Long, long time ago, in 2015, I planned to develop this amazing car, the Palatov Motorsport D2 in several classes, like in real life:
- ROAD COUPE (street legal)
- ROAD ROADSTER (street legal)
- RACE ROADSTER
- CUSTOM (like the purpose of the D4, options for any engine, any body, any gear transmission and any tire to be tested by potential owners)
For several reasons and other incoming projects we always postponed the development… then, at the beginning of 2017 Gilles Benoit fell in love with the sinuous lines of the car (!) and started modeling it; Chris modeled several technical parts too.
Then Mr. Palatov, in 2018, revealed to work on a new D2 named D2EV, Electric Vehicle to be ready to race the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in June 2019!
We started modeling this specific car and working on physics… in the meantime our “resources” decreased because of few of us, that always participated to the project for love and for free, for different reasons and for life duties no longer had the time that similar projects deserve… but slowly anyway we went some step ahead.
Several parts of the D2EV were very original, very confidential and we never shared info with this community, but few days ago at PPIHC2019 Greg Tracy #5 got the 2nd place in the Unlimited Class, 9th overall and we took the decision to open this thread to present our project.

On the web you will find several info about the competition and the Palatov D2EV, but I like to add few unpublished photos of these last days at Pikes Peak.
Coming back to the development of the mod, sincerely I don’t know IF and WHEN the mod will can be available to the public… with a lot of efforts we are now working on the development of the Formula 3 2019 and the physics of the D2EV, the one 4WD with 3 electric motors is not easy at all: the power is something of unthinkable… we have a projection of 1342hp (max theoretically available 1440hp) only tamed by the throttle map, 0 to 9000 rpm in a while, about 3350 lbs (including oversize batteries)!
In conclusion we planned to add the D2EV to the list of the classes shown above.
And now I can show pictures of few details of the the D2EV
Next post will show more of the D2EV ingame. Thank you for the time spend in reading the thread and you know, everybody that would like to participate to the project, for free, is always very welcome!
