Bit short notice but just found out I am available this week. It’s a 30 minute fun race in great cars on a great track  :)
A taster/test for a possible historical Can-Am series

@Pete, could you pop this on the server? Gives us today/this eve for some practise.

Hi guys!
Not tryed this combo- waiting for tomorrow.
But downloaded and see 2 cars in files pack. Both cars are the same and will be allowed?

Cars are slightly different but seem to run similar times. That said I don't know which one Mark wants to run.
Baggsy the Ice Cream truck if we're running both  ;D

baggsy huh, that takes me back a long time  :D

I'll have a 99 with sprinkles...

Take whichever you want, I don’t know if any performance advantage with either  :-\
This car is ace in a rift  8)

Everything in AC is good with the rift, big shame about ACC. :thumbdown:

shame there was no practise server up, but I did some offline practise and had a race against the AI.  A grid of these is like Days of Thunder  :o 8)

1:24.0 for me so far (chevy). Once you get the flow of the track and which corners to coast into, it all comes together nicely.  :) Takes a few laps though to get the gist.

Ai, thats short notice indeed. I have a football match against my sons team tommorow night, so probably i'll be home fairly late for this one. Hope i will make it in time to get everything installed properly.

Better late than never, What ;) Should be up now.

thanks Pete  :)

Sorry,  I'm gonna have to miss his one, havn't even got the car or track installed yet and I'm worn out for the day...

I keep getting a checksum error and booted  ???

You're probably running an out of date car.
Download the latest version - happened to me too

I think Kimi is on

Could not wake up. Slept too sweet  :)

Enjoyed that, a good combo  :) The Lola is a lovely beast to hussle about and sounds amazing  8)

Only 6 plucky souls raced but it was short notice. Times were pretty close in qually.

Had a steady race in 3rd,  not quick enough to stay with fmg and Fabri, though I could see them ahead for most of the race, and with Jari keeping station about 5 secs behind me.
Finished 3rd with no spins   :)

So do we know if these car are

MKII 427 Ford?
MKII 305 Ford?
MKII 333 Chevrolet?
MKII 359 Chevrolet?

or something else? Doesn't matter pick one?

not sure Pete, not got access to the folders whilst at work. Cant you peak into the technical folder for the cars?

From the web:-
As with the Ford GT, a large capacity American V8 lay at the heart of most T70s. Though Ford units did feature in some examples, Chevrolet power was most popular. The 5-litre-plus Chevy units generated over 500bhp, but were defined by their torquey, progressive power delivery. Lola also dabbled with Aston Martin engines in ’67, but a disastrous Le Mans showing put an end to the all-British partnership. The T70 performed best when paired with American muscle.

I'm asking because LM2 has these choices for the cars and it'd be best to get the right ones or get Dave to create more.

Not sure what you mean by "technical folder", the readme files don't make anything any clearer

Had a free wednesday for once so tried the Ford and hopped on the server. Unfortunately Kimi spun at the end of lap one and we collided. Lost touch with the group ahead so dropped back to let kimi catch back up. We had a play for a bit, but I kept missing the upshift from 3rd to 4th for some reason, and eventually broke my gearbox. Nice cars to drive though. Congrats podium.

Btw, engines are:

Ford 289 (4.7 Litre)
Chevy 359 (5.9 Litre)

Funny and friendly cars, easy to drift too.
I had few times to test cars, given the race announcement with little notice. I intended to take the Lola Ford because she is lighter. So I took a few laps with her. But then I tried the one with the Chevrolet engine, and her sound excited me. Chevy has also more RPMs. So I took this.

I had the pole, but at start I was on outside part, so I lost the position. However I didn't worry much, I thought I had some chance of overtaking later.
I did the whole race chasing fmg. I think my car (Lola Chevy) was a little faster. Surely she was on the straight, where, using the slipstream, I could recover at least 3-4 tenths. It doesn't seem to me that my greater weight caused me problems in the corners.
In any case, I was never able to get closer to fmg to try something, I simply always followed him at 1-1.5 sec, throughout the race. So there was no battle. Just 2 cars close going often in a gentle drift.
I think that my car has more potential, I was only not able to push well.  :angel:

Car is not hard to drive, also near edge. The most dangerous thing is exit from pit lane, cause the huge and useless torque. It would be nice to see how she handles with a European engine, maybe with a nice Italian V12.

Who knows if that Lola is comparable in laptimes to some other prototype in AC (mod or not)? I tested something, but no idea of laptimes here.

The only sore point, the ugly animation of the arm during the gears-changes.

I'm 90% certain these are all from the CanAm 66 mod for GPL.

From the description in the readme the Chevy is the 359 (5.883l to be really pedantic), although it puts out less power than Surtee's car supposedly did, then again he was the only one to really tune the thing so we can consider this car to represent the 'best of the rest'.
The Ford isn't specified, but many displacements were used - given it makes 429Bhp it's most likely to be a hard tuned 305 at that point in history, the 289's weren't tuned that high very often back then as they wouldn't survive the 2 hour races and the 429 that did run in 66 only had 2 gears...
It uses the GT40 sounds though so you could just call it a 289 and be done with it ;D

Very nice cars to drive, the Chevy's exhaust note is fantastic both in the rift and through my HiFi when watching the replay on the telly. I'm going to have to find something good to replace the poor Ford sounds with if we use these in a championship. I seem to remember Fonseker did a GT40 set so I might try that and see how it sounds.
The race against Fabri was hard work, we were achieving pretty much identical lap times, but the cars were noticeably stronger in different bits of the track.
I spent the entire race driving as hard as I could to reach turn 5a with a decent enough lead on Fabri that he couldn't challenge at all there. That allowed me to take my preferred late entry into 5b (Moss) onto the back straight carrying as much speed as possible as I knew the Chevy powered car was so much quicker - If Fabri got close enough it would be impossible to prevent him passing me.

A good race, I'm sure people would enjoy these if we raced them in a CanAm based series.

I will install this and give it a run soon (and post some feedback)...   definitely not against a series of this if they're good

Definitely NOT the Ford 427 Pete :)

Doh  :'(
