was cleaning the dust off them last night and thought you guys might like to see.

yup, my kind of race series

I know a few people that would definetly love this This is great work, I always wanted to do the GT1, love the styling. Of course you can't forget the back flipper! Love that too, the decals are still intimidating for me.

A great class that died off

Although the backflipper was a different car.

But that was when LeMans the series and ALMS was good. GT1 GT2 GT3 GTR

Oh yes definetly. All those series were awsome!

Very nicely done Porsche,Mercedes and Toyota.

The ALMS wasn't the series you're thinking of. You're thinking of the FIA GT Series that used to run in the U. S. It's still running over in Europe. As for the cars flipping over, there's actually quite a few. The Mercedes at LeMans (2 cars flipping; one in practice and one in the race), the Porsche 911 GT1 EVO at the Petit, the BMW LMR, Audi R10 Sebring test session, and there's quite a few more. This is the major problems with these cars in that they are all flat bottomed. They need to start going back to ground effects. Much safer racing.

Actually it wasn't an EVO either. The Petit car that flipped was a Porsche GT1/98 which had strikingly different body work than the EVO.

There was a long list of cars that did flip and it was partially FIA to blame for the rules... in their infinate wisdom they thought by banning the under car ground effects would slow them down.

While they are better and don't take off on there own so much, if they get out of shape they still like to fly. There were several cars that did fly this past year.

Nothing like the Mercs though, which the long frontal overhang was attributed to there three flights at the 99 LeMans. IIRC it happened to Mark Webber twice.
