Welcome to the RD Racing Club.

ABARTH 124 SPIDER ADDED TO THE RWD CLASS.
Download it here: https://www.****************/car/abarth-124-spider
Use
assettoworld dot com where the asterisks are.

Then use CM (Content/cars/Abarth 124) to add the slick tyres of the Mazda MX5 Cup. It should look like this:

After a really great city track in Prague, it's time to return to a racetrack.

Hidden Valley Raceway near Darwin, Australia is known for its high speeds and fast lap times. It is 2.870m long and has 14 corners, with a main straight 1.1 km in length. In order to win, the race car has to flow well through the sweeping bends and also needs top end horse power for the main straight. So very suitable for another battle between our three cars!

I can assure you not by me, struggling here, that rotter Allan’s time is beyond me. The Abarth was okay here, got some reasonable times, but keeping it on the track was a big headache. Suzuki was better, but still a smaller problem.
Tried the Mazda, less said about that the better, it just reinforced my admiration for Allan time.
:):(
 
Guys I've added the Abarth 124 Spider in the RWD class. I want to try it in our races to see if it can be our 4th car.

Please read the 1st post to see what you have to do.
 
It works, the Spider seems to have more power than the mx5, and it ‘lacks’ some setup options compared to mx5. Long travel suspension, but it helps not getting killed by some kerbs here. Fun car actually.

It has a turbo engine so it has better acceleration and slightly higher top speed than the MX5 but is significally slower in the corners.
