Westin Racing F-speed

Auto Credit Based on LowtusF139's FModular Challenge

a what if 60s indycar


history

In the mid 60s indy car took a turn from front engine roadsters and turned to a more F1 style rear engine car. Most teams within the next year changed over to these much faster cars and started the advancement of the sport. By the mid 70s aero packages were getting bigger and bigger and with the allowance of turbos speeds would continue to rise. This example is around 1967 with minimal downforce generators, but does come with small front sideburns, some sealers on the sides of the pods to help trap the air under the car, and a small defuser out the back. Almost all grip is mechanical and provides speeds upwards of 200mph.


controls

Pitch- throttle
Yaw- steering (change if you want, was easier to map this way for mobile)
No special ag groups


builders note: This is for Lowtus' f modular challenge and i feel like i took a more unique approach by going towards an indycar market. Back in the day the first mid engine indycar was a lotus F1 car that they copied and changed minimally to fit a bigger V8 in the rear. This was a pretty fun project but kinda forgot about it and just wanted to get it out before the deadline. I dont expect this to be the best entry but i tried my best to make something unique and hope i succeeded. Enjoy!


keep looking to the stars

    Design: 8/10. I personally don't like skinny cars, but since it's Indy, having a thin car for less drag is essential
    Originallity: 5/5. Everything is different, and I love it!
    Details: 5/5. From the front S-Duct, the side inlet to the exhaust piping. The most detailed by far!
    Handling: 8/10. Utter smooth! Although the turn in is quite slow compared to what I did with the FModular
    Mod Smoothness: 2/5. Probably won't be the smoothest due to how low it is to the ground. I clipped an invisible bump when testdriving at Yeager Airport. My laptop's locked out in the safe (Fuck you, mom) so I can't really test right now, only on my phone with vanilla SP maps

    Overall: 28/35. By far the best entry of the challenge. And the only one that I like. The rest are just effortless, overpowered and lazy deprivates from bronze users
