[WIP] Grand Prix racing 1937

Yes the motion is good, leaning against the turns and with a very natural and realistic attitude, they are however by now too much shaking with the small movements. That is something they will sure filter for the final version. Though I suspect the video shows the AI racing and not a human, and maybe that's why it slides little as Steve pointed out.

maybe , they must take nivaquine ?

A video teaser Lukas made, showing the amazing sounds and a bit of the gameplay at Nordscheleif:

Still looks like the car has massive downforce

You think so ? Looks extermly slow in turns to me.

It does look too fast in corners to me as well, and the brakes seem way too powerful. Anyway, looking forward

I definitely agree on the brakes, but cornering speed looks ok to me. Anyway, can't wait to try it !

Do they plan to create the 1937 tracks as well ?

Hi guys,
you are too quick with jumping on conclusions from a video

I assure you the car generates zero downforce, it does realistic lap times and brakes are very weak. Its just I am used to them after those months so I learnt how to brake with the car. In fact engine braking is probably stronger than those brakes.

Oh and it does slide around a lot, but you actually don't want to do that since it will fry the tyres in few minutes

We won't do any tracks from the era or we would release in 2016.

Hi, this feedback sounds very realistic and exciting indeed

Is there a realease date already?

BTW, could you please edit your profile with your real full name, it is compulsory on our forum, thanks

Ah ok, I was wondering why all those nicks sound not-so-nick like

Release date is in June with 90% chance.

Nice, that's very soon

Too bad about the tracks, racing those cars even on tracks from the 70s will be highly innaccurate

edit : in fact there's only the Livorno track missing to recreate a 1937 European championship (which included Spa, Monaco, Bremgarten, Nurburgring and Livorno).

Are you thinking more about the pavement or the layout?

hummm what about the Targa-Fiorio... would it be innacurate? I mean, maybe just change some car objects... just wondering...

It's a shame there aren't 30 tracks I know, it is quite logical though, until now there were no prewar cars so why build a track from that era. There are tons of 60s tracks though, when safety was still non existent, on those tracks its still fun to drive.

Targa Florio isn't a good track for these cars anyway, you would only use 1st and 2nd gear with grand prix cars, it was for smaller sportscars.

No I thought the tracks used in the 1937 championship just didn't exist for rF, but in fact only one track is missing as the championship was only 5 races. But a huge amount of tracks raced in the non-championship races doesn't exist.

A scratch version of Bremgarten is on the make and will propably see the light soon, take a look:

Can't wait for Bremgarten, saw every pic there is, looks amazing. That will be one of the best tracks for this mod, thats sure

Ben says the shaking is fixed, waiting till he sends me the files so I can see myself, good news.

It was one of my favourite tracks on GPL . Such a great flow !
