    Does this require the F1 1975 mod as a base?

    So far, no issues running the cars. The AI tend to oversteer into corners which causes the back end to swing around.
    The Shadow & Mclaren, the two Chevrolet powered cars obviously are sharing whatever engine Chief assigned.(I get it...WIP) Just want to be clear the 8.1 litre Chevy Big Block did not find life from 8k to 11k on the rpm dial. 6600 to 7200rpm would probably be a more reasonable range for those large engines. The highest reving Chev was the 1969 430CI (7L) in the Mclarens. They used an oversquare wide bore/short stroke designed that allowed higher revs. But only up to 8500 max and almost NEVER beyond 7800rpm. The Standard customer Zl1 race motor by Chevy made it's top power under 7000rpm. Even before 1969 was over, some of the cars were using 460CI(7.5L) engines but all those depended upon the longer stroke available to Chevy engines and thus lower rpm. Most Ford engines used in Can-Am depended upon a short stroke and thus were always higher revving. (except possibly the 494CI(8.1L) but the max race rpm was certainly not anywhere near 9k, I would guess 7.8k to 8.3krpm would be around the top end of the Fords.) The largest Chev race engine was also 8.1L but they did try a 9L in practice.
    So, the point of this information. The big block Chevy's (which after 1967 were by FAR the most used engine in Can-Am)were relatively low revving grunt machines. Happy around 7k, stressed and overworked at 7.5k

    Quite nice to drive, feels good. However, the cars can get launched into the sky on some rough kerbs and obviously sausage kerbs. It would definitely be nice to have actual engines these cars used, I drove the Siffert Porsche and it had a DFV...

    Wonderful cars.
    It's all still a BETA.
    Keep it up, that will be something nice.
    First finish the F1-1975 and then finish the Protos.
    The strenght is to be found in serenity!
    I can wait.

    I know the first release is just getting the models in game and it uses other physics. Just want to add more information for later on. The steering in the mod felt very light. Even with 100% ffb, which I rarely use, The car 'felt' very light and nimble. By the 70's, the tires Firestone & Goodyear produced were HUGE. 15 or 16 inches wide in the front and 19ish inches for the rears. No power steering so especially at low speed corners, the effort to turn those cars must have been extreme. Taking a look at the drivers of the day, very few resembled the Wee Scot Jackie Stewart. Many like Denny Hulme were truck driver sized, stocky, muscular etc. Today's F1 jockeys would probably slide around the cockpit due to the size most cockpits were to accommodate the larger bodied boys.
    I can't attest to many of the Interseries/European cars, perhaps they WERE light and easy to drive, certainly the early 2.0L Climax & Ferrari might have been. But as this project progresses, I HOPE we get a good approximation of the size & weight of these cars. The '73 Penske/Donohue Porsche was probably close to 2000lbs when fueled for a race.
