Many thanks to Martin18 for providing information on the length of the lower arms, he was able to find and the current wheel sizes that he noticed in the photo. And information on aerodynamics, but with a road version and bit different version of the body kit. I also managed to find the 2022 GT4 Tire Use Specifications. Martin also tweaked the engine a bit.
I also found an interesting article on body aerodynamics, it turns out that almost all road car bodies create a lifting force (except for those that do not have a rear slope of the car as in station wagons or vans ). Adding a little spoiler helps with that, but not completely. https://www.drive2.ru/l/4655805/ The article is in Russian so you may need a translation app or something. Since I have a spoiler installed (which is on the body and not from the GT4 version) I made a small lift for the body. But the spoiler, splitter and underеtray are quite sufficient to create enough downforce.
Mod was updated:
Changed wheels size.
Changed suspension.
Changed frame.
Changed aero.
Changed engine rpm values and redline.
Fixed brake calipers.
