heres a cool thought, DP1 in LFS, and a DP1 reproduction cockpit build off of actual specs.
wait a minute... OT
well, the sheet meal work wouldnt be too hard, and we could sneak it over a subaru impreza so that the 4wd and engine are already in place

Nextel Cup cars make about 800 BHP.
excellent point. the F1.07 is nto fundamentally a different car than the f1.06. It's simply updated.
The f1.05 however was designed to comply with a different set of rules. and is thus a fundamentally different beast.
Want me to write a letter to 600Racing to see if they are as keen as DP cars is?
It would tickle me crazy to see the FXO GTR get built. Not that it wouldn be a great car but the notion itself is sort of paradoxical.
When was the last time a car was in a game then became a real car? I don't beleive it's ever happened that way.

its off topic as all hell, but you cant edit anything other than the demo cars with tweak V
if you figure out how though...

genious really, wings under the bodywork would be (one would think) far less affected by dirty air.
If he's this smart we should ahve him figure out how to balance the gtr class j/k
ORION, too bad we cant do it in tweakV yet, no weight variable, no gear count variable, and no downforce adjustments
if i didnt need to pay a deposit on my next apartment i would just buy you a liscence out of pocket
that puts some issues to rest, and raises a question ive had.
In the production model, for the LMP1 class, will it have the same sort of wing arrangement as the other cars in the class or will you still rely solely on the undertray? Cars in that class have wings for a reason, though i would LOVE to see one without competing mid or even forward grid.
Even more exciting though (for some of us in the sim racing world) is the prospect of having a prototype class car for endurance races. True Multi-class racing is what made the Kyoto 24 hour in april of 2006 so exciting for me, sharing the track with both faster and slower cars and teams. (Yes, even though my FXO GTR was totalled several times, hooray for 4wd and limping back to the pits).

PS Hey Dennis, I'm about thiiiiiis close to declaring you an honorary ZWR member j/k

thats one sylable
yes they have, and yes they are willing to provide all support neccisary.
Dennis seemed pretty excited about the idea of his car in a sim. I'd feel really bad for him if someone made an rFactor mod for it and butchered it horribly

If it hadnt been 5 years since i had touched a CAD program i might have been able to, but it doesnt matter, i cant even get my concept sketches to come out right.
I remember in my 3dmodelling class, we figured that "if you could model a teapot, you could model anything". I think that mostly stemps from the fact that a teapot has always been the benchmark model for 3d engines though (always the exact same mesh too!)
Nope, still entirely thier decision.
We've just decided to take a pro-active approach, rather than like the "cars we wanna see..." thread where people sit about and moan about wanting the same cars over and over again. I contacted both the manufacturer and the devs, put them in contact with each other, and we started a thread to show that such a car is wanted by the community (not bemoaned like the 50 different requests for a nissan silvia in all its various states of trim)

Give it a go, the worst they can say is 'NO". The Raptor might be a good car to have, and when youve got permission from the manufacturer, start a thread like this one to raise community support
Liscencing laws are different over in japan, and animation is treated as a legitimate artistic medium.
So it's viewed the same way as writing a book and noting that the main character drivers a celica.
thanks mate
If I find anything else needed for reproductions I will let you know.
edit: found another one, number of gears

depends on what kind of CAD. If It's solid model based the program could spit out a mesh for you on the spot that would be 100% accurate
On top of that the physics tweaking could be pretty spot on, Dennis is willing to provide all the data the devs need

need weight to reproduce other cars, sorry to complain but thats kind of neccisary
blah, the Atom would have been just abouther LRF class car. A very nice one but still another LRF.
This one is a sports prototype, a type of car not currently present in LFS

corrected, pasted same email twice
I have no idea why i am still awake.... but i got a couple emails.....
and then about an hour later when it clicked whch car i was talking about....
PS, thanks for starting the thread Joen.

Reason : pasted same email twice
Passed the DP1 email along to the devs via the LFSTech email form on the main web page.
Those that hope for this car, i need a little help. Could someone with a less tired and less cluttered mind please create a new thread specifically for the DP1? its about 6 in the morning and i am absolutely fried from a long night at work

To be honest, I think we should start the DP1 request as a separate thread to gain greater Developer attention.
It's different from the current thread in that the creator fo the vehicle is very interested in seeing it in our community's sim.
