Wonderful mod! Such a pleasure to drive. The modelling is perfect to my eyes. Physics is just perfect too. And now with great fps performance.
Thank you so much for this great, great mod.

Awesome car mate!

This car IMO is your best... A nice amount of power...
And a little more manageable than your epic R500.

I am, as I'm sure many other people are, really sorry to hear of your hardrive failure :(
I seriously hope you can recover all of your Caterham data.

Fabulous 5 star car. I've been driving the manual H pattern version as sequential doesn't feel right in a 7. I know the sequential is accurate, but I can't feel connected to such a communicative car without flicking through a proper box.

Car is so planted and will only oversteer at the limit of grip. It's pretty easy to catch, but can also catch you out.

This car on a twisty track that you know by heart is a joy.

I'm still not sure why there wasn't a Kunos Caterham 7 or a Radical of some flavour... This car remedies that situation.

Thank you for making it.

hey thanks for your time writing a review ;)
the idea when it's done (when it's done), is to have the 420r as it is now, + a R300 (which is the previous version of the 420r, same power, but with manual gearbox)

Not sure if there's a possibility of a duff install or whether something has changed but I really don't get this car. Having driven Caterham type cars on track in real life I expected to adore this car assuming it would have a sharp, faithful front end with great turn in and a lively but predictable rear end, but regardless of different setups the amount of understeer this car can generate when not on the power trying to get it to the apex is crazy, it's almost like it's got an 80% rear weight bias or a welded up rear diff or the front tyres are constantly at -20c! On top of that it also refuses to respond to throttle lift or trail braking etc on entry which you'd normally use to tighten your line so its tricky to even drive around it.

I realise this is so at odds with the the vast majority of reviews but its certainly not got the nimble, neutral and playful nature of the real car with the install I've got, sorry. :(

the academy seems to behave more like racers say it would. This one on the other hand doesn't. At least by default. The setup is quite open and allows for lot of liberty. Something can be done to make the car better. But anyways, lot of data isn't from this model, and the whole release of this mod was precipitated by loss of data back then. Since then, this year we started working with real life racers to improve that, maybe to release later this year, to hopefully have a better result ! :)

Superb mod - a really interesting car to find time from. The skins pack takes it to another level - full grids have never looked so good! Cracking work BenO + JC :)

For those that want to see this mod in full glorious action...

This has come a long way since the early version I was gifted, and I thought that was pretty good. This thing is an absolute blast and I would agree with the previous Feldberg comment, great combo.
