Hi there,

I have a inquiry for the webmaster/admin here at http://www.inracingnews.com.

May I use some of the information from this blog post above if I give a link back to your website?

Thanks,
Mark

I’d be inclined to clinch the deal with you on this. Which is not something I typically do! I really like reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to speak my mind!

This isn’t the same Corvette we already have? Same pic at the top of the pages…

Fantastic.

I love and appreciate your work.

Please keep a developer blog for the Williams F1 car…would be SO INTERESTING!

Sorry, forgot to answer a question directly.

Eddiespag – Nope, that was taken week one @ VIR in a practice session. Just photoshopped heavily as are most of my other screenies. Think I used a orange-ish Lighting Effect, shifted the Hue and Saturation to give it a more “Fall” look if your interested in knowing. Except for DOF, I could legitimately see iRacing looking like that if that is your thing.

I don’t think iRacing will let me touch the secretive stuff. lol

Hey hey hey………

I put in a lot more than just some DOF when I was editing that Screenie. I’m fairly sure that D also has some treatment done to it also. Heck, I could care less what the article said, I’m just amazed that I actually have a little tiny image that I did on this page.

But I did read the article, and wow…. Out on track you don’t really think about the small little things, but man, the detail they do is outstanding.

You cheated with B – it has DOF (depth of field) – iRacing doesn’t (yet). Photoshopping is cheating!

Thanks guys! I’m more accustomed to technical reports than news articles, so it was a little tough to make it not quite so impersonal and… boring.

Don — I prefer to think they are EDUCATED guesses…

Say… in that one screenshot where the Vettes are shown from the back, is that the new future build with all the redone track surface and environmental lighting?

Fantastic insight, thanks Ian – this wasn’t prepared in 30 seconds and I appreciate that.

I think this is just the sort of insight we all could hope for when the notion of a development blog was banded about a while back.
