WELCOME TO THE GROUP C SPORTSCAR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
MAK-Corp Group C Community Update V1.2


Demo race at Mexico 1988

INTRO
Most sim racers will know or have played the Group C mod from MAK-CORP. It has been regarded as one of the best mods of rRactor 2 by the community.
But it was a bit dated since it has been around for quite a few years. Since the original developers are not working anymore on the mod anymore, some inspired community modders have taken up the task of improving the mod to current standards. This has resulted in the present mod version V1.2.

From the community modders:
As the title says, this is a community update for the infamous Group C mod by MAK-Corp. All credits belong to them and more info about the changes can be found on the official forum. There are a few other skins added to the pack by @Highlandwalker and @rvieira.

This updates includes new icons thanks to Chris and his online tools, better structured and standardized skin descriptions, new filters, 11 new 962 skins and 6 new C11 skins created by me inlcuding infamous colours and schemes from the mid 80s and early 90s, new driver model, several visual updates and an overhaul of the AI with new BOP, talent files for all cars and drivers and improved behaviour.

Install
To install the mod you have to download the file and extract the rfcmp file to your packages folder and install it with the modmanager or the ingame content managment tools.
SRO has combined the original 3 parts into 1 file. The file is +1000 mb.

There are 3 Group C cars in the mod:
- 1991 Mazda 787B
- 1991 Porsche 962C
- 1991 Sauber C11
- Unique physics for each vehicle
- Unique engine sounds for each vehicle


All 6 events of this series will be broadcasted
Broadcaster: Rob Milliken

 

How does each race start?
The race starts with a Formation lap & ROLLING START.
When the pole-sitter crosses the startline, the race is on for all.

****************************************************************
No Esc. on track rule in Qualification
In qualification, you can not press Escape (Esc.) while on track (if you crash) and then go back out again.
If you want to do another run, you have to come into the pits first.

This is to protect the other drivers from someone taking abnormal risks to set a good lap time and crashing (other cars).

****************************************************************
Points
The points system is the same as the original Group C points system from 1991.

****************************************************************
Tracks
All tracks are original Group C tracks that were driven in the 1990's.

No, that will not be the case.
Round 1 Le Mans will start in daylight and end in the night, with a spot of rain in the middle of the race.
We will not have rain in every race, but in 2 or 3. I will announce in what race there will be rain at the latest 2 weeks before the event.

 

Shame the mod doesn't have this car.

Only the Porsche has the option to choose between the IMSA and WSC engine. The Mazda and Sauber do not have engine options.

I leave it to the Porsche driver to decide which engine he will choose.
I would advise taking the WSC engine as that is the faster version. But it also has a higher fuel consumption than the IMSA engine.
Porsche drivers can make a strategic decision about it.

The Mazda and Sauber engines are in any case BOP'd with the Porsche WSC engine.

 

That would be logical, but I didn't test the difference. Only drove on the R500.

 

I'm glad to announce that APTORA Field Service Management Software is once again our series sponsor.

 

This isn't an update from the same community group that did version 1.2, the one we are currently using, but a private update.
So I'm not using this one.

The guy who made version 1.3 even says this, so it's not a dependable link for the duration of our Group C series:
If anyone feels offended by me releasing this update, then let me know and I will take down the DL. As the modding team hasn't been active since several years now, it's difficult to get in touch with them.
