Great mod! I have been racing at lfm with Fredric Alonso the modder for this car and there is a lot of chatter about how good this car is ! having direct input from the modder is priceless.
Glad to see it's going to be used here and with such a great selection of tracks it should be an epic series to kick off the 2023 season!
And 20 drivers so far!
soooo, Would you guys like this series to be Live Broadcasted?
Question: is there anyone who does not own the new 397 DLC versions of these tracks? The performance improvement is about a 30% increase in optimization over these less-optimized free versions .. Just asking as these new tracks, that cost less than a 'cold pint', just released by 397 are incredibly good .. ..Just speaking from a broadcasting POV as with 10+ cars the performance drops severely, as well as the surface, being more accurate & then there are the visuals .. again I'm just curious?

 

Been testing an update for this car from Fredric! It should go live on steam in the next day or so . Make sure to check steam if it does not auto-update when you have the time

I've updated the server to v2.01 but will not be updating it for every hotfix that may come along between now and the race. A final update can/will be done a couple of days before the race if necessary.

In case any of you notice some strange sound issues with the mod here is a note from Fredric It's apparently a 397 issue with the new sounds .
The Audio is under investigation, we got the new audio code just 3 weeks ago and meanwhile Devin (S397) said there is a small reverb code issue that is making offset on stereo reflections.

Because we used a big part of the code as it is, we will fix that small bug in the hotfix that is coming soon. We do this hotfix once our 3 new tyre models are tested enough. Also few small LOD issues will be solved. We compared the Motec data from 2 'Aliens' and a real Cayman racer and the car physics are very accurate. Only the tyre model needs more work, less grip on them above a realistic temp value should hold back a lot drivers. We where aware from the tyre bug before V2.0, it just takes months of testing to find the best possible candidates. This new tyre should result in very realistic lap times and more bumper racing then what you see now, we only hope people will like 'less grip'.

If you select these cars in game you have the old SFX (full mono) sounds:

5 Tamiya Racing
5 Alpendruck Racing
22 Valluga Racing
66 Schutz Motorsport
99 PWZN Racing
168 Mathol Racing
