    That´s exactly what I thought when I first tested this Mod :lol:

    “could be Simbin Cars”

    Congrats Core Team,
    looking forward to some more Cars :smile:

    Really impressive models. Great job!

  • stabiz

    Tried them a bit more, and both cars are alot of fun to drive. I am guessing damage modelling will be added later?

    This mod is now way up on my most wanted list!

  • Raggy

    i can only see one model?

  • stabiz

    Player/racing series and you will find Sof76. Thats both cars. Originally its Lotus only, somehow.

    The Lotus Europa sounds suspiciously like the Lotus Cortina from GTL.

  • PeterR

    The Lotus sounds come from rFactor. Maybe you’re mistaking with the sounds someone stole from rF and made a Lotus-sound add-on for GTL. :wink:

    Just gave the X1/9 a run around Istanbul. One of my junior school teachers had one of these (yeah I’m that old) and it was the first time I`d laid eyes on one. A head turner in its day I suspect.
    Great models, great physics and the metallic paint look on the blue/gold Fiat is nicely done.
    This is a very polished piece of work and I can see the finished article being one of the top mods out there for rF.

    I’m tempted to render that Fiat if I have the permission to do it.

  • Raikku

    Fiat is almost too good :) Lotus is ok too, although its understeery nature need some practising from driver.

  • morning_wood

    RMi would be interested in converting these to gtr2

    Thanks to all who crafted this find mod. Fiat is incredibly fun to drive, and power is right where it should be. Looking forward to future updates! Job well done!

    Is it me or is the cockpit view of the Lotus a bit naff. On my PC the view I’m getting looks like what it would be if a 9 year old was driving. The streering wheels blocking my view… :smile:
