Motorsport Folder Competition Non-poll - CLOSED

[Sennake]

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...

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.

I like all of the choices, but these are my top 3 favs that I'd definately build for.

1 - Champions
2 - 1970's
3 - Alcohol/Tobacco

[holy_shot!!!]

1 production
2 rally

[Raceman]

1. 1970´s
2. Champions
3. Same car
looking forward to this one.

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.

Now the difficult task, what to build? So many choices, Martini or Marlboro? my favorit choices
Thanks Phil, now I will feel extremly guilty if I don't finish it in time .

[mickbench]

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..

[ales]

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!

[freakray]

I'll be at my modeling bench

[mike@af]

Do we build under the influence of alcohol? Or do we build a model influenced by alcohol companies and sponsors?

[Technoman]

Yee haa, a decision. Excellente.. I will participate this time..

[Technoman]

Just one question, I assume this means that the MAIN sponsor must be alcohol or tobacco related right?

[Mr. Me.]

oh. i am late
