    Well I guess a better question for mods is do people make cars/tracks from scratch or do they use a template of some sort for their base ?

    A broken one ;)

    Haha, jokes aside; making a 3 gearbox in a car is easy.
    If you want a 3 speed car, say which one and I'll make it for you (an existing car, can't make a whole car ;) )

    Great thanks.
    What car is the closest to a strictly stock / pure stock production car or closest car to a passenger car.

    I the car and track to be dirt oval track to be like budds creek potomac speedway and the asphault track to be like dominion raceway.
    The cars will be sort of strictly stocks or like hobby stocks etc.

    I'll have to look at the cars again to pick something out but I haven't driven them all to see which is more like a passenger car.
    thanks

    I mean is that something I can just do in the settings or is this a mod that needs to be done for making a 3 speed car ? I don't even know how that works even though I have my server setup to run some races. I just haven't been booting to get something started yet.

    If I don't use something default where can I post to have such a think made for me ?
    And if they charge a fee etc. I'm ok with that it would be interesting project for my server.

    None of the cars I have installed have 3 speeds and only these have 4
    Ford_GT40_MkIV
    Howston_G4_1967_Endurance
    Lola_T70_Spyder
    Lotus_Cortina

    It's a pretty basic thing to change though. In LotusCortinaRaceModern.hdv (extracted from "c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Installed\Vehicles\Lotus_Cortina\0.400\LotusCortinaMAIN.mas") I see
    Code:
    ForwardGears=4

    That looks pretty darn cool, but still requires your own server right ?

    K thanks the Lotus_Cortina looks usable for this but old cars too.
    Stock cars are 4 gears but not really what I am looking for.

    I may have to have something made for me for this.
    I wish I knew more about modding these things myself cause I know what I want but the learning curve may be too much for me with the time I have to put into it.

    I think I can use this one maybe
    BMW M4 Class 1

    It's new / modern and not too indy like.
    4 speed might be ok but perhaps minor suspension lift might be ok for ovals or something.
    This could work.

    Chaparral 2F had three gears, also it had torque converter which meant that clutch was not needed.

    If you want someone to modify an existing car (for private use) you'll need to pick one that isn't encrypted. So basically third party, not ISI/S397.

    Ok, I didn't know anything about it.

    Ok. Modding looks very complicated from what I can tell from reading search content about it.
    I don't think I'll tackle it myself, thanks

    If you can find a car that's basically exactly what you want (size/weight), someone can easily adjust the number of gears (and ratios) and adjust the overall power. For your purposes I reckon the looks don't really matter.

    I don't know what this means for private use ?

    I plan to turn on my server and race and hope to attract other drivers to the race. Once per week,

    I think I could be happy with something existing that can have minimal editing such as gears, and Power etc ?
