core@team is proud to present the first part of "Spirit of 76" mod for rFactor.

This first So76 part has two cars, a FIAT X1/9 Dallara and a Lotus Europa, you can race in a single-brand season for the FIAT and for the Lotus as well or you can race in a So76 season racing against these two cars.

Important info:

"The original models have been around for a long time for private use, since the F1C days. They have been improved a lot since. The car physics should be very realistic, they have been developed and tested over a long time and they are based on real data and experience. Put your Speed Sensitivity in the Controller menu to 0 (or very low) to have better control over slides. First make sure that your system and controller are set up fine before you drive. If you’re using the Realfeel FFB plugin, don’t forget to use a negative value. Check the graphical upgrades and the FFB Strength upgrades. For the Lotus you can also choose another more original version with a less modified 1600cc engine."

Technical Data:

1974 Group 4 Lotus Europa:

"The Lotus Europa featured in this mod is a Group 4 racecar, based on the Lotus Europa Special. This means it’s a modified GT racer. It uses hard bias ply slicks which last long and will allow some sliding and drifting. But the key for being fast is smoothness. This car doesn’t have much power, so low weight and handling are it’s assets. The front spoiler and Chapman’s characteristic rear design of the car create a very small amount of downforce. "

Full weight including driver: 675kg
Mid-Engine, RWD, Independent Suspension
1600/1800cc 4 Cyl Inline, DOHC, Fuel Injection
Max Power: 185 Bhp @ 7750 rpm
Max Torque: 200 Nm @ 6000 rpm
5 Speed Gearbox
Bias Ply Slicks


1976 Group 5 Fiat X1/9 Dallara:

"The So76 Fiat model isn't just a X1/9 racecar, it's the Icsunonove Dallara version designed by Bertone. This modified Group 5 racecar is heavier than the Lotus but also more powerfull, and most importantly, it has more downforce. Keep a smooth line to make up in the corners what you might loose on the straights, and don't forget to keep the revs high. "

Full weight including driver: 760kg
Mid-Engine, RWD, Independent Suspension
1600cc 4 Cyl Inline, 16v DOHC, Fuel Injection
Max Power: 210 Bhp @ 8250 rpm
Max Torque: 220 Nm @ 6000 rpm
5 Speed Gearbox
Bias Ply Slicks


Engine:
Keep the oil temp around or below 100°C, do not go above 110°C. The more you rev the engine into the red the more you'll wear it, if you don't abuse it on the straights and lift when you shift it will last very long.
Tires:
The optimal temp is 90°C, the bias ply slicks can stand some abuse from sliding and drifting. Give them a bit of time to heat up.
Brakes:
Below 100°C your brakes are cold, keep them between 200 and 360°C for optimal use, above that you're overheating with less brake power as a result.

Patch:
==================
This Patch will fix the virtual mirror issue, adress the shadow bug of the cockpit windows and furthermore adds a "dirty window" feature by default.
It is very important that you point the installer to your rFactor folder because a batch file will add the new parts to the according .mas files.
We decided to add the dirty windscreen by default because of the compatibility to non patched version. Ifyou dislike the feature feel fre to contact us or replace the *wind01.dds - *wind03.dds with *wind00.dds inside the 2 mas files.

Many thanks to Tarquin, TOG for testing.
