Um, as one of the ones involved in the starting of this thread... I'd just ike to highlight the fact the title. Key in this is the word "Possibility", meaning it's possible not concrete.
Months ago, my team sent an email to the devs asking if it was OK to seek out new content, pending that it was THIER decision as to whether the new content would be used. DP1 is a lead, not a guarantee. The thread was put here to guage community support for the vehicle.
I personally havent made any asumptions on this, It's just a possibility.
it woulod be REALLY cool, but it may or may not happen

+1 gotta have my team colors
girly or nto they make for excellent track cars
*snip* seemes i missed the very last post in my sleep deprivation, which makes my post redundant and un-neccisary.
admin/mod, feel free to delete this post, or not, doesnt matter to me.

Guess that kills my team's slickmod server.... that was quitea lot of fun to run slick shod GTi's around the arena courses
*Snicker* If it's possible to texture in solidworks, I'd like to try to do a ZWR livery for it, it mgiht help with marketting later j/k
Keep in mind that one of the shining points of LFS is that it's beninner friendly. I can't think of anything more frustrating to a beginner than making a simple mistake and ending up with a car you cant drive anymore even back to the pits for repair.
moare accurate damage would be nice, but it really wouldnt accomplish too much if the car was in such a state that it could no longer at least be limped.
So i propose a compromise, realistic, but limited damage.

Yeah, it's great stuff. and It's quite exhilarating to see someting come of an email. (I've written to a few american race car companies as well, but no response.)
The small companies with a lot to gain from popularizing thier vehicles, and enthusiasm for thier craft seem most apt to allowing the car to be reproduced in the sim world.
I would assume (ub abswer toa previous user's question) that the louvers were integrated on the prototype design and will be replaceable on the production models. I could be wrong though as the lines areand therefore aero is cleaner with the integratred parts
(forgive horrid typos its about 6am, and ive been up since 10 am yesterday
hmmmm..... accurately reproduced DP1 + accurately produced PIR + telemetry = posibility for benchmarking lfs direct to real data
IE use the control input telemetry and compare the results (compare the gloads from the real car, and the g-loads from outsim)

I can second that. What you see in the Forces View are Vectors, which are the Net force in a certain direction. 1G left and 2G's right would produce a single vector indicating 1G to the right, as that is the effective force in that direction. You see lateral and acceleration vectors as well because these come from different sources and are forces of thier own, in thier own direction.
Support a local Raceway? I'm there. What people don't realise in some areas is that a legitimate raceway like PIR is the best way to fight street racing: Provide a legal outlet. From what I hear the track fees are to high to be effective though. If there had been a road-course anywhere near Corpus Christi most of the motorsports club I was part of would have raced there instead of the streets.
If PIR's a city park, getting support shouldnt be hard at all. This is especially true in the preservation aspect, since once you put something on the internet you can never kill it. I've been concidering approaching Mid Ohio Sports Car Course for the same reason.

Personally i wouldnt mind seeing an "FZ Cup" version for the FZ50 and and new FZ additions, similar to the carrera cup. a slight upgrade to the FZ50 but not outrageous like the GTR version. More like a Sportsman class.
wing, diffuser and brakes would probably be the main upgrades, complimented by a rather spartan interior for reduced weight.

Elandor, that's what the placeable mounds are for, to make your own elevation changes
Well, Dennis.. I think the first step in getting PIR would be to approach the management of PIR. Kind of like we approached you. As the others said though, S3 is a ways off still. Who knows though, we got the BMW-Sauber F1.06 in the middle of S2 development.
To be completely honest, when joen and I started this thread, I didn't expect such a warm welcome for the car, but once again this community has managed to impress me.
(PS, have you got your own CFD program or do you use someone elses?)

Well, i do have one more thing to add to this.
Budget: The larger the number of supporteres the less hard it becomes to raise the money. That's why Fund Raisers exist. If we have to we can sell candy bars

the SCCA sure like to race Legends at Mid-Ohio and other raceways a lot for it being an oval only car
Actually, let me see if any of my contacts are willing to help. dragster and stock car experience comes itno play here, becquse we have mentioned tubular frames, and that's probably the way to go for a team with limited funding and facilities
heres a cool thought, DP1 in LFS, and a DP1 reproduction cockpit build off of actual specs.
wait a minute... OT
well, the sheet meal work wouldnt be too hard, and we could sneak it over a subaru impreza so that the 4wd and engine are already in place

Nextel Cup cars make about 800 BHP.
excellent point. the F1.07 is nto fundamentally a different car than the f1.06. It's simply updated.
The f1.05 however was designed to comply with a different set of rules. and is thus a fundamentally different beast.
Want me to write a letter to 600Racing to see if they are as keen as DP cars is?
It would tickle me crazy to see the FXO GTR get built. Not that it wouldn be a great car but the notion itself is sort of paradoxical.
When was the last time a car was in a game then became a real car? I don't beleive it's ever happened that way.

its off topic as all hell, but you cant edit anything other than the demo cars with tweak V
if you figure out how though...
