Subaru is out!
Nick F40 replied to Scalefinishes's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I know, I know that Porsche wasn't going to be a factory deal in Grand Am but it's going to give them what they wanted, wins And yeah my point, they're running in the European circuit! I'm in the US! The second post in the Grassroots article is also a good point. -
Subaru is out!
Nick F40 replied to Scalefinishes's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Sorry for the double post, thought this is interesting Australian motorsports http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=107079 This ones the best when it comes to this topic and who else better to discuss it http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm...ing/5758/page1/ Skoda is a neat plus put Audi quitting LeMans in all? The Spec engine I saw coming. The thing that really striked me when I read that first post is, will the grassroots events have more turnout and interest? -
Subaru is out!
Nick F40 replied to Scalefinishes's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Harry, yeah you wouldn't even if all of them dropped, it'll be like Spec Miata, just not as good as Spec Miata. When you say it, it really looks bad doesn't it, everybody is leaving; Audi (big maistake), Porsche (understandable), Honda, (kind of saw it coming and with exclusion of BAR and such and not really competition) but AMA? they did great! or is it Kawasaki and Suzuki were dominating? Are they going to focus on SBK? MotoGP? what I wonder is will they come back? What in the world is Toyota worried about? Cheating again? If you notice though, Audi wants to focus on thei R15, DTM Touring Car and the R8 LMS for cutomer use in GT3 for ELMS, the real competition, so it's a smack in the face really, and Speed needs to get their butt in gear with coverage in that case. Yeah I agree, I don't think it will hurt though, becuase the enthusiasts already "know" about the car and it's racing pedigree, you know what I mean? I agree with what VW Dave said, it isn't going to be the same because that was the main car, in the latest WRC but it's surprising that Subaru would do that, that was their hope, thanks Speed. Although somehow this doesn't surprise me because practically everybody dropped out and went road racing or F1 after they were cught cheating so their wasn't much left so all that'ss be left is Citroen and Europe Ford? I can't believe Suzuki dropped out also, I mean, they were kind of in the background for the most part but it still gave competition, I guess they'll focus on SBK and MotoGP. As with Porsche, they wanted to focus on racing that was more at a competitive level for them and Grand Am is it, can not wait for that season to start. -
1/5 scale Porsche 956
Nick F40 replied to monkeyclaw's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
This is going to be interesting, always liked these as well. I like the livery you're going to use. This is RC car size, oh man, like with Brenden, imagine the engine and the running gear. This guy wants the entire collection that won at LeMans? and he WON there? wow. How much $$$? Brenden, I love that Ferrari I have that one issure of RC Driver where they did the article about it, amazing and the sound... -
holy carbon fiber
-
I'll be watching this one! This is just so cool looking.
-
Oh yeah! This is just insane
-
Oh, I know this one.
-
Wow, I like this...alot. I love this model. The paint is flawless. Of how big your hands are, it futher amazes me... Your thumbs the size of the windshield for crying out loud

Winter is here...and it sucks
Nick F40 replied to VW Dave's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Ahhhh jeez, it smashed the Manx, aww man! I actually looks kind of cool, but I imagine....must have been fun, with the lights even...they weren't blinking right? -
What is that? What makes it German? I guess i'll give you that, the cat isn't a Capri though.
-
Nice This is coming along very nicely. I love the pedal, it is kind of a shame but at least you know it's there and we do! I also can't wait for the body. Chris, I'm wanting the same thing
-
Doesn't surprise me too much, they already have their fill with IRL so. Sweet, Cosworth for the win! The spec engine is what they basically are now so this won't be too different, it would be interesting, if FIA pursues. Man, if they do that, it'll be officially like NA$CAR It was because of the Singapore Grand Prix

I thought it was a good one try this, I love this

Revell Discontinuing NASCAR Model Kits
Nick F40 replied to larrygre's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Thanks and cool. That has been for a while. They use the Daytona circuit but NA$CAR hasn't really affected it really, not at all. It has probably the best racing in Sports Car racing and the drivers even stated, even if the fans didn't come and no ownership, they would still race because it's fun and that's what they love to do. oh yeah I wonder why...? -
Revell Discontinuing NASCAR Model Kits
Nick F40 replied to larrygre's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Which is what's sad. Grand Am and USTCC and Touring Cars and rally in general are still good ones but nope, you never hear about them, it doesn't bring in 35 million a month. -
Brenden, it's nice to see ya! No Chris, it's not a steam roller Not exactly but yeah lots 'o fun! Great info. Well, this guy does run it because it's a Berg Scirocco What's a B/U light switch What gearbox... I wasn't sure on the car or even the engine, I just saw it and figured one of you would get it.

Revell Discontinuing NASCAR Model Kits
Nick F40 replied to larrygre's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
sooo for the last 20 years...or so? -
I have no clue what the car is
-
Very hopefully this isn't as much
-
This is looking great. I love this car. The wheels are bright. History? well, it won.
-
Amazing but you'd think if it'd be $200 they would get it right!
-
Now this is cool, I like this. I was thinking the same thing Bill. I say real.

A what? Russian?
