I couldn't allow the R390GT1 to have ZERO threads/posts, so I shall place photos here, starting with one of the VRH35L. There seems to be no attention for this LMP in this forum, probably because of the fact that it is dated and was quickly replaced by the R391. But I'm still proud of the fact that the final R390s had several high placements, as well as a podium finish at Le Mans. On the other hand, the R391s' performances were much less admirable. The 390 also retained coupe format much like the Toyota GT-ONE, while the successor went the open-top ways so many of the newer LMPs have been doing. The Audi R8, for example, reminds me of a skinned up open-wheel racer. But that's just my opinion.

You could like a cigarrette with those rotors!

Now this is what endurance racing is all about; ;) The filth:

I like using this car in GT2.

Personal preference, I know, but I like the 1997 red/black cars better. :)

Unfortunately, that's the only race pic I could find, but I did find these qualifying pics. I never knew they'd cover up and "mask" the cars before the race. In any case, they show how bad-ass the car is in black. :D You want one.

Those are really nice pics. I've never seen it in that color.:huh: Strange, very strange.:confused:

The red/black one was in GT2, too. You had to win it from the Grand Valley 300km enduro race. It was one of two cars to win, so good luck. ;)

That shot of the rotors is awesome !!!!

The red/black is the best looking one. :) :)

Actually, I was referring more to in real life. The one in GT2, I have. But that all black one is really sick!! I like it even more.

Yeah, the red/black paint scheme is really menacing, but in street form, I like the '98-'99 models because they have a revised rear end which uses a flared lip rear deck style, as opposed to the integrated second-level spoiler (like the ones in current Camaros and NSXs) of the '97s. Here's what I mean (shots from Igor's webtick site):

But both are still friggin' awesome:

Are there any good website for these R390 & R391?

Jon

damn..i just got the R390 gt1 road car for my friend's gt3
its only 391 hp though, and understeers alot

no matter, i still beat my friend's gt-one:D

Dude, I have that car an dI think it overstears alot. But then again I run with lots of downforce, MAX HP output and supersoft tires in all races where there is no tire wear.

GT2/3, right?

To reduce oversteer on a mid-engined car, simply increase rear downforce, reduce front downforce, and add some rear toe-out. The toe-out will help the oversteer become a bit more predictable and countersteerable even with maximized power. Of course, this isn't going to do anything when applying full throttle mid-turn in a hairpin. You still need to be cautious and gradually apply power.

O yeah, I know how to fix it. And careful throttle control is a must. I race gas powered RC cars since I'm only 13. The same princepals apply to them and as you may or may not know the engines in the RCs I race are always in the back. And th eversteer is predictable and I find it useful sometimes. I can control it VERY easily. I was just commenting on it but I don't have any problems. I can keep it from oversteering easily but thanks for the tips anyway. And yes I do have GT3.

Ok.

I saw Le Mans 98' race and saw the R390's doing some laps, they sound well ok - but thats not the kick in the pants, I never got one picture of the R390, but I like the road car version, both 97' and 98', and I like blue better.

A beautiful shot of a beautiful machine:

1997 homologation special R390. A million bucks well spent.

Amen to that!!!!!!!!!!

I guess I can't go to the Nissan Dealership and get one of these cars

Can you get the black and red R390 in GT3?
