rF2 Ferrari F2004 & Williams FW26 @ Bahrain - Mon 16th May 2022

[Jimlaad43]

We head back to the early-2000s days of Grooved tyres, screaming V10's a refuelling for our next race! The two fastest cars of the era were the Ferrari F2004 and Williams FW26, driven by Michael Schumacher & Rubens Barrichello, and Juan Pablo Montoya & Ralf Schumacher respectively. We will guide these two monsters of racing around one of the two new circuits added to the calendar that year - Sakhir! A desert track that nowadays consistently produces some of the ebst on-track racing and passing, it's time to recreate that magic with some of the fastest F1 cars ever. Ferrari or Williams? Pick your steed!

That ones would need some testing, and then some. Apparently all the different parts you can add/remove have different physics!
I really like the mods where you can "build" your own car, but it would need a lot of testing to see if is a lot of difference or not between the configs.

Yup. I mean, the 70's style mod is epic, so I assume this is just as epic! It would just need testing as it's extremely unpractical to actually lock/force upgrades on an online server in rF2 sadly.

But, this is probably something for @Jimlaad43 and @Denis Betty (as it is historic) to figure out (see how I smoothly just put the responsibility over to the others? ehe)

 

[ThreeLionz]

I liked what you did there mate

 

[Stammeleer]

[Jimlaad43]

I finally updated the entry list.

Has anyone else found that they spin out when downshifting too fast? I'm starting to wonder if this mod was a good choice. We'll see how tonight goes and if anyone finds a solution, or maybe I should stop being such an idiot with smashing down the gears
