I was not planning to release any info about our team new project yet, but with our RSR F3 mod used as article image, I couldn't resist
.
First of all, thanks to Paul for the nice surprise, and the very nice idea. It's great to see so much talent in a thread like this. Thanks to all of you for the great dedication, and passion, and allowing us to enjoy our favourite sims even more!
Let's get back to RSR now
Few weeks ago the new season of the Formula 3 has started, with an important evolution of the old car (the one we've previously modelled). We've watched the first races, got very excited, and, just for fun I've started cracking some numbers. The first "test mule" as fun to drive, we saw potential, so we kept working on it and little by little the new beast is taking shape.
In those years I've collected tons of technical information of those cars. I just needed a good excuse to glue them together. This is a huge step from the previous car (it should be since it'10 year newer than the F307).
New engine, much more powerful, new suspensions geometry, new aero (much more downforce).
I'm modelling the new physics with care, and with the same attention to details, to get as close as possible to the real car.
In pure RSR style, this is not just the old 3D with a new nose and diffuser, but just a completely new scratch made model. Mario and Maurizio had this much more refined model in the bank for a while, but we've never released it to avoid losing compatibility with skins. The new 3d model is more detailed and optimized and looks gorgeous!
I've very happy that a very talented sound designer,
@NeverKrash , has decided to help us for this new project, so our new car will also have his own engine sound.
