    Find the torque split setting in the garage, can't remember the tab. And when you're done with that, you play with the diff settings... Close them up or something.

    This would make an interesting physics challenge. Do you release the car similar to the car that raced at Le Mans? Which was a car without the Hybrid system, So the brakes had to work harder due to no energy capture during the breaking process. Do you release the car with weak breaks, two wheel drive? Or do you focus on what the car 'could' have been? 4 wheel drive, Extra Hybrid power, better brakes, More available power so more front downforce can be added. decisions, decisions...

    I am pretty sure that the Le Mans car had Hybrid. It is the rule for manufacturers to have a Hybrid System since 2014. On the other hand, they had so much troublle at Le Mans that they probably couldn't race a lot with Hybrid Energy :p

    Just another question:
    I saw you offer a track in your shop.
    Do you have plans to make a le mans track?
    Here in the forum the Bugatti Circuit is ready and the author works on the 24h version. Maybe you can support him to make faster progress or do you have other plans?

    They did not have hybrid power, which in turn was actually the reason the car and project was scrapped. They couldn't get it to work correctly. They did have a "hybrid system" of sorts fitted but it was not operational which in turn was the reason they was simply so slow (carrying the dead weight).

    From reading on facebook I think Ales plans to release it with 2 set's of physics. One as it ran real world and the other to balance it with the other proto's as if the hybrid worked as intended.

    To reiterate RJames' response, the car was fitted with a hybrid system, which as you point out is mandatory. However it was completely non-functional. Nissan also had to declare themselves in a hybrid subclass and therefore receive their fuel-flow allocation - yet another limit on their performance.

    Also the lack of the Hybrid system meant they had to fit larger tires to hold larger brakes. So one of the prime engineering feats was diminished, the pass thru tunnels didn't work as well due to aero disruption caused by the larger wheels/brakes/tires. So extra weight, less power, increased drag, just a few of the problems that could not be overcome at Le Mans.

    And it couldn't ride kerbs.

    The list of problems really is mounting up here, isn't it? :p I'm not certain we've covered everything yet!

    One of my disappointments with the Nissan Proto was the lack of big backfire flashes. The front engine car has the exhausts exit through ports in the bonnet(hood) so I was expecting some night shots of fiery blue flame filling up the windscreen. I don't know if they actually did backfire during the race, but I haven't seen any footage or still shots displaying that.

    Something new thx to Joe Campana.

    We allready use some1 shaders that are included in honda nsx but now Joe helped us to bring working dirt on the cars. Thank you Joe Campana for taking the time and making those work.
    We will introduce those first on our new Shiro model and with updates bring them to other cars.

    Thank you Joe Campana, ISI and some1!
