Jidé 1600 S 1.1.1

A cutie

Bravo!

Wonderful, car mod of the year! Looks great, but it’s the driving is where it really excels! Just a joy to drive, beautifully balanced , great steering feel and weight.

Joyous car. Pretty much perfect.

Looks good, drives good. I love it

The best car I never heard of. Well made in every aspect, a joy to drive. Light and nimble, with that distinct vintage feel. And the sound.. My new favourite to hotlap around Targa Floria.

This is a masterpiece

I don't usually leave reviews, but this car is just a blast to drive! It's a quick little car that handles beautifully. It's not sticky like modern racecars, but it's power to weight ratio and weight balance make for a car that you can easily throw into a slide in an extremely predictable manner. Well done, guys.

magnifique ! quel plaisir cette auto !

Gorgeous! Wonderful to drive! and so obscure even I had to look it up and find out what it was, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, and if you'll allow me some selfishness: More French, More Rare, More Excellence!

Thank you for this old and rare French model !
Beautiful 3D-Good physic-Great sound.
At the time, in France, it made us dream ( like A110-Marcadier-CG.. )
today, we can drive it in AC !
thanks for your excellent creation

Awesome car to drive, easy to skin alot of option all arround excelent mod. Thanks mate

This is a really well done mod, another cool thing about AC is mods like this allow us to learn something new about racing history. This mod has very good FF and road feel and is a great addition to the SIM. Thanks a million times.

In a wave of terrible Forza and Gran Turismo ports you bless us with this little fella, Absolutely fantastic to throw around any classic track variants.

Can't wait for what else you will eventually bless us with!

Thank you dude ! I'm french, so i know this little jewel. I saw it on hillclimb events.. Keep up the good work !

Wonderful little machine!

Sidenote: The template you left inside the texture folder is for a 205 GTi, you might wanna fix that :P

This car ticks all the boxes: fun to drive, graphically impeccable, incredible handling, great sound, good ffb, rearview mirrors that offer a perfect image, care for the small details that add realism, such as a functional odometer, windshield wipers that wobble with speed, etc, etc...

Thanks (again) for share that little wonder fun car.

amazing!!! thanks for sharing!

A fantastically fun little car- thanks for your creation!

Fabulous work, thank you so much! The look and feel of this car are fantastic, and I can tell that you invested a lot of time into perfecting the final touches to get even the little details right. I have a deep appreciation for mods like this, and your work on this car encapsulates the essence of what Simracing modding is all about for me. It's a passionate ode to motorsports, where an obscure car is rescued from the threat of becoming a footnote of racing history, and brought to life in the Sim with a desire for perfection.

This car is a highlight of the 2024 mod releases for AC in my eyes!

As of the initial release I'm reviewing, one area I'd suggest looking into once more would be the aerodynamic drag. Although this bodywork can rightfully be expected to have a fairly high drag coefficient (to multiply against the small frontal area), I am surprised that the wind already overwhelms the 160 hp race-spec engine at just under 215 km/h fully-fueled. Comparison to two similarly powerful cars:
- 1967 Porsche 911 S (2.0 @ 160 hp): +390 kg heavier, rated at 225 km/h
- 1992 Honda CRX del sol VTi (1.6 @ 160 hp): +400 kg heavier, rated at 215 km/h (FYI: this Honda has a poor drag coefficient Cd=0.35; frontal area is A=1.72sqm)

p.s. Thank you also for introducing me to Jidé. Though I've been a lifelong petrolhead with a strong passion to research and learn about obscure historic sportscars, I had never heard about this one. This has put a smile on my face, and it will continue to do so.
