Porsche GT3 RS

Porsche GT3 RS - Lava Orange

When I was a kid, the first “sim” game that I played that really captured my attention was the original Gran Turismo game on Sony Playstation. I had played tons of racing games prior to that, but Gran Turismo was the first to really replicate real cars. At that point in time, my friends and I were big in the import and sport compact tuning culture. We were doing engine swaps and turbo kits on our Honda Civics and Mitsubishi Eclipses and so the concept of starting off with a tame street car and modifying it and advancing it through the races in Gran Turismo really appealed my friends and I.

iRacing doesn’t really have street cars or the tuning aspect that Gran Turismo did, just pure race cars, but if there is a car in the iRacing service that is close to its street car brethren, it is probably the Porsche GT3 Cup Car. I thought it would be cool to do a version of the Porsche GT3 Cup Car that looked like a Porsche GT3 RS. I developed some carbon fiber hood fenders and a ducted and vented hood, all done with shadows and some spec mapping to control reflections and make them look more authentic and then I painted them in some of the iconic Porsche GT3 RS colors.
