History
For the 1952 season the Formula 1 regulations were scrapped and Formula 2 regulations were used instead, this was where Ferrari took the opportunity to create a dominant car that would be remembered forever.
Winning all but one championship race it entered it was a force to be reckoned with, even its updated forms were still capable of winning races in 1954 and 1955. It was in the 500 that Alberto Ascari dominated F1 and drove to his 2 consecutive F1 titles

Apologies
This mod is based on a highly modified commercially acquired royalty free 3D model. With it being our first and only mod to date, expect many deviations from standards established in high quality mods and kunos cars, such as a very high poly count model, irregular material properties, and very high res textures. Keep in mind this is a work in progress project so most issues will be fixed in coming updates. Feel free to leave feedback on bugs and errors in the comments or reviews, omitting the following items we are already working on fixing and improving:
  • Driver animations
  • Physics (tyres and other updates to come from HSS)
  • Materials

This car is best with CSP extended physics turned on

Not an issue I've ran into so I'm not sure how to help, any logs or error messages?
The car looks good if a little high on polycount also handles about how I would expect it to. The RRL community is also one of the best on AC.
Waiting for the final versio, very fun to drive !
Very good!! I hope you will fix mirrors and left rear suspension for next update

a very beautiful model - thank you !
I think there is a problem with the mirrors

A great choice of car, and a beautiful model. The high poly count go against it, as well a few minor flaws, but certainly a great beta version. The car handles as I would expect it to (but I'm no expert), but I'd say the FFB is slightly harsh, requiring quite a reduction in my usual FFB level to get it to feel confortable.

I am very much looking forward to the final version - well done!!
Awesome Work!!! Mercedes W196 please, great era, thanks for the work
SHOW. Belo trabalho, TOP.
Beautiful work guys.

Vintage cars in AC are always welcomed - and we know how hard is to make them. So, congrats for this nice piece of history you shared with us!
Really nice work so far! Great to see a new 50s beast enter the foyer of AC! Excited to see this evolve further! :D

Very nice mod, feels like Grand Prix Legends cars, I really like it. Front suspension camera / animation is brilliant. Thanks.
Excellent, honestly as a first release (even with the help of the GOATS over at HSS) this is a brilliant job. The lower left rear suspension linkage needs attention model wise however. (I've also thrown together a skin set based on the 1952 Italian GP will upload them now) looking forward to hopefully the rest of the 52 grid?
Firstly, a fantastic car. Great driving physics. Rear left suspension (from the driver's perspective) looks faulty. But no problem because it is still W.I.P you get a 5 star rating.

Fantastic to drive; I just hope you're able to reduce the polycount of the main LOD soon since 1.4 million tris is quite taxing, particularly with larger tracks & grids.
This is what AC needs the most to live on: historics. Thank you for this gem!
The community desperately needed some more 1950s grand prix cars, and especially ones from the early '50s. Thank you so much for this! I look forward to seeing how it'll turn out.
