what car do you want

[Jameswesty]

Different strokes indeed. I enjoy the challenge of making something that's isn't completely made for racing go like the clappers, the challenge of getting everything out of a low power engine. I do enjoy GT cars from time to time (modern Formula cars are a bit over the top for me, though Formula Ford and other no downforce series are fun), but the grip and power makes them somewhat boring to drive for me. It's easy to be fast in them (naturally it isn't easy to be the fastest in them).

This isn't to say that I enjoy wayward handling and heavy cars, oh lord no. I reach driving nirvana squeezing every possible bit of performance out of a light and nimble chassis equipped with a relatively low power engine (every car with more than 300 bhp has too much power in my view) and street legal tyres, something like the NSX-R readily comes to mind. I have the most fun when I'm in an underpowered car compared to the rest of the field, but I make up for it with lightness and being faster through the bends.

The old Lotus creed: Simplify and add lightness.

Despite all that I do love just about all cars that perform above their supposed abilities. Take the Nissan GT-R, which is both powerful and heavy, and has an insanely complex driveline with tons of electronics, so I shouldn't like it. But it's 150 bhp less powerful and over half a ton heavier than the Gumpert Apollo Sport, but is still faster around Nords. I still prefer the less powerful and prettier R34, but I do appreciate the witchcraft they can pull off.

I do enjoy driving the older cars in games but I think a fundamental issue with them is that it takes so long to get from one corner to the next so between corners you are effectively motorway driving.

Old cars for me are only really fun on windy tracks like cadwell park , I guess old cars can be good for multi player you just have to make sure other people know and learn the brake distances which often is not the case.

For pure multi player pub racing I would like car that's like the megane trophy but 1/3 faster something like the Osella in Netcar pro would be nice to have in RF2

I doubt presently that we'll ever license a Lotus. I have been unable to get them to move on their licensing fee.

There will be something very similar to the R18.

I think that is a loss for lotus.

[Grotesk]

Is there already a release date for the nissan?

[Robert Gödicke]

Yeah, bring on the GT1 Nissan!

I'm really interested how this one will sound. I had the chance to hear it live at two races, and damn the external sound is brutal.

Well, if old car has old tires, old suspension and is driven on old track that is not billiard table smooth, then if old car just is made well it is not boring waiting game on straight either, there is quite bit of thrill, many old cars would have power but driver is too afraid to use it all to go as fast on straight that engine would allow, they are quite alive and handful even on straight road too.

Haven't really saw many that have been able to capture that aspect in sims, street legal redline is perhaps one of the rare ones that have had some of that feel right, hopefully we get that in rF2 also.

I would say that if you have to wait on straights on relative powerful car it is either modern crap car or old car not so perfectly made on not so well made track/road (road too smooth).

There must be something wrong if one can drive 200kph comfortly waiting corner to come without aerodynamic aids, such thing just don't happen in reality, one needs some aerodynamic aids for that.

Here is an OLD car that is NOT like you describe. http://www.rfactorcentral.com/detail...D=F5000%201972 floor the throttle on the straight and it wants to go everywhere BUT where you want to actually go. This is a proper OLD race car. It just needs more noise.

No one has ever done Indy cars 1966 to 1973! They would be cool! Turbines, four wheel drive, turbocharging! And great variety!

Formula 1 of the same period also covers turbines and 4 wheel drive but they didn't work out so well...

Is there already a release date for the nissan?

Nothing other than where I said they wasn't one in the build 60 thread.

Can you tell us if this is just a single car release or part of a package with more cars/tracks? I see there's a template just for the Nissan already released last week.

[Tim Wheatley]

Oreca-Nissan LMP2? That would be logic by looking at cars what you have now in rF2 - Renault-Nissan cars. We know that Renault is the owner of Nissan so... We can expect Formula Renault 2.0 car to complete World Series by Renault cars? Now 100% sure are FR3.5, Megane Trophy, Clio Cup, what with FR2.0? On other hand we can expect Nissan GTR GT3 car?

We're not a Renault/Nissan sim though. There's lots of manufacturers out there.

[Tim Wheatley]

This is wonderful news indeed. I believed the car promo shot was all the cars that would ever be released. Very excited there will be more...we love you ISI!

Oh no, there's plenty not shown on there.

[Tim Wheatley]

I'd really like a modern Formula One car, licensing fees would probably be outrageous, but it wouldn't really have to be licensed, you could just model it similarly to the current cars without doing anything really specific, but giving it that big wide front splitter, and the big spoiler, high revving engine, and a lot of downforce.

What i think would actually be a great idea is, you know how in 2014 they're going to have V6 engines that rev to 15,000 rpm? Why not go into the future and make something a long those lines? You don't have to say that it's an F1 car, just give it 700bhp, and big wings and call it whatever.

Shame about the licensing fees from Lotus, it would be nice to see the T125 in a sim.

We'll not give up on things until they become impossible. A modern F1 isn't yet impossible. A Lotus currently is.

[Tim Wheatley]

I think that is a loss for lotus.

I completely agree. But I don't blame them for having high fees, their name and their history is worth a lot.

There is another car (370z) and track with it.

A Porsche would be very very nice indeed, but really... what are the chances?!

[LesiU]

What ISI can't provide, community will do, right?
Worry not about "if" but "when".

I too like the older stuff, classics, Cortinas, Old BMW's, light weight Elans and open wheelers in general. I particularly enjoy the atmosphere found in the sound and romance of the pre-down force era - To me balancing power against grip in its purest form offers the most rewarding sim experience. Hammering around corners at high speed with down force that is barely true to life has no appeal to me personally.

[Mechamorafa]

I would rather have the actual cars better modeled, with better sounds and more accurately reproduced than a lot of bad mods. I don´t really care about the quantity of cars, but the quality of their reproduction. rFactor 1 is full of really bad cars and track mods, with guessed design and parameters.

I´d like to see rFactor 2 focusing on quality and accuracy mods.
