Why is an unfree image used for this header? --Cadby ^(talk) 01:19, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. Some (free) suggestions:

Audi R8
Audi R8 ADT
Audi R10
Dallara SP1
Lola EX257 LMP1
Maserati MC12 GT1

Maserati MC12 GT1
Peugeot 908

We should choose an image. In the mean time I have changed it to the Maserati MC12 image. Personally I would prefer either the Maserati MC12 and the Audi R10. Just add any other suggestions to the gallery. James086^{Talk | Email} 08:18, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I also changed the images on Template:User WP:SCR and at WP:MOTOR to free alternatives. Again, they can be changed, it's just important not to use a non-free image anywhere but the article-space. James086^{Talk | Email} 08:36, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If I can Photoshop out the background of Image:Lowenbrau962.JPG, I think it may be a good picture to use since it's one of the most recognizable sports cars, it's a free image that I personally took and released (all the ones in that gallery I believe are Flickr photos), and with the background removed it'll be easy to see.

How about this? Shows 3 classes of cars all right together. --Spyder_Monkey (Talk) 08:24, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually both of those images are far better than the image of the Maserati MC12. James086^{Talk | Email} 08:50, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A reminder that this logo will also have to be used on Template:User WP:SCR, so it will have to shrink well yet remain visible enough to be understood. The359 16:25, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Both seem to work well enough. --Spyder_Monkey (Talk) 20:42, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to get some more input on this so we can make a decision about what picture to put up, if possible. The359 16:14, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I vote the Porsche 962: Richard n 16:03, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I too vote for the Porsche 962 image. —Mr Grim Reaper (talk • contribs • email), 21:10, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken the liberty of finally changing the image on the banner to the 962. The other suggested image, although it does show three classes of cars at the same time, I think is difficult to read since the three cars overlap one another. If no one objects to this change, then hopefully we can consider the matter solved. The359 06:58, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think it looks good. James086^{Talk | Email} 13:29, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
