Mostly because for a long time I have been fascinated by this
I can get it to drive quite similarly in rF2. And I will.
It is also good looking to me, it just seems correct. I like how late 70s slicks were, how car moved around on them. I want to do some cars from 70s. I like that it is not ground effect car, because I dislike how ground effect cars had to be rock stiff, and just too much downforce. It also looks to relativelly easy to model ,although there is lots of small details. I like that interior is simple. No lights, although that is not a problem for me to do anymore. Rims blur will be simple, I hope, the fact that there will have to be grooved tire graphics complicates it, but I should make it work...
It sounds great.
It is very misrepresented in sirmacing, much like Cooper T51, an absolute legend and exciting car, there is a charm about cars that are awesome, but unpopular. They feel more honest, as without popularity it means that you are genuinelly interested.
Few interesting bits about it:
- Maurice Phillipe designed this car, he also designed Lotus 49 and Lotus 72;
- One of the first cars to use computer telemetry;
- Electronic limiter at 10400RPM;
- Tested same idea as Brabham at the time, and wanted to install turbine at the top, and have radiators at the floor. But cooling was ineffective, and they abandoned the idea;
- Patrick Depailler drove it with good results. One of the best drivers at the time. Was fearless.

What a joy all the cars you've featured this year and even before are!
Fascinating physics.
I've hardly ever tested BMWs, but I'm delighted that you're featuring cars from that era.
I have a slight preference for the 70/80 cars, although I obviously love 50's cars too.
I'm thrilled that you're working on this new car...
I can't wait to test it, especially since you haven't publicly featured cars like this before.
Thank you again, and best of luck.
PS :
The rFactor 2 community, though small, is incredibly lucky to have a modder like you.
I'm also closely following @Frederick Alonso tire project, which you might be able to benefit from, potentially making your work even better (this is just a guess, I don't know for sure).

Thank you. I think it is going to be pretty good.
I would also be happy of receiving a feedback about tires and phyiscs once it is released in future.
By the way, new interesting detail I have learned about this car, active camber adjustment was built for this car, but it proved to have negligible improvement for pace, so they didn't use it.

AAARE YOUUUUU REEEEEEEEEEAA-DYYYY ??? Of course you are not.
Ooops, I a mnot releasing yet, I have no idea when release will happen, and in what way.
But I am enjoying doing the car, check out real one in details, what a great set of pictures:
cars.bonhams.com
I thought it will be more simple, but in fact it is LOADED by details.
I just have to make it up to a point I am happy with it, as I will be the only person drivign it most likely.
Have not yet begun doing interior, and barely did anything about mechanicals. There is still plenty of work for exterior parts. At this point model is shifting to a phase when work load grows and perceivable progress drops quickly.

I am considering keeping this car as personal for undefined time. But I will try to make video of me driving, as soon as its physics will be very good. Hopefully it can be satisfying enough for people, as it takes no time to see it in game, you don't need to download it, then launch the game and do laps, just watch three minutes on youtube, I'll save you time.
The modeling goes nice, it isn't hard car to model, but the level of small details in this car was unexpected, aside all the mechanicals at the rear, which was obvious.
Still lots of detailing for exterior needed till it is good enough. I haven't starter cockpit yet. I have no idea how to model transmission block properly.
50 000K Faces, 100 000 Tris at this point.

Sorry for spamming guys, it is pathetic of me. I am trying to do it less. You don't know how bad I spam in Discord, thankfully you can simply just not look.
Hopefully overflowing with WIP posts isn't going to kill yours interest, like overshowing attention to a beautiful girl kills her interest haha I said many times, to me, a modder (low key developer), gamers are like a hot girl. I have to be pleased if I am allowed to make her life better ? Feels like that, and feels like I anot allowed and have to try better asap as I show signs that I want to lol This is how it works, and this is my battle.
I don't know how bunch of men, of which many are not even in their 20s anymore would feel being compared to hot, spoiled girl, but here we go...

More often than not, creation brings a yearn to show/share and no one should feel negative about you posting stuff, neither here nor on your Discord.Sorry for spamming guys, it is pathetic of me.

Is there any way these images can be viewed by people from the United Kingdom? I can only see "Content not viewable in your region" Anyone else have this problem. Not sure if it's a setting my end, or the posters account, but I'm pretty sure I've been able to view mantasisg's images before.Sorry for spamming guys, it is pathetic of me.

@Porsche962C No biggie, you only have to throw down your government.
I hope these shows, I am not used to uplaoding directly to forum. Probably 80-90% finsished where last 10% is other half of the work.
