The Roaring Season

Excuse the cheesy music, but there are shots of McQuen in the pits, then at around 5.33 the Porsche camera car goes down pit straight then about 7.19 it leaves the pits.

Yes Steve it is that car. Have a look at this website. [url]http://stuttcars.com/about-porsche/le-mans-film/[/url]

Thanks Sean. Is the Porsche 908 the same car Steve McQueen shared with Peter Revson to finish second at the 1970 Sebring 12 Hour race?

Back on point, some pics from the 1970 Le Mans with car number 29, a Porsche 908/2 which was the camera car that was used for most of the action shots. Driven by Herbert Linge and Jonathan Williams, it actually finished, unclassified in what would have been 9th. also a shot of a GT40 used for some other action shots.

Yes its pretty cool, i have been playing that for a while. For ease and being able to catch up with old race mates though, i have found Iracing the best and its easy to quickly make a paint scheme and share it with everyone.

This needs a separate thread guys! Far too good to be hidden!

GP Legends have updates for 1965, 1966, 1967, 1967 F2 & 1969 and Canam 1971- someone is working on a 1955 F1 mod as well. Also sets of Tasman series cars, 1964 - 68. And several sports cars
Tracks - how about the full Targa Florio track, with cars to suit! Also Ardmore, Levin, Wigram, Amaroo, Oran Park, Mt Panorama 1967........

Those are seriously cool Bondy! I'm amazed at what people have been able to do with that platform.

[quote="Steve Holmes"]Wow, that is cool! I bought GP Legends when it was first released, must have been back in the late 90s. It was incredible for the time, and each car had its very different characteristics, eg, the Brabham was sure-footed and reliable, but not as fast as some of the other cars. The Lotus was a bullet, but very skitterish. But looking at Bondys photo above, it looks like the graphics have been improved over the years too?[/quote]

The Graphics are pretty decent on IRacing, some guys have made GP Legends alot prettier than it used to be though. The Le Mans cars are available for GT Legends and as a mod for RFactor.

Steve i think you would like GT Legends, as you can add cars such as Monza's, Camaro's, other cool IMSA stuff ;) I'll try take a screen shot soon.. but to give you an idea

Speaking of GP Legends, the Lotus 49 in IRacing is alot of fun, i still play GP Legends, GT Legends etc

Awsome simulation...but as you say bloody hard to master. (I could never get under 1.30 at Monza...)
An updated Spa is being released soon.

The beta of rFactor 2 has the old Spa with 67' type cars too.

If you can get hold of a copy of the computer game 'Grand Prix Legends', you'll be able to drive it!!! Most difficult computer race game ever.

Check it out on Wikipedia as even though it is an old game, there are game developers who are still generating tracks and updating the cars.

For those not aware, it is a faithful recreation of the 1967 Grand Prix season, with realistic sounds and skittish car behaviour, plus, you can put it into demo mode and ride with Clark, Gurney etc. It even has the full 14 mile Nurburgring.

Listen to this for a great engine sound, the BRM H16. Turn up the volume.

Dialogue was not needed in these movies... just keep that flat 12 exhaust note coming :D
Love it.

This short film is a ripper -

Le Mans legend Derek Bell takes a step back in time to the 917 he first raced..
