Small Readme:

"Start off with the standard 1.6 NA. This car is relatively underpowered, 122bhp, so is hard to slide in the dry, just like the real thing it's fairly well planted.

Next try the MK1.6 V6. This has a lot more power as it has the Lotus Evora engine conversion. It's my personal favourite as the torque comes in very low down. It's not the fastest but its easy to break traction and slide. And it sounds awesome!

Then try the Turbo. This is the fastest and scariest. If you're brave, put the boost up to 10! It is a very hard car to drive.

The handling is pretty much the same on all cars. You can stiffen the rear ARB on the more powerful cars if you're having trouble putting the power down. Also the brakes can be quite tricky, especially on the faster cars. Try adjusting the bias and pressure if you're locking up and spinning. Try not to downshift too fast as you would in an F1 car as this will lock the rear wheels and you will spin. Bring the speed down first on the brakes, then downshift.

Install this on a fresh install of rFactor. Set your steering wheel settings to 360deg in your logitech controller profiler and also in your controller.ini. And for gods sake use the realfeel FFB in the upgrades, its what this mod is designed for!!! Some people who have tried it have said the steering is much too responsive. I don't know what's going on with that as it seems to work fine on a fresh install. I need to find out if it's a mod, plugin, or steering wheel issue.

Enjoy!

That is awesome, i'll be on that all weekend now, great work, i especially like the Woodsport Mk1 V6.

[dylbie]

Thanks Paul, the V6 and Turbo cars are quite tricky to drive in game!

I've got a server set up running Snetterton 200 so it would be great if you could come on and do a few laps and give some feedback sometime.

I know for a fact that the 2GR-FE gearbox has the wrong ratios, so could use some help there.

[PW@Woodsport]

You should download a track called "Hope" for the server so far it's the best one i've found.

I will be on this weekend for definite, is the server password protected?

[PW@Woodsport]

I'm afraid i cannot get that download to install, tried a manual install sticking the separate folders in their places as well as unzipping straight to Rfactor main folder, getting all sorts of MAF errors?

Here is a v0.91 Patch I've been working on. Just extract the GameData file and then drop it in your rFactor folder and overwrite the bits from v0.9 when prompted.

Patch includes:
A complete overhaul of the V6 and Turbo physics which now make the car a lot more controllable, and stable.
I've addressed the rear end stability issue on the standard and race cars with a fairly simple fix.
Minor HDV adjustments.
Added more skins to the race series.

This all needs testing out though as I've just got back from Greece, and I'm starting a new job on Wednesday so I'm a bit pushed for time!

Also, here is a link for live timing of the server. So if you want to view your laptimes or see if there is anyone to race against you can check here:

Cheers all

Dylbie and i had a good session on this new version yesterday and it is much improved, we could do with more of you guys having a go and giving your feedback on the handling, i can see a virtual race series forming from this mod, it really is superb.

[GreddyMR2]

I'm a fan of rfactor too though I would like to join with SW20 If you accept only MK1, ok , I will have to learn to drive it

[PW@Woodsport]

We are still learning to drive it ourselves so have a go and see what you think.

[GreddyMR2]

I will try it out today
Is there some quick contact possibility as skype or something in case I have problems connecting?

[Superfly]

So where is the download? Because the link is for 'The Stanton Warriors' whoever they are.

[dylbie]

Both links are in the first post. Download the v0.9 first, then download the v0.91 patch and drop the files in and overwrite.

I do have Skype if anyone is having any issues, so drop me a line on that [email protected]

[GreddyMR2]

I will join a server after 10min. Anyone else?

EDIT: can't find a track to download...

[dylbie]

Snetterton 200 download: http://www.mediafire.com/?rlj9fd8abmximnz

Look for the server called F1SR MR2 AW11

[GreddyMR2]

All working.

OK, so my thoughts.

Firstly, I tried a turbo version. Boost kick is terrible... It's so difficult to drive it. Anyway, I managed fastest lap with it, I guess it's normal as it's really poweful. Next thing, I felt a difference in tyres. Both turbo and race version have A048 tyres, but they are so slippery on a turbo.

V6 model has a great handling and it's a pleasure to drive it. I think it's perfect.

Race model is pretty easy to drive as well. Tyres hold very well.

All in all, great mod, just would do some modifications to turbo. I don't like that boost kick. I guess it has aftermarket turbo
