Hey! I'm organiser of Firssen Gaming Rally Series, previously Westhill Rally Championship: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/93073-Firssen-Gaming-Rally-Series
All that time I was dreaming about realistic rally events in LFS. I think it's a perfect sim for that because it have amazing physics and it's allowing to make layout so... Every new season u can drive new, unique stages unlike all rally games where all eSport players know every stages really well. That's not rally!
I hope there will be more space and maybe big map addons in the future to do that sort of events...
Anyway... That topic is about a car desinged by me for Rallying in Live For Speed.
My inspiration was mostly R5/Rally2 cars but adjusted a bit for characteristic of maps from rally events in LFS.
Car is based on XF GTi:
-2.0 Turbo engine - 301PS/448Nm (50% intake restrictor for rallying) or 650PS/910Nm (0% for rallycross)
-changed points of suspension and added dampers travel, rear trailing arms replaced with McPerson strunts
-5 speed sequential gearbox with ignition cut
-added center diff and rear diff so it's AWD
-added navigator seat (with wrong animation model xD)
-added downforce
-235/40 R18 tyres like in Rally1 and Rally2 cars
-quick model edit to fit bigger wheels and wider suspension
-added weight (up to 1130kg + recommended 170kg of handicap = 1300kg)
To do list:
-test 225/40 R17 tyres - I think that R18s are a bit too big for XF GTi size
-adjust suspension
-adjust available setup values (if it possible because I did't figured it out yet)
-make interior (add handbrake and maybe replace sequential stick with push-pull paddle)
-new bodykit (my vision sketch in attachments)
-alternative version with gravel tires size (when I figure how to make different alternative options)
I hope that I have more 3D modeling talent than drawing talent xD
When I finish this car and if there will be interest in new season of FGRS, there will be a rule that allow to participate in your own rally cars mods as manufacturer teams if your car meet our rules
EDIT
If anyone have some tech data of Rally2 cars like for example wishbone length, suspension angles etc it would be nice to know those parameters :3
