Downloaded and installed, now to decide which car I'm going to drive first..!
The 512M, 312P, Matra 650, GT40, Porsche 908, 910, 914, 911 or even the mighty 917...? :jump:

The JW Porsche 908/3!!!!
:applause:
A little dissapointed to be honest, the handling idiosyncracies of the cars is too exagerated (the 911s are just way off!) and the modelling is a mixed bag, but it's worth the D/L and some tweaking.

Slightly disappointed here as well, but you have to keep in mind this is a conversion of an old mod for one of the EA F1 sims that were released in 2000-2002. The sounds are great, and the number of different cars is amazing (But where did that Chapperal go?) . The cars are as fragile as the real things were, but like you said Wombat, the physics might need some tweaking. I tried the 917K at Le Mans 1970 and the car just lifted off over the hump at the end of the Mulsanne straight!

The Ferrari 312P was a lot of fun to drift around the Toban GP track, and the Healey wasn't bad around the long 'Brianza' track. By default the cars seem to understeer a lot though. The AI seemed to struggle with the hairpin at the end of the Le Mans straight, all of them running off the track there. The 908/3 is a nice addition compared to the previous versions of this mod, and others like the Alfa 33/3 and Matra M605 are still very much favourites of mine. Hearing that Matra V12 howl brings me right back to the days of GP Legends.
