CART 1997-1999 mod

Un teaser du mod CART Factor est sorti. La démo devrait être disponible demain
Esperons que ça sera plus réussi que les mods IDT

A teaser of the CART Factor mod has been released. A demo should be available tomorrow
Let's hope it'll be better than IDT mods

Let's hope it will be a good one. A CART championnship can be very attractive perhaps

Can't wait

Don't be too impatient JP 'cause I just took a look at the tracks of those seasons, and some of them are missing for rFactor, so you'll have to built them

I don't see what you mean

Fantastics news!!!

I love american races,and the CART is one of my prefers.Oriol Serviá a very good catalonian driver who hasn´t a chance in F1 (or sponsor),surely at the controls of a good car of F1 would do better than any driver of the current grid.

We said the same thing about Sebastien Bourdais. Well it seems that F1 is a strange world where one of the best driver we have cannot perform as good as he does in the USA (he was not so far his teamate than that but he was nonetheless sacked by his boss).
It's a shame he wasn't give a wheel in the french F1 team. Renault prefers to have a spanish and a (not so good) brazillian drivers

Better be the first in CART than nothing in the sh.... world of F1 I think

the development team :
Renato Simioni

He's the guy who did the GP 79 Mod physics

Please don't say that.... Piquet Jr. is very good, well in GP2 was the only one who threw a fight against Hamilton, I'm not saying Bourdais a not a good driver, he is, but F1 is a very misterious world where the best drivers can suddenly become bad ones

Perhaps but Bourdais did a far better season than Piquet Jr. It would have been normal for the french (well it has really nothing french for his base is in England, his teammanager is italain, his tyres are japanese and had none french pilots )team to give a second chance to our only representants in F1. But it seems Mr Briatore prefers french pilots in GT or elsewhere. Well it's the same guy who said that motoGP drivers were only kids just capable of playing in sandbox and that they must leave the men driving F1. It says a lot about the relevance of the thought of this guy

oups sorry i'm departing from the subject of the thread. I've try to reach racentral. It's seem to be down today

It's out

Download it here : ftp://91.121.135.76/rFactor/mods/CARTFactor_Prologue.rar

It's down the pipe now. Hope it will be a good mod has CART can be very challenging

I've try it a little at Laguna Seca. Well the cars are superb. There are powerfull but delicate to drive. It requires a soft driving as the engine has enough power to throw you in spin easily. Braking hardly is also no so easy. Spin arrives quickly if you do a mistake.

A priori it's appear to be a very good mod.

Two weaks points appear to me:
-the sound are very poor. We don't have the impression to drive a CART car. The engine lack a bit of power compared, for example, to the sound you can found in GPL
-we miss many teams. Where are the Penske, Chip Ganassy, Newman Haas or Green teams for example? It will perhaps be better to have one of those instead of the All American Racers which was one of the worse teams engaged in the season.
It's a bit disapointing since we see those teams in the teaser. Well let's hope they will follow very soon.

C'est une démo. Ils n'ont mis que les voitures qui étaient complètement prêtes. On trouvera ptet des skins des autres voitures en attendant

Well download it if you can. It's worth it I think. It's a promising one

About the sounds, you know they weren't using those singing V12 or H16 of the 60's you know from GPL. And compared to reality, the sounds of the mod are quite good imo.

I still think the sounds are a bit too high pitch. But it's just a matter of tastes I think. It doesn't take away the pleasure I have to drive those cars indeed.

This is a great mod indeed

Yeah I love it too Best CART / Champcar mod in my opinion. Every parts of the mod are great, physics, sounds, modelling. It's a real pleasure to drive around Elkhart Lake, Mid Ohio, Montreal or Long Beach Not too easy, not too hard, just challenging enough.

But even if I love it, I think I'm rather slow

Si ça peut en intéresser certains, la ligue THOR ( http://racingleague.co.cc/ ) organise des courses courtes (30min) sur ce mod tous les lundis soirs pendant l'été à partir de ce soir.
Ce soir c'est Denver, qualifs à 21h30, j'y serais pour voir

Maybe some of you will be interested, the THOR league ( http://racingleague.co.cc/ ) will run a summer series on this mod, 30min races every Mondays evenings.
Tonite, it's Denver, quali starts at 9.30PM GMT+2, i'll be there

Pendant que tout le monde s'étripe sur le mod endurance, mon ressenti de novice me fait adorer le mod Cart 97 99 ... Je trouve ce mod vraiment génial niveau sensations ... Un petit tour de piste sur un circuit comme mid ohio et j'ai vraiment l'impression d'y etre 8)
j'ai pas assez de temps pour m'inscrire dans un nouveau champ, mais j'espère que chez HSO on nous concocte un petit quelque chose ...et là je signe les yeux fermés

Moi aussi j'adore, surement un des meilleurs mods rFactor à mon avis

Le développement du mod continu, voila un screen du cockpit de la Lola :


Ils vont d'abord sortir la saison 1997, puis 98 et enfin 99. J'espère qu'ils corrigeront les 2 défauts que je trouve aux physiques : les voitures raclent énormément la piste à haute vitesse, et sur oval, les voitures créent trop de turbulences derrière elles, ce qui fait perdre beaucoup d'appuis à la voiture qui suit et rend les dépassements très difficiles.

Hélas pour l'instant un championnat sur ce mod n'est pas possible, car rFactor ne gère pas bien les yellow sur oval. Peut être un open, à voir Mais personnellement je suis assez sceptique, le mod est assez difficile et risque de rebuter pas mal de monde, même si perso je le trouve très gratifiant quand on arrive à bien maitriser la bête 8)

Magnifique ! L'immersion est vraiment totale dans ce cockpit ... même si je suis loin de maitriser la bête, je me régale a chaque fois que je l'essaye ..

Et puis globalement, l'ovale sur rFactor craint. C'est mon avis, et celui des développeurs du mod. Espérons que sur rFactor 2 ca soit différent.

On est pas obligé de faire ça sur ovale non plus . Des yellows sur Long Beach ou Detroit ok, mais sur Mid-Ohio c'est pas forcément indispensable. D'ailleurs jusqu'au début de 1990s (et l'arrivée des grosses chaînes TV en live) il fallait vraiment que ce soit le gros souk pour qu'il sortent les yellows sur routier en CART.
