    A couple of key guys were put in touch with LeStrat and this is this additional assistance coming together. Yoss revamping the model, etc.

    A brief status update:
    Physics wise, there have been some improvements in steering and I'm working on new CPM tyres.

    Yoss is working on the 3D model, making great progress with it. Some screenshots may prove it:
    Please bear in mind that texture wise there's t1 everywhere, just exported from max, zero work on spec, ao and bump maps.

    When I saw these, I thought about this instantly! If these close-up photos help in any way to get the little chassis nuances right, I am very happy :).

    Highly likely that this is a stupid question, but, will the Howsons/Lolas be competitive with these ?

    Not a stupid question, search Wiki for the 1970 season, and yes those car ran together, but by 1970 Lola T70 were outdated cars ran by customer teams, with inferior power plants and no factory support. Lola T70 scored victories at secondary events (with Penske prepared win at Daytona 1969 an exception).

    Cheers.

    Sure it's better to add the 512M. Shall I start working on the physics, yoss? ;)
