I guess that's the museum in Stuttgart!? I've been there a long time ago. There are some nice events every year.

yeah, great museum. You live close to it, but I have had to travel 12.000 km to visit it.

 

Wow. That's really a long long trip just to see some old cars[emoji6] it's a great museum. The Mercedes Benz Museum, too. It's in Stuttgart, too. Am is next to Stuttgart in Affalterbach.

Well, not just to see old cars, I rented a 911 Targa to test. The Mercedes museum is amazing, the cars and the building are incredible . I had the pleasure to see the Sauber C9 and C11 in person and many other fantastic cars.

 

about six years ago, I travelled about 400 miles from Central Texas to West Texas to get to the Petroleum Industry Museum in Midland Tx. Why? Because about 1/3 of the building houses Jim Hall's Chaparrals! I saw the 2c, 2d/e and more. Even a Ferrari was there on loan since the 2J Vacuum car was off to some hillclimb at some old stodgy estate in England. Spent about 2 hours taking photos and now I can't find them anywhere on my hard-drives. The drive back was looonnnnngggg I slept through part of it and I was the driver!!!! Now I'm living up in North Idaho, an hour or two from Canada. I doubt I'll ever have the chance to see them again.

 

Wow Damian kudos

 

Hi, some of our community drivers testing this car have reported overheating problems depending on the track. Is there a way to enable the posibily to increase the cooling of this car?

 

What track and what was the weather setup ??

 

I don't know what exactly the others tested. I personally tested Road America, default weather (29ºC ???) and got smoky after 4-5 laps

 

Thanks for the information.
Let us investigate

 

This is massive fun. In this 917 against 20 AI of Howston 69s, Lola T280s, Lola T70s and other 917s on 115% at Longford. Or 120% at Le Mans. Great, great races. Vintage Sim racing heaven.
Thank you so much.

 

awesome car

This car is an absolute blast to drive, best car imo in rfactor 2 & the physics are excellent I love it. Thanks for making this

 

OMG...I will have your babies for that 512...
