CrossPly has released a first public version of his Lola Z70 Spyder mod for rFactor 2.
Based on ISI’s fictional Howston G6 car, the mod brings both the MK1 & MK2 version of Lola’s popular historic sports car to the simulation.
Changes to the Howston G6 include:
- Extensive graphical changes to accommodate the Lola T70 Spyder body. Most of the geometry assets have required changes of some sort to make the body fit, others have been remade from scratch. I???ve tried to update as much as I can to bring the car up to the standard of the later ISI cars, with various levels of success???
- Split some upgrades (most notably wings) from the original ???Model??? selection into individual upgrades. The effect of this is that wing options can be changed so that a Mk1 can have Mk3 level front or rear wing fitted and vice-versa. Based on my research this better reflects the historical reality of the way these cars raced. It also gives some additional setup options for drivers to choose the setup that suits the track they are racing on, as well as give some more variety in the AI field.
- Fixed the AI ???always short of fuel??? bug.
Powered by a 5.7 liter Chevrolet V8 engine, the T70 was a popular sports car in the 60s that competed in endurance racing events around the world, including the Le Mans 24 Hours and other legendary events.
