OT: Wicked screenshots for hoffman912
#31
Since when does live for speed have any Porsches available for download? Are they actually Porsches, or just the regular cars with a different skin?
BTW, the game is Rally Trophy.
I was just surfing around when I found those screenshots and I thought: damn - now I'm gonna have to re-install the game!!!!

Rich.. fyi.. the car in that game isnt a just a T.. its an actual real life rallye car.. (that would woop the **** out of an L.. its called a 1968 911 T/R or T-Rallye)
911 T Rallye - a brief background
This model was the first true customer "Homologation Special" that Porsche offered (homologated in Group 3, but subsequently Group 4 from 1970), being a 911T (because at 925kg it was lighter than all other models) yet fitted with 911S mechanics and offered with various Sport options such as competition Recaro seats, close ratios, LSD, long-range fuel tank (100 litres) and a Rallye kit on the engine (15 bhp upgrade achieved through larger carburettor venturis, open inlet trumpets and twin outlet exhaust) etc,. Therefore, the model could be viewed as a "911S Lightweight"
T Rallyes are hence the forerunners of such sought after models as the 2.7 RS Lightweight and the first of what was to become a long line of Factory Limited Edition lightweight 'Homologation Specials', culminating in the GT2 and GT3 of today. Hence the T Rallye holds a unique place in 911 history
oh and this one was for sale recently

That's cool Harry.
The 911 that I found for Rally Trophy actually has 180hp - so it's a little more competitive with the original cars in the game. Only problem is the original cars in the game are too light - the designers didn't make them heavy enough, so the 911 is a bit slower because of it's realistic physics.

and of course.. here is my wanna be t rallye in progress.. well its not a t/r wanna be... its a 912 rallye car wanna be..
yes! that is right the 912 was a rallye car. in 1967 Sobieslaw Zasada won the 1967 world rallye chamionship in his 912. (the year vic elford kicked everyones *** in the 911 at monte carlo.. putting the 911 on the map forever as a truely great racing car...)
here is the only pic i can find of the 912 wrc
Sobieslaw Zasada's racing accomplishments include European Rally Champion of the GP touring cars in 1966, in 1967 with his 912, and victory driving his Porsche 911 in the 2055-mile stage race across Argentina. He first raced motorcycles, and in 1951 he entered four-wheel racing. After solid racing performances, he received support from the Polish automobile club in Warsaw. At the time of his successes racing his 912, he was 37 years old and owned a four-person auto repair shop in Krakow.
By the late 1990s, Zasada was one of the most successful businessmen in Poland. In 1996 Reuters reported that his Polish automotive group Sobieslaw Zasada Centrum SA launched the construction of Mercedes' Vito mini-vans. The launch marked the first production licensee that Mercedes-Benz had granted in eastern Europe. By that time Zasada controlled two utility car factories and several automotive parts plants.
