Information
I feel that my goal of completing and releasing a "dirty, fast, and chuckable" car is realised. From start, this point in development (0.7) was reached in 15 days. There's plenty of work left to do like actually finishing off the textures and further tuning the jbeam, but that's for another time.
Inspired by the F1 cars of the late 1960s; no downforce, no grip, no safety, all balls. This particular vehicle is a mash of old and new F1 cars. For instance, it rides on slicks instead of 1960s road tyres, has a safety cell, and is propelled by a modern V8. It's quite easy to drive, but demands a fair amount of competence to drive quickly.
I'm pretty sure this thing can lap Hirochi Raceway much faster than anything else currently.
