the title says all,

i was really surprised to find out from LFS credits (when you exit the game) that the RA is a real car, and yet it looks really good in real life i have to say, well photos says a thousand words, so here it is taken from the offical site






nice g25



does everyone else know about this as well or is it just me?

No, we get the "Raceabout is a real car ZOMG!" threads once every couple of months, so it's not just you.

nice it is a good looking car anyway, sadly its also too hard to drive in LFS

IMO its (my? ) only failing is that I can't seem to brake and turn it at the same time very reliably, same goes with braking downhill. Other than that it's quite nice to drive IMO. Oh and I don't like the turbo, but who does.

Get rid of the understeer and it's lovely. Trouble is, I've only ever once got rid of the understeer, and I can't remember which set up that was with

The "deflated rear tyres" one

Ah yes, I too only found out about the RAC from LFS. I think this is the reason we have the Raceabout in LFS, so it becomes famous

Wiggle the tail to steer. Use the pendlum effect of the 60% rear weight and you dont need any setup tweaks.

I sorta want a RaceAbout now!

It's not in production. Shame when Finland hasn't ever produced a decent car with enough made to need a crash test ever :P

darn. How much were they sold for? Maybe I'll save up for a F430 (not)

"They"? "Sold"? lol

I knew the raceabout was a real car from reading the description of it on the www.liveforspeed.net website, but in the game its ugly as hell. Those pictures dont look to bad, and niether does the car, but im still waiting on a real life rear end picture, because in the game, its super ugly.

Also, does anybody know how to change the dash from red to like, black or dark gray? In options > display, theres stuff that says like FOX dashboard color, and stuff.... is that what its for?

its the colour of the dials/readout from the dashboard

btw, in LFS the raceabout handles like a kipper. imo.

2005 version
2002 (LFS) version - #2

Just look at http://www.raceabout.fi/

Car is prototype, I think never intended for production. They are making electric car from it next, that is something I would like to see in LFS together with Tesla, could be nice battles between those two and also LFS would be future ready

yeah, i'm wonder if improvements will be made on the performance of cars in the next incompatible patch for lfs

There is a raceabout in LFS?

What?

And whats the stuff where it says like "FOX dash color" etc. in the options > display area?

The T1 of Westhill is by far the scariest corner in LFS when you are driving the RA. However, RA feels good on tracks like BL1R, it is just so much slower than the competition... RA is the RB4 of the LRF class. Fast in rallycross, not suitable elsewhere

Pff, no way!

I can eat an FZ50 alive on the twisties with an RAC!
