Quote from PMD9409 :

Well it wouldn't be 650 due to the FO8's inability to add weight. Since it would probably be a bad idea to add extra power to a light SS, we'd just match the p2w ratio with that of an IndyCar. Therefore you'd have the FO8 at about roughly 590-600hp.

Only a few things in LFS can be recreated perfectly, somethings you have to build to fit into LFS' boundaries. Also I'm sure track selection would be based on the car if its used, so something like FernBay isn't around to throw you for a loop.

... but you can manually add those missing 120kg ingame right?

That was my first thought. Maybe he means it handles like shit when you add weight?

He might. Unfortunately they don't teach Hillybilly in European schools so I can't tell for certain.

I do know Phil lives in Florida ftr.

This. Ballast is static weight in the car. Having 10-20kg of static weight is fine, 120kg of static weight creates an inertia problem within LFS aka bad handling. The weight added currently is to the middle/rear of the car by the new engine, which might create problems but testing will only tell. Also, the car would only need 70kg of ballast, not 120.

Look where I live on the map, and look where Deko lives on the map. Two different places.

It wont be harder to control, just may require more delicacy. :L I think the IC8 is a good idea and that we should do it.

I mirror oscar's sentiment IC8 would add something new and interesting to the table tbh. I say do it.

Or at the very least test it out. Open up the tweak and test it out. Then do a test race. If I can keep it on track then there's no reason why anybody else cant

V12 engine or gtfo.

Find me a real life counterpart and I'll make a car just for you.

maybe incase someone is interested in this information: LFSCART 2011 will see all venues included in some form, exept Autocross.

I hope one of the new venues will be Rockingham

Well, the funny thing about that is... We need the track.

We wish. We wait. We disappoint.


Okay, hopefully yes.
