Cars Lola T70 MkII Spyder (rF2) 2.1

[Emery]

The book I'm after is called "Lola T70: The Racing History & Individual Chassis Record" by John Starkey. I used bits of it for the original physics, but I was relying on the free preview at Amazon for that. Hoping there will be some things in the full book that I missed.

Oh, I've got that one. Sadly, the free preview had all the useful physics info and there isn't any more.

Well... I spoke with John Starkey a week or two ago about it and he told me I should "get back in touch" if it didn't have what I need... maybe ought to explore that offer a bit. (Still, I should buy a copy in good faith if I'm going to do that. )

Thanks for updating this gem.

 

[Davide Nativo]

Thank you very much! I don't know why, but I keep coming back to this car. Wait, I know why: because it is amazing Thanks mate

 

[Billy Pilgrim]

Thank you so much for continuing the updates on this. It is excellent!

I’ll be enjoying this later on today.

Does anybody have a good setup for Sentul International?

aphidgod updated Lola T70 MkII Spyder (rF2) with a new update entry:

The '20s be roarin' now.

Time marches on and enough small changes have finally added up to a pretty major update to these things. The cars haven't really changed, but we keep learning more about the game engine and this version brings both cars up to speed with all of the little things we're doing in 2021.

I've also taken the opportunity to prefix the folders with "ag_". This does mean that all of your old times and records will be lost (apologies) but as the car is substantially different now (tires = big change)...

Read the rest of this update entry...

Now we just need some competition.

Now we just need some competition.

If we look back at 1966, there really wasn't any.

The download isn't working (for me). Hopefully, I'm just stoopid...

 

[aphidgod]

If you mean the download from RD, it's working here... probably some issue somewhere in the pipes between you and RD.

If you mean the cars aren't showing up in game, there are two car folders inside the main folder - doublecheck to make sure you have everything where it needs to be.

 

[Zuffenhausen Weiss]

Great work but any chance we'll see the same treatment for the coupe version

 

[GTAce]

If we look back at 1966, there really wasn't any.

Still wouldn't mind a Chaparral 2D/E or a McLaren M1B.

 

[aphidgod]

Wouldn't mind an M1B myself...

 

[Eck Simpson]

If you mean the download from RD, it's working here... probably some issue somewhere in the pipes between you and RD.

Yep, I meant the download from RD. Thankfully, its all good now...

Obviously, just me...


I came back... Just to say, I hope and pray for the rF2 car to be updated with this revised body... some day.

Thanks for the update! The best just got better!

I love the new tyres - I can almost feel the rubber, now

Thanks, David.

These are by far the best feeling Vintage Tyres I have experienced- All other Cars with similar Tyres (especially Kunos ones) feel different somehow... I can't quite put my finger on it, and I obviously have never driven anything similar for real, but this is how I imagine it should be! Would it be hard to give for example, the 908 Longtail a similar Tyre Set?
Just a question, it's not one of those *I WANT MORE!* demands , but after a few Laps with the Lola, everything else just lacks something!

However, If I'm completely honest: I want you to equip each and every Vintage Car with your Tyre Model!

 

[Fat-Alfie]

I feel exactly the same. I tested the new tyres prior to release and joked with aphidgod that you could 'feel the rubber', but it's true.

It's like you can feel the tyres lose and regain grip, now. A dab on the brakes and it's like you can feel the frontl tyres being pushed into the tarmac. Oversteer is much more controllable now, too, as you can back off slightly and sense when the rear tyres start to grip again. Lose of grip at either end feels much more natural.

The whole car just feels more... organic now - I don't know how else to describe it. I'm just sad that most of the other vintage cars that I enjoy driving don't have such good tyres.

Aphidgod, with this T70 you have spoiled us - thank you!

Thanks to both of you, @aphidgod @Fat-Alfie .
The Car is one thing, you deliver the perfect Tracks to race it on!
