Vehicle mod: CHADERRELE2J Details page: https://www.lfs.net/files/vehmods/E4FA97 SHORT DESCRIPTION: Quote :Chaderrele 2J DESCRIPTION: Quote :yo u wanna go fast but ur stuck in the 70's and need some wacky fancy loophole using big boi fans from an old U.S. military tank making it S U C C the ground and throws rocks to the people behind you to make you zoom quickly? i think i got just the vehicle u need. [DISCLAIMER: the engine kinda wack tho irl and dont hit a kurb. seriously, don't.] History: The most unusual Chaparral was the 2J. On the chassis' sides bottom edges were articulated plastic skirts that sealed against the ground (a technology that would later appear in Formula One). Two fans adapted from a military tank engine were housed at the rear, driven by a single two-stroke twin-cylinder engine.[5] The car had a "skirt" made of Lexan extending to the ground on both sides, laterally on the back of the car, and laterally from just aft of the front wheels. It was integrated with the suspension system so the bottom of the skirt would maintain a distance of one inch from the ground regardless of g-forces or anomalies in the road surface. The skirting produced a zone within which the fans could create a vacuum producing downforce on the order of 1.25 to 1.50 g when the car was fully loaded (fuel, oil, coolant). Tremendous gripping power and greater maneuverability at all speeds were produced. Since it created the same levels of low pressure under the car at all speeds, downforce did not decrease at lower speeds. With other aerodynamic devices, downforce decreased as the car slowed or reached too much of a slip angle. The 2J competed in the Can-Am series and qualified at least two seconds quicker than the next fastest car, but mechanical problems limited its success. It only ran in the 1970 season, after which it was outlawed by the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA). Although originally approved by the SCCA, they succumbed to pressure from other teams who argued that the fans constituted "movable aerodynamic devices". Sanctioning body FIA had banned such devices beginning with the 2E. There were also complaints of debris generated by the fans damaging the following cars. McLaren argued that if the 2J were not outlawed, the Can-Am series would be ruined by its dominance – something McLaren had been doing since 1967.[6] A similar fan was used in Formula One eight years later on the Brabham BT46B, which won the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix, but the company reverted to the fanless BT46 soon afterward due to concern for a rules violation. The car was later deemed to have been within FIA technical specifications. 3D model by Daniel Zhabotinsky Texturing, driving characteristics by Ysan1 (me lol) Engine and sound by martin18 upcoming updates: reworked interior smoothening reworked suspension, downforce config with rear blinkers for cruising purposes COVER SCREENSHOT:
