infos

  • Designed and built the 963 to join the 1970 Jundroo Le Mans... A high top speed was vital and ti achieve that most of the racers actually produced lift, making them lethally unstable... Using the Delworks 22T snow mobile engine, all the air was sucked from underneath the car, creating a low pressure area, so the 963 was literally sucked to the ground... by that time, the Delworks 22T engine had already failed... Delcom skipped 5 races to futher develop the car... sadly, the vacuum engine started to act up again, and due to pitting several times, the 963 eventually finished the race in seventh,

    This is quite nice, I'm actually starting to get into cars now.... it's actually a lot tricker than I thought it would be, I only just now managed to figure out how to pair mechanical steering with suspension..... it's a to harder than it seems

    Our car here used a mixed suspension type @SuperSix which is a mix between Torsion Bar and Leaf Spring... the wing and the detacher part were used to simulate them, hehehe

    Dude, what is your problem @Deadly8Nightshade ? Lmao, If it looks like Chaparral Cars then most of the cars at the actual time does looks like Chaparral Cars XD. We designed the car by our own, except the "sucking" idea which inspired by Elford's Chaparral 2J. And a proper suspension, does it always need to be a spring? Then the Leaf Spring existence is useless,

    Nice. Sadly you didn't add a proper suspension to it ( I know it can have some stability issues)
    Probably upvoted it because it looks like a chaparral. Hmmf. Anyway.
