Your dream car to drive in Sim

Get modelling one then Michal  

Shapes aren't to difficult. Getting the 'special effects to work' might be the challenge

Then again..anyone who's ever driven the 37LGP mod knows that the Auto Union Type C has some exhaust effects as well, if I'm not wrong.. so it might be done to an S76 as well, just.. BIGGER

And the 1981 F1

Ferrari 156 "sharknose"

some inspiration

main issue is the tracks, only 1 platform represent these tracks with today graphics

grand prix legends!

I'm going to install this gem this weekend with all tweaks and updates and i rather go back to it then forward to AMS or any new sim!

best 2 platform for historical 30-60s is gpl and rfactor nothing else can match running these with GOOD physics!
but gpl have them in the most accurate fashion , even today it is is realy incredible to see this 20y old sim with graphics that looks and match almost like vlm rfactor tracks!
and the cars looks incredible , specialy the cockpits, for example canam 71 , they look so much better then the rfactor version running here.

My dream car...

The 787B has been done a few times, but I never tried the AC one, the rF2 mod seems to have rather average sound files.

But as an interested Mazda follower(I like them for some reason), maybe some other cars that have barely seen any action in sims:

Mazda RX-7 Group Touring Car(won Spa 24 Hours 1981)
Mazda RX-7 IMSA GTU(1979 Daytona 24 Hours class winner, 5th place overall)
Mazda MX-6(Initial GTO car)
Mazda RX-7 IMSA GTO(Beast of a machine, 4 rotor)
Mazda RX-792P(IMSA GTP)
Mazda RX-7 Super GT GT500
Mazda RX-7 Group B Rally Car(it might not have been very successful, but it looks cool and sounds amazing)

Maybe also the Onyx ORE-1B run by Monteverdi(-Onyx) in the FSRM 1990 mod, but it's not that great I think. It needs the HSO treatmeant!

The Ford Escort Mk I Group 5(DRM) car would also be nice, there's a mod for AC, but not for rF2 though. Otherwise, the Lotus Europe DRM car built by Harald Ertl would also be nice.


I could also mention about any of the Chaparral cars here, especially the 2K, which I haven't seen yet anywhere...

There are some early RX-7 (definitely the GTU, not so sure about Gr.3/4 or Gr.A) derivates available for GTL, one Forza title features the '90s GTO-RX-7, and I remember a RX-792 in a prototypical state ingame for the F1C PrototypeC mod

But I wouldn't mind to see some late 80s GTO/GTU/TA cars, as well. So many stuff that's uncovered so far

GTL okay(although I haven't driven a lot of the old games), but I'd like to see them in more recent games.

Forza? No thanks I want them in a Sim!

Agree on seeing more of them, Raceroom has slightly gone that way.

I'm sure a 1988 Trans-Am season would make for some epic racing.

That Quattro was awesome. If I remember correctly, they had to keep hitting the car with weight penalties so it wouldn’t run off and leave the RWD competitors.

This reminds me of old italian AutoSprint F1 posters my father had, I remember Renaul RE20 Turbo, Ferarri from the same year, Williams (that Saudia logo).. I think I still have those somwhere in the attic!

Indeed. Same with the 90 GTO in IMSA the following year. Audi was really on it in the late 80's.

As they dominated the Super Touring class in the mid 90's with the A4 Quattro.

Which is something I never entirely understood as I thought the Super Touring regulations of 1993, at least initially, only allowed two-wheel driven cars?

Just a matter of lobbying long enough. If all that is left behind is scorched earth, move on and find the next championship you can bust...

Another "childhood" dream car..

scratch new 1989 HE and updated SRM 1990HE
Physics by Duke and mod quality standards of the f1sr 1992 v2.0

trackpack by HSO and FDsign


1989 season has so much close racing in the bag first year of the 3.5L era
provides 20 TEAMS!!
lots of Judds and cosworth gaggles!
Ferrari v12 vs v10 Honda with Williams and Benetton as outsiders
all the rest close following except for some shitboxes

gotdamn i keep dreaming for this day

im looking for a this ferrari in HGT / group C quality
for implement in the 1991he mod

cannot find it but maybe you guys know where i can find a 348 Ferrari for rfactor

The car is IIRC in the BPR mod for GTR2, so you should be able to convert it to rFactor.

I too would love to drive some old record-breaking cars, maybe some aero-engined ones too! I wondered about making one myself but I can't model for the life of me

1500HP Packard-Bentley anyone?

Or, maybe pre-war streamliners ...

I... need this in my life. I've always wanted to make a big V12 or a big V16 for a car

Make a Auto Union V16 in Automation and give it a proper vehicle model 

So many topics, eras and types not covered, yet...
