Neither of these are the typeface used on the labels, but they might be close enough:

Omg, the sound of this thing is astonishing. Can anyone do it justice?

Please share some good footage we can work with for the sound if you have some

With proper sound, this project is going from epic to epic²

Did anyone else know they had air jacks?!

The tech for the period is nuts!

This is somewhat above my paygrade. I hope the mod will be slightly cheaper

A new reply to this thread immediately made me nervous,...oh well...back into hibernation

Sorry for lack of progress btw, I had totally planned on using a few weeks of downtime to finish this though literally on my first 'day off' a new unexpected project rolled up that I couldn't turn down, which is great for me but scuppered any plans to get some mods finished

This breakdown of the specs for different races/drivers is interesting. If too low res to be much use

And there's a nice cutaway in here - http://www.grandprixhistory.org/auto_c.htm

Lol if you like GPL mod models and are happy with a fully independently sprung car with a solid rear axle with the fuel mass entirely different to what was then an innovative concept of mounting it centrally, then sure, fill your boots.

If fuel tank hangs out in the thin air, does it mean that the car is fueled purely by an oxygen ?

It also has poorly made wheels which I saw somewhere already.

Sorry but I guess you have that to discuss with the mod maker and not shooting at the messenger.

We'll still disagree with your assessment that those mods are worth downloading.

There's nothing dubious about that site.

You're really obnoxious. Please go away.

Thanks for @John Eddowes for reminding me: I discovered http://www.kolumbus.fi/leif.snellman/main.htm over a decade ago, but it's still spectacularly good, despite the design not changing in the meantime!

Hi, what a stunning job of an amazing car, my favorite so far...
I am so glad more than for any other model

missing so much but with mercedes w125 update it's great
