1955 Lancia-Ferrari D50

Description
The very fast and very unlucky Lancia, but very lucky Ferrari. This car was made to adhere to road, with limited skills it is advisable not to overdrive it. With great skills you can overdrive it moderately. Please be careful with setup, controlability responds very sensitively to it.

Lancia D50 was a jewel and apex of Lancias "D" program. The design was led by legendary Vittorio Jano. The car won F1 championship in 1956 driven by Fangio, and credited as Ferrari although design was still majorly the same. Ferraris further modification of D50, largely modified towards traditional way, was named 801 and it was not successful. However Ferrari 246 of 1958 also still had a lot of D50 design, and it still had Jano as tecnical director, 246 model won championship again, also remains last front engined car model to win a race in F1.

Mod version 0.6

This mod is focusing on 1955-early 1956 car. Before Ferrari started modifying it more.

You may check upgrades for:

-Englebert tires. They perform worse that Pirellis, but they are easier to drive;
-Experimental AWD drivetrain which Lancia made and tested.

Big thanks to:
-Tetiana Andronova. For making base low poly car which was good for me to start modeling car further from.
-ThomasJohansen. For providing excelent gauges graphics and white needles.
-Svictor. For working out complexities of pulsing tachometer and making customisation tool for it. Also for helping out consistenlty.

I deleted our converstation from comments, John. But I am leaving a link to your league, so I wouldn't forget it. Maybe few more cars will happen, lets hope so.

In the league where I race, we don't modify anything and I dare say we are a bunch of decent and fair race enthusiasts with a lot of fans for historic racing (Sim Racing Online) https://simracingonline.co.uk/
We would very much like to see an authentic historic 50s F1 mod like yours. rFactor 2 is missing that. Understand what you're saying. If we would see 2 or 3 cars more by September 2025 that would be great. Profiding you have the time :) Thanks for sharing your work!

You are very good at this. Fantastic car and FFB.
Are you planning on making more F1 1950s cars so we can have an online series?
