Hi Benjamin, you're right, we have noticed that we need to change the gearbox for a manual one with 5 speeds, and it will be available in th next upgrade! Thanks

Why do you choose a sequential gearbox because in reality the 208 cup are in manual geabox with clutch

This car is plain old fun to drive. I think the car feels great. I ran 3 AI at Winton for some test laps and it was a blast. I was finding it challenging to get the car stopped while trying to blip down shift on tight turns until I got a feel for the car. The steering rack feel is absolutely fantastic.
This is a perfect car for competitive low horsepower racing.Thank you.

(Part 2)

These compact cars of race are really very stiff, and we used a natural frequency of 3 Hz to choose the springs and dampers values. It's important to notice that the physics of this mod was made from scratch, all values were taken as close as possible from the real car!
Another point is that 208 has a very short suspension travel, which means that the "feeeling" of stiff suspension is bigger!

Thanks for your message!

Thanks @Denis!

Hi @Haris1977, the suspension of this car has a long long history! :)

(Part 1)
Rfactor 2 only deals with double-wishbone suspensions, which are not so common on street cars, so we have had to "simulate" the actual car suspension, that means McPherson on front and Torsion Axle on the rear! We created a new topology of the double-wishbone to give the correct behavior of the wheels traveling, and it's quite close to the real car. We are focused on the wheels traveling, and the hardpoints were the variables that we simulate on an engineering software to achieve our goal. Such as an optimization process we reach the position of each hardpoint that was inserted on the chassis file. It's was a long way to find out this, and we spent more time on this than any other modeling part!

This car has too much grip and has smth really strange with its suspension (too much stiffness?). Dunno. But i must say it looks promising!
