Hello racers!

Vehicle information and trivia:



Season 5 of Layout Racing League sees a switch to a single spec car, the Formula Skippy by Kilo46. Like its real-life counter part the Skip Barber Formula 2000, the Formula Skippy is a primilarly mechanical-grip based open formula vehicle with modest power output and a simple chassis design. Focusing on the raw experience of driving, the car has little in the means of driver assists - no TC, no ABS and only a speed limiter for pit regulations.

The Formula Skippy is an easy car to jump in and get going, with a gradual learning curve around its road tires and minimal aero dependance. The car gets trickier to drive at the limit however, with very little in the way of rear tire slip grip when you do get into trouble, and not much front end if you do come in blazing hot, manhandling the steering wheel is a must to extract every last milisecond; shadowing the characteristics of the real Skip Barber academy car. The low power and torque output however means that both wheel, mouse or keyboard racers alike will be able to handle the car with reasonable ease.



Other attributes include low tire wear and heat cycle, low aero wash disturbance and notably, a higher-than-usual fuel burn rate from its inline-four powerhouse, which will mean fuel strategy and refuelling will definitely be an option for most races, as the car behaviour is noticably different with low to max fuel load.

Think you can come out on top? Join us on the 12-race season starting 25th January 2025!

But the transparent panels still sting into my eyes... If most of the transparency can be seen only from underneath the car,the one just under overroll bar is well visible all the time,would look bad on livestream. I reported that in mod's thread,unfortunatelly modder did not react,maybe you can reach with suggestions.
