CART Extreme release for Stock Car Extreme

Patrick Giranthon · Mar 20, 2015

CART Extreme is an official revision of the original Racing Line Development´s CART Factor mod for rFactor with direct participation from some of the original developers and soon available for Game Stock Car Extreme.

CART Extreme will include:

Several graphics improvements (updated car shaders)
Moveable driver arms (from TV view only)
Revamped physics
Revamped sounds

Along with all features from the original mod:

Full CART 1998 field (28 cars)
4 unique chassis (Reynard, Lola, Swift & Penske)
4 engines (Honda, Ford, Mercedes, Toyota)
2 tyre manufacturers (Firestone & Goodyear)
3 chassis specifications for road, short oval and speedway tracks

You can find two of my preview videos here and here.

Some tracks are also being updated to GSCE standards to suit this release - you can find Long Beach & Vancouver already from the Game Stock Car Extreme modding section.

I think what the modders do is to generate a torque curve very steep, as to mimic what the behavior would be once the turbo kicks in.

Unfortunately, you have no actual "turbo", so you can't do any of the driving techniques associated to it (such as kicking the gas pedal to keep the turbo spooling, and reduce lag).

If I'm not mistaken Reiza was developing a turbo model, but I don't know how it's coming along, I think it's expected to be added in the next update (1.30).

Patrick -- I have some items that may be very helpful for you in this project.

Please get in touch -- mikepeters@petersmotorsports.com.

I've been helping out the team doing the rF2 conversion, as well.

Ok

Thanks

I'm so excited, I'm so excited :O The best mod ever on my favourite sim ever

I woke up to this news yesterday and I've been joyous ever since

Guilherme Borghezani · Mar 26, 2015

this is really amazing!!
one question
road america and vanport(portland) is ready for cart factor or need updates?

Patrick Giranthon · Mar 26, 2015

It depends on what you really want. None of them have all the things I can put.
In a way, they can be used, in another , they would deserve some work. I am working on laguna, Cleveland and Toronto but There are some difficulties with street tracks. Will do my best but i will not be able to do all I want I am afraid

Patrick is there going to be anyway of turning up the boost like in the original mod or no? Because if so you should make it so the AI has to run on the same boost settings as you because i think in rfactor they run full boost all the time so they cheat pretty hard lol.

Óscar Melero · Mar 27, 2015

I'm praying for this mod to be added as a premanent car pack to GSCE in the future, like Kunos did with the shelby cobra.

R.J. O'Connell · Mar 27, 2015

That would be really awesome, especially given the wealth of Brazilian talent in CART at this time - Christian Fittipaldi, de Ferran, rookie Kanaan, Castroneves, Ribeiro, and if it extended to 1999, they'd also get da Matta.

I don't think Reiza will ever add a 6 year old rFactor mod, only converted and revamped for GSCE. I mean why would they?

Fabio Rodrigues · Mar 27, 2015

And I imagine the licensing would be a nightmare too, but still, can't wait for the mod

R.J. O'Connell · Mar 27, 2015

They can always revert the drivers and team names to fictionalized mockups.

I for one would welcome "Bullseye Racing" with drivers Jamie Varner and Alessio Zorzini to GSCE.

Yea but then you have to take all the sponsors off the cars and then its pointless and generic, I'd rather not see the mod officially supported by Reiza.
