Description

"Art mod" based on a 1933 French endurance record special

This classic endurance record special was made in France to test quality of engine oils and engineering. It was built using an ordinary stock car chassis with a custom aerodynamic body. The car did 300 000 km in 134 days and kept an average speed 93kph, which was an exceptional achievement back in the day. It set 106 world records and 181 international records in the F category.

Art of modding
This mod is a low-poly graphic-art experiment. I made it to enjoy testing bounds of LFS rendering.

Realism note
In contrast to the unrealistic graphics, physics is tuned according to IRL chassis specifications. Beam axles and historic tire sizes are not supported in current LFS version, but were approximated as close as possible. The approximation using double wishbone is designed to follow camber changes of a real beam axle when cornering. Of course, the car is little easier to drive over bumps than IRL. The mod is suitable for slow tracks.
