Can't wait to drive this!

The 80's was an era of great racing, whether it be F1, Group B rally or circuit racing in general.

Audi changed the game with the quattro system and after great success in rallying they decided to tackle circuit racing as well.
Audi entered the american Trans Am series with their Audi 200 and DOMINATED!

Big thanks to iiiil for allowing me to use his stunning ADDA 5200 2.2T mod (https://www.lfs.net/files/vehmods/219BF3) as the base for my mod.

Below are some progress pics showing where it started and how it currently looks, hope you enjoy!

Thanks very much man, I appreciate the support!
Hahaha yes it does have a stack of power, I wanted it to be a weapon!
Considering the fact that a Pre Runner isn't a race car for a class, I decided to make something wild

Pre Runner style offroad vehicle

DESCRIPTION:

Quote :

The Fraud Big Boy has been a hit with the drift nuts, now its time to have a version of it that is a blast off road, thats what this is all about.

4 Wheel Drive
Big tyres
Big suspension travel
V8 goodness

A mean machine!

COVER SCREENSHOT:

Feels great, good job dude!! Brakes are a bit light on the default track setup and it understeers a bit in the fast turns but nothing a custom set with small tweaks doesn't fix!
Well done

Really nice mod you have here, I love the way it feels on wheel!!

One problem I have noticed, your gauges aren't set to swap sides with driving position

Hey man! Yes I will make one, possibly a restomod version of the Z28

Vehicle mod: MUSCLE-GTO
Details page: https://www.lfs.net/files/vehmods/E15001

SHORT DESCRIPTION:

Quote :

V8 RWD Beast from a famous American racing series

DESCRIPTION:

Quote :

Based on a vehicle that raced in a racing series that has been running for many years in the USA and has seen some amazing racing cars developed and raced in it.

The cars always look imposing with their low, wide stance thanks to big bulging fenders and big fat tyres.

This mod is a tribute to the mid to late 80's Chev Camaro's that raced in the GTO class.

5.7L V8
+- 650 Hp
Rear wheel drive
5 Speed gearbox
Basic aero, nothing wild

You'll have your hands full taming this beast while trying to nail that perfect lap around your favourite circuit!

COVER SCREENSHOT:

this is incredible, well done! I suck at drifting and I feel semi-decent in this car, its effortless

Post pics of your progress bud!

Nice mod, but please sort out your front suspension, the scrub is off and makes for a weird steering feel

this thing is a blast to drive bud, nice one!

Quote from tangovalens :

Good feelings with this one. Definitely a must in our garage!

Thank you very much man, glad you enjoy it

This is gorgeous!! Good job sir!

Vehicle mod: PLOVER P2200

SHORT DESCRIPTION:

Quote :

1960's British classic setup for circuit racing

DESCRIPTION:

Quote :

Not your average race car from the era but it certainly is worthy of a go!

2.2L 4 Cylinder Engine
5 Speed Manual
Racing Slicks
NO Aero
Fiberglass doors, bonnet, boot, & dash
Carbon Fiber door cards
Plexiglass windows

Not much of the old girl left physically but she still looks the part and goes like the clappers!!

Should prove fun

COVER SCREENSHOT:

As part of my ongoing desire to learn more and more about the software that I use for my day job, I decided to make something designed for off-roading and big jumps. This mod is inspired by sand rails, sand masters & dune buggies.

This is the CH3OH OFFROAD......or Methanol Offroad....because I like my name

Right now its running a small block V8, but might go through some different engines depending on how I feel.

Its a lot of fun taking this thing off of various jumps and should prove to be a hit with anyone wanting to blow off some steam and just thrash on something built for abuse!

Quote from Evolution_R :

Hey and thanks!
You gonna upload it in the setups tab? I can make it default.

Edit - I've updated the mod with Nyrak's default setup and aerodynamics (added front wing, undertray and rear wing objects).
It should be better now.

Cool, will try it and see! My setup was added to the "setups" tab as well

Hey man!! Just did some hot laps with the GTR version. For starters, great job looks wise, it is a very neat mod!! The default setups aren't great though, it wants to swap ends all the time. I have done a basic Westhill Int Hot Lap setup that I will upload for you and you can try/ use it if you want to.
Keep up the good work

Looking more and more aggressive

Time attack is a cool category of racing that is focused on wildly modified ex-road cars that have been built up to nail the fastest lap times. Its not a racing series in the sense that you are not racing against other cars in a race over a number of laps. The point is to nail the perfect hot lap and the winner is the one with the fastest hot lap overall in each class.

PopnLochNessMonster created a beast in the form of the "RB4 Time Attack Spec" which is an AWD car. This got me thinking about making a time attack car based on the FXO which is a FWD car. FWD racecars are always a challenge when the horsepower starts to go over around 350hp......so I decided to make one that's got 700+hp .

This is based on my first mod which is a FXO drag car but with crazy aero and with a bit less horsepower and the suspension reworked for circuit racing.

Specs:

Engine - Turbocharged 2.1L 4 Cylinder Inline
Power - 700+hp
Torque - 450+ft/lb
Weight - 823kg
Transmission - 5 speed sequential
PowerToWeight - 900+hp/ton

It is not possible to get it as fast as a RWD or AWD car but thats not the point, I want it to be the fastest FWD on LFS (based on realistic figures).

Handling is much better buddy, well done!

Quote from NENE87 :

You can set the car with negative rear toe angle like -0.2 or -0.3 don't touch front toe.reduce front tyres pressure.I have tested the car and i love R3 tyres, maybe the car is too grippy?Could you make editablethe skin? That's a good job!

Thanks man, I have played around with many setups on this car, I will upload my latest setup that I did my best lap time with. This is a Hillclimb car so it needs to be as grippy, I have tried to make sure that the aero and stuff is as realistic as I can, I don't want a car that has infinite grip because thats just fake but I think the current grip levels are accurate for a car built and setup like this in real life.

With regards to the skins, I hope to one day get it to that point but the 3D model that I used is quite an old model and the way it was made is quite different to most 3D models these days, the body is built out of lots of strips that are placed next to each other to form the body shape, so the triangles on the left and right are not identical. It was also one of my early mods and I have learnt quite a bit since then

Pleasure buddy, just drove it, MUCH better!!!
