Grand Prix (Williams 1976) EM
A few months back, forum member aka "Shark's Mouth" found a real Grand Prix in the back of the building he was working at. He managed to take about 150 hi-resolution photos of the entire playfield, plastics and backglass (I mean just about every inch) - and he posted those photos on this site, hoping someday someone could use them to make a clean new VPX table from them.
I stitched them all together and embarked on a complete redraw of the playfield, plastics and backglass - that took a couple weeks on and off.
Loserman76 (being the EM guru that he is) built a brand new table using the new playfield as a guide - that looked and played great.
Because the playfield and plastics were a new redraw - no matter what lighting approach I took within VPX - the lighting always looked FLAT and not realistic.
Enter Bord ... Bord imported everything into Blender and "enhanced" all the lighting and rendered out a beautiful and ultra realistic output.
I am a big fan of 60s and 70s EM tables and I wanted to do it justice since we started with such great resources.
This final version is a example of great collaboration between all involved.
Included with this download is the new VPX version of Grand Prix, new Backglass, and new wheel image.
Also included is an mp3 file named: Grand Prix (Williams 1976) EM - F1 Race Ambience.mp3. This is a subtle sound effect track that you can load into your front end system (PinballX) that will play before the table is loaded.
At the top of the table script you can choose if you want the ball / flipper shadows ON or OFF. I suggest you turn them OFF if you a using a slower system.
Also built into the table is the JP Salas LUT selector. Hold down the LEFT MAGNASAVE and then press the RIGHT MAGNASAVE to cycle through the 9 different LUT brightnesses.
Hold down LEFT FLIPPER for 3 - 4 seconds BEFORE starting a game to access the build in Game Menu to change the game options.
- Enjoy.

Thanks. I like this EM!
Thank you so much what a great table! One question when I start the table I do get 4 scripts errors: Light001 Light002 Light003 and Light004 can not be rendered. I can play the table after these 4 messages but can this be fixed or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for your help and this lovely table!

WOW! Looks amazing!
Thanks for sharing this.

This is great. Thank you for bringing back the memories.
Hermosa mesa, muchas gracias a todos los que trabajaron en ella!
Couple of things need improvement here. The ball image is bad. A complete lack of it reflecting any of it's surroundings as it moves around the playfield makes it look like a piece of paper moving around... and the sound of the ball hitting the pop bumpers. That sound is brutal. It sounds like someone hitting them with a hammer. Other than that everything looks ok. This entire table could use a make over by JP. It would be great to see that since this table is one of the last great EM tables and a classic. Thanks for all your hard work creating this guys.
