Re: Motorsport Folder Competition Non-poll
These are my choices :
1. Alcohol/Tobacco 2. 1970s 3. Champions So no matter how this turns out, if it's gonna be 1 of these 3 I can always enter my 1978 JPS Lotus... |

Re: Motorsport Folder Competition Non-poll
We have a very clear leader so far, namely Smoking and Drinking.
To answer a few questions. Yes, F1 will include all open wheel, single seater racecars/dragcars. It is just quicker and cooler to write "F1", although the need for this reply negates that - doh! Champions is anything that won anything, single race or completed championship. A model of Tommi Makinen's 1998 RAC rally Evo V on three wheels would be eligible, because even though he crashed out, he still won the title that year. However, if you want to build a 2005 Subaru Impreza it would have to be an event like Mexico that Solberg actually won. Production based could be anything, MPWR suggested retaining the factory glasswork, but I like my stock block Brabham BMW F1 turbo. As promised I'll let this run to the weekend, so more people can have their say if they wish. |

Re: Motorsport Folder Competition Non-poll
Everybody has had the opportunity to have their say and it's time to close this sucker. It will will be no surprise to discover that Alcohol and Tobacco is the winner for our theme next year. Just for the record the (valid) votes ended up like this:
Alcohol and Tobacco - 31 1970's - 26 Formula One - 21 Champions - 20 Same Car - 19 Production - 13 Phantom - 7 So thanks to Sasa who first voiced the idea and now we can all start planning our builds. Given that 1970s and F1 were next in the poll they will be the frontrunners for subsequent comps. If you are forward thinking then the perfect model to start building now would be a race winning, 1970's Formula One car, sponsored by a cigarette company! Should allow about three years build time with a safe bet it'll be covered by a theme whenever finished. |

Re: Motorsport Folder Competition Non-poll
No shortage of finding a suitable model though… Nearly every company that sells alcohol or cigarettes are keen to push their wares using fast moving vehicles, and the wealth of aftermarket decals, and even kits sold with alcohol sponsorship is huge..
So, should see a few entries this time around.. |

Re: Motorsport Folder Competition Non-poll
OK, my barely started 80-s contest model is eligeble for this one as well, so I guess that means I get another year to finish it!

Re: Motorsport Folder Competition Non-poll
Do we build under the influence of alcohol? Or do we build a model influenced by alcohol companies and sponsors?

Re: Motorsport Folder Competition Non-poll
Just one question, I assume this means that the MAIN sponsor must be alcohol or tobacco related right?
