18. Aug Update: One Car Preview released. The Renault Re30B comes in 2 variants. The earlier (with wing) used in the first 5 races, may be easier to drive on slow tracks. The later model used (without front wing), may be faster on fast speed circuits. This preview is released so we can gather data from people. all constructive opinions are welcome in our Development Forum.
The combination of technical and sporting regulations used during this season prompted many complaints about safety before and during the season. The season saw two fatalities and many serious accidents. The season started with a drivers’ strike at the first race of the season. Later in the season, the disagreement between the sport’s governing body and the teams re-started and many of the teams boycotted the San Marino Grand Prix.
The two main technological themes of the 1982 season were turbocharging and ground effect. The large automotive manufacturers could afford to develop the expensive new technology of turbocharging, which offered a significant power advantage over naturally aspirated engines. However, turbocharged engines were heavy and initially suffered from turbo lag, a delay between the operation of the throttle and the delivery of power. The Renault and Ferrari factory teams, together with the small privateer Toleman team, were the only ones to use turbocharged engines throughout the 1982 season.

This Historic F1-75 mod includes 22 teams from 1975 using 60 Cars in 28 different physics configurations. The mod also contains, Movie, Music, rFm, Sounds, Talent files and its own UI, plus 5 Extra Cars outside the Championship.
All cars have the same basic physics but are differentiated by different engines, drag and height of body mass and in some cases weight, which gives them all different behavior and performances.
The Ferrari is the fastest of them and it is about 20 kph faster then the slowest one, the BRM on the long straight at Kyalami75 with the default setup. But the BRM has got some nice handling and will give a lot of cars a run for their money on twisty tracks.

I had a glance at the WDC/WCC Championships while setting the performance of the cars, but I have also looked at starting grids/lap times and I have taken that into consideration too. Ex the Shadows was one of the fastest cars on the grid in 1975 even though it did not score a lot of points during the season, which was due to a lot of break downs and some driver errors.
As a extension of my Fiat Abarth 131 mod i will add some awesome 70’s and 80’s rally legends cars to the simulation. Rally Legends Mod will not overwrite the Fiat and will be developed as a open beta on Varjanta when it comes to a stable stage. This mod will be available for rF and later for rF2
The first cars that will be added are:
Lancia Stratos, Ford Escort, Toyota Celica, Fiat 131 Abarth, Renault 5, Peugeot 405, Audi Quattro, Lancia Delta, Peugeot 205. Maybe some more will be added later on
All cars will have 3 sets of physics, with their own schratch made suspensions and physics (Racing, Rally and Wet). Stay tuned for info and some screens
7th Apr UPDATE: Version 1.0 released fet: Lancia Stratos HF. As a lack of knowledge how to smooth normals other cars are postponed. contact me if you have such knowledge
v. 1.01 thanks to KittX for the supra like flares
10th Apr: Mod developmennt is paused untill i learn how to use 3dmax to smooth normals, if you have such knowledge and time to help please contact me.
We'd love to have you follow us! We try to keep every one informed of our latest endeavors and what-not.
