Thanks Alexey but sounds like it could be a lame duck. I will install it and give it a try with the Kunos DTM cars. Most of the reviews were good to be fair, just complaining that he kept updating it  But think it has a base cockpit so not so good for us Rift users. |

The Reviews thread is always has a good or very good feedback. It's a RD tradition and it's good  The Support thread is always has a more objective and more true info for mods and it's good too  |

I just tried out the Ginetta mod and it is fantastic, so realistic. Will make a great spec series with these, high end mod Also tried the Caterham Academy car, again another great fun car for a spec racing series. Nice controllable power and caterham handling, great quality mod Also tried the same authors 420R race car Caterham. As the academy but more grunt. Only prob with this car is he's left the source code open (could cause cheating? - can we lock this out?) and at present only support paddle shift (but this can be tweaked in the drivers.ini I believe to give you stick shift). Car model looks superb. More ammo for future series  |

I prefer that than Accademy version for design and it is also a bit powerfull. These cars are cool in slow and narrow tracks, like Montecarlo. |

Car model looks superb. More ammo for future series Ginneta's used to be epic - haven't tried a recent build in a while now though. Caterhams are good, but none of them are spec'ed close enough to my old Westfield to make me happy. They're either too fast or too slow and they all have the wrong number of gears!  As for the Sierrra, it drives like an 80's/90's turbo Ford. Goes like stink in a straight line once on boost, but feels like you're doing hard cornering on a pogo stick. In other words it handles just like old 500's I've seen at classic events still do The cockpit isn't amazing, but we've driven far worse mods in the past without anyone caring. Only thing I haven't done with it is a back to back against/with the other cars yet.. |

any clue as to where the sierra can be chosen from in game? I installed it and can see it in my content/cars folder but it doesn't appear under 'ford' in game nor anywhere else I could see  Just tried a grid of the dtm cars at Oschersleben (this track took me back to early GTR days!) , forgot how great they look and sound, plus the handling is good fun  |

Sure you've put it in the right place? the 4 variants will appear in the ford section in game.
The zip folder you downloaded will have 4 RAR files in it - sure you haven't simply put those in your cars folder?
They need to be unrar'ed and then dumped into the cars directory

i didnt install all variants, i took the dtm rar out and extracted that to my cars folder. I can see it there (un-packed) so no idea why it doesnt appear in game. Maybe it needs all 4 rars installed  |

Ginetta's are good, I enjoyed them at Core and I should have a nice setup for it, unless they are changed.

This is a new Ginetta mod, improved over the early version. Really feels like a good Kunos car with improved engine/transmission sounds. It was developed with bonafide Ginetta race engineer input i believe. |
