Team LMT has released their first ever public mod for rFactor, bringing Ferrari's F60 Formula One car and the 2009 version of the Singapore Grand Prix to the simulation. Driven by Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen, the F60 was Ferrari's take on the new rules introduced prior to the 2009 Formula One season. Despite being equipped with the promising KERS system, the car failed to make an impact on the world championship. Along with the car comes the 2009 version of Singapore, Formula One's first ever night Grand Prix. The team's first public mod for rFactor was helped by many modders who ...

Lets hope it has better FFB then the E21. The E21 was my favorite car until I started playing HistorX. Now I realize just how bad the FFB is in the E21 with it’s lack of RealFeelability.

Well the 935 was 12 years after the GT40. Not really the same type of thing.
I’m hoping for better physics for this one. The E21 was so easy to drive it made it dull.

The GT40 was raced as a group 4 GT car. The 935 belongs to Group 5 (GT silhouette pretty much, especially by 1978, checkout the 935/78 – better known as moby dick) so it’s a bit “apples and oranges”. One of porsches true engineering masterpieces, good to see it in sims.
Handling should be a bit weird as they didn’t have a diff at all – solid rear drive, meaning big understeer at low speed and small throttle openings, but good stability at high speed. Paul Frere wrote about a test drive of a Kremer 935K3 and I think the original 935/76 in the 80’s and commented about low speed understeer, as does Mark Hales in his test drive of Nick Masons car in the book Into the Red.
Can’t wait
