain white with 2 blue lines (American colors for race cars at that time) and only the headlights were painted blue and red for #2 and #3.That's easy to do in a minute but could make the #4 Camoradi car that ran the Targa Florio and Le Mans

Hi Ned ! Sent you a PM regarding the TR3. Did you get it ?!!?

Going back to the Corvettes... I have doubts this picture represents the car in the actual 1960 race. Maybe it was taken in Quali, Practice etc, but not the race. I'm saying this because the cars had the headlights covered... and if this is not a good clue, then I know the cars sported black exterior mirror (can't remember about the interior mirror) and not a chromed mirror. It was painted black to get rid of the shine created by the chrome which affected the driver. That's why the SW was black, the interior too etc.

The outside Mirror and the Inside seemed black  " />

Very Nice!

Here are the final 4 pictures. The download should be ready tomorrow. I added another style of headlight covers (2 Car), and the rear center window color is default gray glass but still can be tinted. Right click,view image for a larger look.
