Howston G4 and G6 v1.2 Released Bit of a late night, short post upcoming... Profile - http://rfactor.net/web/rf2/rf2dl/howston-hg4-hg6/ Download - Link Mirrors will be added tomorrow/later today (right now the mirror on the site is my dropbox). Getmod will NOT work until tomorrow/later today. There's some screenshots on the cars profile page, I'll add them in other locations later. There's one issue related to the clutch, it will slip when up-shifting results in improper mismatch of revs, this will be in-place until the new drive-line model comes online (no ETA on this). The Howston HG4 and HG6 are based off the designs of the Lola T70, a successful racing car from the 1960s. In 1965 and 1966, the T70 was the fastest race car in the world, and at that point could outpace a Formula One car. It boasted stable, predictable, handling along with blinding acceleration. With a pedigree from the Ford GT40, the Lola T70 was tested and developed by World Champion John Surtees. Though designed for endurance racing, it had much success in sprint races, due to superior handling. It is generally considered to be the car which advanced an understanding in racing that increased drag could be an acceptable penalty for increased downforce. The T70 went through many configurations until eventually changes in sporting regulations made the car obsolete. This post has been promoted to an article

Il team ISI ha appena rilasciato una nuova doppia vettura addon storica per rFactor2, la Howston G4 e G6 in versione 1.2, replica della mitica Lola T70 che affascinava gli appassionati a cavallo degli anni 60.

Historic Content Coming to rFactor 2 Even though we love the 1960s cars in particular, and have licensed a number of vehicles including Dan Gurney’s Eagle-Climax/Weslake Mk I (T1G) and Eagle Mk IV (Indy car) from that decade for future production, we’ll also be including the Mercedes-Benz W196 (including the streamline body) and the 300 SLR sports car from the 1950s, more modern F1 cars like the 1984 Ayrton Senna Toleman TG184, and even the 2003 Bentley Speed 8. rFactor 2 will be a fantastic platform for fans of both modern and historic racing for many years. Cars you can expect soon: Howston G4 and G6 (as shown below, based on real life Lola T70 specifications) and the AC Cars 427 (Cobra). Though the Howston will come much sooner of those. Assieme all'annuncio è poi presente un contest a premi per realizzare alcune skin per le due Howston: trovate tutti i dettagli e i link necessari nel link iniziale, in fondo alla pagina.
