[WIP] Apex Modding - 1970 Sportscar Championship

Not tried them at new Spa, I have been concentrating on the historic tracks but these cars are a blast to drive.
 
Lovely, I cant wait, I really can't. Will make a few videos of these. Are you guys going to work on some of the other cars after this update for the 917? It would be lovely to see the Matra or the Alfa.
 
A quick note on a graphics issue with the current version of the 917 that I am running: the steering shaft is only rendered from the outside and as it isn't capped by the steering wheel boss it is possible to see down the inside. Not a major issue, but it can lead to one of the more disconcerting aspects of VR where something is visible in one eye but not the other.

I love the VR experience in the Ferrari. Driving a closed cockpit car without any clipping around the roof or windows is really immersive.
 
That's the sort of carnage I usually see at historic Spa as well. Superb fun but a genuinely frightening circuit to try to drive flat out, one small mistake and the results are that screen shot
 
Oddly enough, it was the start when everything was neat and orderly. Just one guy took Malmedy a touch to the left and caught those damned hay bails.

Are they Lola's you are racing with in that pic? I was racing with the 917 and the Ferrari with the Lola's at Longford and it was a really good match, they were slightly slower but it added some more variety. What other cars do you run with these?

Yes, from Crossply. We also run the Alfa 33 TT 12 (Chief Wiggum) even though it's technically from 1974-75 but components of it were tested during 71-72 seasons because of the change to 3 L engines (thanks gas crisis). CMS worked closely with Apex to create a very good BoP and run the historic schedule. It's been fantastic getting to know the cars and tracks from this era. Yosss and Gwee have done astounding work.
It would have never happened without them
 
Would love to do some online racing with these, do you guys use them a fair bit and would you have room for an enthusiastic beginner (rf2 not all online racing)?

Absolutely. The group is very open and diverse from all over the world. The more American based one is Tuesday at 8:30/9 pm EDT ( 12:30am GMT) and the other is Saturdays at 1:30/2 EDT (5:30 GMT). Purist, Pro and Am classes and a wide variety of talent means you're ALWAYS racing with someone. And several are folks who will share setups and offer help.

Note, it's not every week, races are about once a month, staying as true to the original 1971 calendar as possible.
 
You have a kind of bop for all the cars in the video?



P. S. I don't know if it will be possible, but Could be great a future pubblic release of your CMS 1970 sportcar championship league edition vmod for use it in offline championships too

Yes all the cars are BoPed for the series. They all have very unique characteristics, strengths and weaknesses. The CMS team typically doesn't do public releases since many of the mods are from different sources and the original owners prefer we don't release their products as our own. But to that end, Apex is doing some great work to release all the cars from 1970 which should be an amazing set.
