Always enjoy seeing classic cars come to life on AC and this is a real nice one! Although somehow the FFB feels a bit too light (v1.0) this is the first iteration of the car that i tried as I read something about FFB on previous versions. But if the FFB could be improved in terms of neutral strength would be great, as to get some feel on the road even when going down a straight, I had to increase the cars overall to 120% ingame. PS: im on a CSW 2.5

I'm a casual player an find your MOD beautiful and very enjoyable and fun to drive.

The only negative is that I can very easily beat AI on 100% strength and 100% aggression (and that never happens with any other official cars or MOD).
Any suggestion on what grid I could set up to race with this car?

Thanks for the feedback. We will look at making the AI faster and more of a challenge. One thing to note is that this car is in a lower class, but there a few cars that can fill out a realistic late 60s JGT field, although they aren't necessarily an equal match.

Right now we have the 1968 Toyota 415S Flatnose in early access for our supporters to test and provide feedback. The Lola T70 MkII and the Honda S800 also raced in the late 1960s JGT races.

Here is the Lola T70 MkII:

And here are some authentic skins they used during the JGT races:

Here is the Honda S800:

Here are some authentic skins for the S800:

As I mentioned in another answer to a review, we are working on developing two more of the JGT cars in addition to the Toyota and Daihatsu. The 1968 Nissan R381 and the 1968 Isuzu R6.

Of course! Currently in early access we have the 1968 Toyota 415S. Then the 1968 Nissan R381 and the 1968 Isuzu R6 are in the late stages of development, ready for their early access release upon being voted on by our supporters. Finally, we have a 1973 Matra MS670 in the early stages of development. We are also developing a 1973 Targa Legends pack which will include 4 cars from 1973, with a planned release for sometime in 2024. I (Daniel) personally would also like to get to some Can Am cars, but that depends on what our supporters vote on, right now they are really into choosing various 1930s sportscars for our team to develop.

4 stars for now, altho to me even more like 3.5 sadly. The model is beautiful, handles quite believable, altho it does handle if it has narrower tires somehow.
But the sounds, man... I hope there will be an update to them.
There are "dips" where sound loops just disappear at certain rpm of low-mid range, there are some noticeable seam in the looping in some of the samples, but most of all, just adding a low pass filter to all the external sounds for the cockpit - it's not the way to go. At least it could be done more elegantly, not just cutting all the high frequencies and leaving the most unpleasant range from 2 to 5 khz audible, completely cutting off everything thats above. Maybe it's only an issue for headphone drivers, but after one lap at Nords i had strong tinnitus because ears/brain try to adapt to the weird spectrum.

Thanks for the feedback. We will look at getting some better sounds made, but it can be very expensive being $200 to $500 depending on who we hire. This was an attempt to create the sounds ourselves, although obviously it can be better as you mention. You can see the difference when we hire a professional sound designer with the sound of our 1934 Mercedes W25 we are still developing.

We will push out the 0.995 with a visual tire improvements and some front suspension improvements shortly, any sound improvements will have to come with the 1.0 release.

A beautiful, fun to drive japanese prototype, thank you very much! Smaller details (tires, headlights, tail lights, rear grill, texture mapping on the left front air duct) could use some visual improvements for v1.0 (better textures, refracting lights etc.) but you are off to a great start.

Of course, we have plans to incorporate visual improvements in the 1.0 release. And the tires are going to be visually upgraded for the 0.995 release in the near future.

What an adorable little thing! A lot of fun to drive against other GT cars from the era, as you try to leverage your performance in the corners to make up for your pint-sized engine!

It is isn't it! I enjoy taking it to smaller club layouts and really throwing it around.
