(w.i.p) Lola B12/60 Rebellion Racing

[Stefan Woudenberg]

Pre release can be found here
==============================================================

What is new or changed in v0.99 (March 3rd 2015)?

- basic drag increased, so a little reduced top speed
- the range for the downforce is reduced, as it had too much of it
- new tire models for the slick and endurance tyre.
- improved some textures.
- added a new upgrade feature.

Enjoy!!

==============================================

What is new in version 0.95: (Jun 17th 2014)

- updated physics, car is softer, so more grip on the rear.
- centered the left rear brake disc.
- adjusted the tire change, refueling and driver swap times to more realistic ones.
- added new skins which were made by our member Joao Fernandes

Still to do:
- static shadows on the template
- driver animation
- camera positions
- head position of the driver and the head...

==============================================

Update v0.92 (Jun 5th 2014):

- update the engine, which should now have the performance of the Toyota 3.4L V8 RV8KLM.
- the standard eye point is more forward.
- added an ALT skin from Rebellion Racing, so not everyone needs to drive a black car.

===============================================
Info:
After the Pescarolo 2008 LMP car I started working on my next model.
Again a prototype, this time the LOLA B12/60 used by Rebellion Racing in the FIA WEC.

Here some screenies of the WIP:

The work on the cockpit is almost done. Got some problems with the COCKPIT instance whichh doesn't seem to work. If that is done/fixed . I need to make the rpm leds on the steering wheel work and finally the lights, so night driving is possible too.

I have done some work on the sounds inside the cockpit, but I could use some help on that.
If someone could help me with that that would be very much appriciated and you will be in the credits.
The sounds need to be from a Toyota 3.4L V8 RV8KLM.
If you can help me, please pm me.

I am thinking about releasing this as open source aswell as soon as it's released.

No, I haven't received any skins yet....

I'm still planing to make at least one but haven't found time for it yet...

Pre-release here!

Have a nice weekend!!!

Finally I had some time to test this car and hats of to you Stefan. Really great job the only thing I didn't like was the pixely graphic I could see on the inside of my front wheel arches and I felt the driver was sitting quite far back in the default postion, so it is just tiny things.

The car around Silverstone seems to be around 3 seconds slower than the Audi R18, but with a 1.50 still some way off the 1:43s they did this year in the Rebellion. Of course I didn't have a brilliant setup and a lot of practice, but would be interesting to know where the real car is faster, because it is bloody fast through the corners (faster than the Audi).

I wrote now some lines about what is not perect and for the rest I just have to say it is just brilliant. The FFB is much better than on the Audi, which nearly ripped my hands of on the hanger straight.The car reacts nice to setup changes and it is very communicative. You can really feel what is going on. In the Audi you have a lot of moments where you are going off without seeing it coming. In this it feels all very nice and you can catch a slide, but be warned, if you go offline in fast corners this car is a real diva

After some laps on high fuel and trying a low and high downforce setup (high downforce seemed to be better for Silverstone). I took the fuel out to see what it can do in qualy trim and even here the car responds well to the lower weight and you can really feel, that the car is on low fuel in every situation.

I really hope we use this in the WEC club, because the Audi feels like unfinished rF1 stuff and this feels like a polished rF2 car and it is just a pre-release.

With the high downforce setup the top speed was pretty low compared to the Audi, but it is even faster in the corners.

Did a small video of a quick lap with all assists OFF (had one big mistake into brooklance) and it looks a lot slower on the replay compared to when you are driving

P.S. Thanks again @Stefan Woudenberg you really made my day today. Can't wait to race this beast.

Watched that one as well. Wanted to find out the top speed of the Lola at Silverstone, but haven't found any information

LMP1 results of the 6h at Silverstone.
Looks like you have 3 sec to find with a good race setup.

Yep and I was on qualy trim, so it is more around 4 seconds. I looked at the qualy results from 2014 and they did a 1.43.6 in qualy, so thats around 6,5 seconds

I found some data on the top speed and with the high downforce setup, which I used in the video I am missing around 20kph top speed. I found the speed trap figures on the FIA homepage:

next WEC Club race???

 

[Stefan Woudenberg]

Thanx Freddy, your remarks have been noticed. I am happy you like it so far.

The engine lacks a bit of power and I noticed I put the wrong V8 in there....
The update will include the more powerfull engine which should match the Toyota V8. Maybe that is why you miss those last seconds from real life.

Also I will improve the "darkness" inside the frontwheel arches.

 

[Gijs van Elderen]

With some "Assetto Corsa" blur effects...
But it is rF2.

 

[Gijs van Elderen]

Stefan, I've resized your skin to 4096x4096.

@Frederic Schornstein , If Stefan resized his original skin to 4096. The pixely graphics (golden lines and text) are much better.

This car looks epic can't wait to try it soon

More power, that is what every driver loves to hear

Will be interesting how the car will handle that on low speed. So far it is pretty save at low speed, if you treat the throttle with a bit of respect

One big plus compared to the Audi is the visibility. Still looks realistic, but at least I can see where I am going

 

[Simon Christmann]

Did some test laps arround Interlagos and it drives very nice.
Graphics and sounds are also great.
I didnt test to much setup changes and tire wear. Maybe later

Much better to drive like the r18. So it would be a good lmp1 for the club races.

@Rene Reiterer Maybe a nice TXL skin for this beauty coming up?

 

[Alex Ellis]

Looks real awesome can't wait to race these in a club race or a league.

 

[Rene Reiterer]

@Frederic Schornstein ...not a bad idea ;-)

 

[David O'Reilly]

Did some laps at Sebring last night.
Nice work sir.

Stefan just let me drove the car with the new engine. You will be amazed!

 

[Frederic Schornstein]

Here a nice teaser for the new version.
Still some time to find in my driving alone. If anyone is interested I can upload real road / setup and telemetry.
Car was a bit understeery, but before that it was a bit oversteery for me, so haven't found the sweetspot, but in both situations very driveable.
