Third installment from Tours 1923 and the final car, along with the Bugatti and the Voisin, that managed to finish the race.
The hardest model to make so far because there's so little info available. I had to base most of the cockpit on the 1922 car because that's all I could find good hi-res pictures of, although I did manage to get a screenshot from a YouTube video of Tours 1923 that showed the steering wheel was very close to one in my pictures so that is fairly accurate at least.
Same story with the physics, there's a website called Grand Prix Sunbeams which has a lot of technical detail on the 1922 and 1924 cars but almost nothing on the 23, which is a bit
From what I can make out there was a lot of evolution of the 22 car into the 23 car and then onto the 24 car so I've tried to use what's available to guess-timate things as well as trying to fit that in with what I could find out about the 23 car.
Sound is mostly from a couple of YouTube videos that were of a Sunbeam, just not necessarily this Sunbeam
Little vid of the car in action, what you can't see in this is how much fun I was having because despite the difficulty of getting something historically accurate it's still bloody good fun to drive.
Anyway, have fun, hope you're all hanging in there in these difficult times, don't forget to wash your hands, happy racing.
