Re-released: SimBin WTCC Vauxhall Vectra 2007 Online Custom Skin Enabled

Günthar Rowe · Sep 2, 2010

FYI, I can't change the Wheel Track or Base as this graphically moves the wheels on the car, but I can adjust oversteer, drag and wing produced downforces to rebalance the car. I could make a couple of new chassis physics files for testing if there is some that can put in the laps ...

Ryan Callan · Sep 4, 2010

There's no graphical offset in RACE like rFactor?

The thing I'm noticing aside from the wheel track is the aero? Perhaps a slightly higher drag co-efficient would help, even out the wider track. As in comparison to the SEAT which has the roughly similar track it has less drag AND more downforce.

If you adjusted rear downforce, you would perhaps have to adjust oversteer also.

There is, but this only effects up, down and left to right. The Vectra as all the S2000 car has a defined wheeltrack. If I set this to be skinnier then the wheels will be pulled inside the chassis.

All in all, the only single things that are different from the Chev and the Vectra is less torque and wider wheeltrack. I'll look at making an adjustment to change this...

I'm going to make a C30 2010 also that is more balanced once I work out it's advantages...

Ryan Callan · Sep 4, 2010

I believe the WTCC C30 is simply lighter? The STCC version is OK, but the WTCC version is 25kg lighter as IRL with the WTCC biofuel regs.

Günthar Rowe · Sep 5, 2010

then it should be less powerful to match the 25kg it is missing ....

Ryan Callan · Sep 5, 2010

Or just make it 25kg heavier?

Otherwise you get the braking and handling skewed also

Yes I know that

Was thinking what SimBin should have done in the first place...

Ryan Callan · Sep 5, 2010

Something to do with the real life regs IIRC.

New build to be released solely here at RD for testing, stay tuned...
