[WIP] Car voting - What cars do you want to see in rFactor2?

A car I also like ;) Nissan and the Datsun

Sorry, I'm not sure if I missed this thread or just never commented in it. Since it is popping up, I'm not sure if requests are still being taken. I know you probably have a big list, but hopefully I can sway those options :)

I come from the midset that conversions are ok if done well. So if it is done for another game, I would typically try to have something that hasn't been done previously made than something that has been done 10 times over.

I've also been starting to get interested into club racing. I know everybody wants to race big fast powerful cars. But sometimes you get great racing with things that aren't quite as fast. They are more approachable from racers of all classes. Plus, it can be a benefit for people who own the cars to get practice.

So with that, my thoughts:

Elan DP02:
It started out as the IMSA Prototype Lites car. Now they are very common in the SCCA P1 class. It was something I didn't appreciate at the time, but seems to be a very advanced car. Looking at race car classifieds, they seem to have some good pictures of everything.

They are old enough now that a few people are starting to create their own body kits for it.

Scott Tucker’s SCCA D sport racer
Probably one of the best motorsport stories ever.

It is a one off, but I don't think it has been made for any games ever. Would be crazy fun to race with.

The top car is cool, also I think it's not that much work. Cockpit is probably just like a formula car.

I believe (not 100% sure) that the car is just a full body version of the Pro Mazda car of the day. That is another car that is raced a lot at the club level.

But yes, pretty small formula car early 2010s looking cockpit from what I can piece together.

Engine is a Mazda MZR. Couple different versions of them. I saw 2.0L and a 2.3L listed in sales adds. Seems to be really close to the Tatuus PM-18, also a Mazda MZR. So that could be borrowed physics wise.

All in all, just a neat car for people to learn on that has never been made before to my knowledge.

I get your point but this was my first ever 3D car while there is so much I could have done better with the experience I have now. Therefore it's more easy to start on a fresh Cayman RS that is directly on point. I need to add that I compared my model to a laserscanned version and the differences are very small actually, but enough to notice them.

Did you know I added a new bumper? I agree with the rear bumper and a small offset on roof shape. But when I asked the community for blueprints back then nobody replied. I could not find them in 2019 and this was done just by feeling (eyes only). In the end we are looking at a lot work while I expected way more support on the Cayman when it comes to usage. So my idea is to use the RS parts on the GT4 car once they are done.

I got that always in mind, that the cayman was the first one. I just got fed up and angry while doing a skin for a upcoming 24h Nürburgring race on the cayman, and a friend of mine, who is a bit more into 3D skinning and so on noticed that, just put the 3D model into blender and also the ACC, the old GT4 Cayman from AC and the 718 GT4 by guerilla from AC to compare these cars. I think by looking at the car alone, you think "mmh something isn´t right" but when you got the comparison between the cars you notice, that this small difference in length and the roofline that is a little bit to high in combination makes the car look a little bit weird.

But still paying big respect, for what you did with this car from scratch without any blueprints and looking forward to the RS, that maybe will get a GT4 outfit too?
We are now racing the Cayman together with the Enduracers Alpine in a NLS league (also Clio, TCR,, DTM 91, 911 Cup and GT3 class) and we are hoping that other modders also will have a look at this class. Maybe with your upcoming Supra, we can apply the physics of the Supra to the Maserati GT4 that is a little bit outdatet (if we can contact the modder of it).
Would be nice to see this class growing

I think I posted this before, you are going to make the ACC crowd very angry. They have been begging for the Supra & Mustang GT4s for years.

Good point @Donat, let me add them on the bottom of the poll for a future voting. Personally I'm a big fan of the new Porsche Mission (a great practice for me as modeller). Secondly the 1968 Lamborghini Miura P400 I have in mind will be this one.

How cool is this! Beautiful. :)
Just like the DeTomaso Pantera and Mangusta, this old beauty looks gorgeous with the racing dress.
And those high heels shoes... so sexy. :p
 
Ah, was that classic Lotus not yet around?

@Sergitroon I was around 16 when this clio Cup was doing a Spa sprint race. Halfway the race in the classic busstop one of them flipped on his side. 3 wide into the busstop was at cause
 
I am more new cars guy so for me
GT86\BRZ or GR86\BRZ2 would be awesome addition to the rF2 collection.

Leagues get more hype and participants when newer cars are used there

A Japanese company that sells simulator cabinets offers the GR86 BRZ Cup as a paid mod. However, due to the aggressive pricing and the lack of popularity of rFactor2 in Japan (iRacing>AC>ACC>rFactor2), it has not become a hot topic.
