Many of you will be aware I've been trying to get these raced for some time now - well now's my chance
For those who haven't driven (or heard of) Formula Easter cars they are a Soviet Formula dating back to the late 1960's- essentially the Lada powered equivalent to Formula Ford except they were allowed Slicks and Wings.
They may not be powerful but they achieve very good lap times and make for fantastic close racing
All cars use the same 4 speed gearbox and 1.3l Lada engine with the various manufacturers then free to build what they want within the rules, given that nearly all cars from the period were built in garages the engineering done was fairly unbelievable if you compare the Soviet budgets with western race series!
All car makes in the mod lap at pretty much the same speed, but to simplify things while I learn my way around the server this race only uses the MTX1-03 cars.
You'll find a big selection of them on the server due to the way this car mod was designed - they're all the same physics but have different wheel designs. Unfortunatley this means the setups are saved in different folders for the different car variants.
I recommend learning where the setups are saved and copying what you choose to run with between all of the 1-03 setup folders for incase your choice is fully taken on race night.
If successful I'll plan a further test race using all of the cars and allowing people to choose cars/paint jobs to ensure I get that right if we run a series.
