The International Manufacturers Championship '67

IMC '67 · Jun 30, 2023

Busy times in the pits for the first round of stops during the 1967 Monza 1000 km race...

I recently got another photo book that I can recommend to anyone interested in 1960's and 1970's sportscar racing...

The title is quite misleading though as a vast majority of the photos on the 539 pages are from the 70's which was a bit disappointing to discover after getting the book. I would have thought that the photos would have been more equally distributed over the years stated in the title.

Yep and the multi language takes up more space/pages.
My automotive library is mostly single makes/cars and front engine F1 focus (1890's-1960).

These are some of my "GTR2 P&G" references in my bedroom now. ...yes duplicates happen, I sometimes forget I have ordered a book and the shipping takes some time (overseas), done this more then I'd like to admit. The period stuff gives the "bench racer views" I really enjoy those.

I enjoy buying used, I found some interesting things, mostly gift messages and dates on the inside covers and nifty personnel place holders -I use decks of cards. The best so far:

His signature and several collector cards!

Cool! I've been thinking of getting the two volumes of "Sports Car Racing in Camera 1960-69". Should guarantee pics from the 60's only!

IMC '67 · Jul 4, 2023

Volume 2 has a great photo of Jo Bonnier's Lola T70 at the 1969 Nürburgring 1000 km on the cover...

Most racing gamers appear to want close racing from start to finish no matter what type of autosport it is. I want realistic racing.

And too bad all my videos look like crap AFTER uploading to YouTube.

The track and all the objects look wonderful.

The game's pitstop sequence is starting to shape up nicely...

Lord Haw-Haw · Jul 9, 2023

That Spa Pitstop, those sounds at first reminded me of Le Mans ('71 film) then all the hammering it became a NASCAR pitstop at Bristol/Martinsville!
...those knock-offs
Nice IMC'67!

IMC '67 · Jul 9, 2023

Yeah, the added hammering sounds are simulating the mechanics correcting dented body parts (deeper hollow sounds) and bent suspension (brighter metallic sounds).

Wrong decade, but curious if you have any feedback on this title:

IMC '67 · Jul 12, 2023

Not familiar with it but found it a bit odd that the book description didn't include a mentioning of Ronnie Peterson while mentioning lots of other drivers.

Note how Ronnie perfectly placed the "o" in "Ronnie" on her shirt! Colin Chapman looks a bit embarrassed though, haha.

Ruttman98 · Jul 12, 2023

Thank you for your reply. Agree, big omission.

I am a big fan of your enthusiasm for vintage sportscar racing and work!

IMC '67 · Jul 12, 2023

I take for granted that he is in the book though.

Check out a young Ronnie in 1967 to match the year of the thread topic. Dig those girls!

Here's another track loading screen variant that appeared to be good in theory but didn't come out well and therefore won't be used.

IMC '67 · Jul 15, 2023

Yet another variant where the player have written down the event and date on a notebook paper after getting an offer over the phone to drive.

Maybe laying on the tray table of a window seat?

IMC '67 · Jul 16, 2023

Yeah, that would have been ideal but good luck finding a suitable interior pic of a 1960's passenger jet along with getting the race program angled right on the table. The two last posted variants above are older ideas and I'm quite happy with the most recent variant I posted on the previous page.
