Caliber Corvair S-AD1
I made this build a while ago, it's based on @RivalStormy's design i found on the website; 1930's style racer with some aeros on, oscillating arms suspensions on all corners, engine at the front, traction at the back.
It likes to slide and you will eventually have to countersteer after bumps, it also likes to understeer on the limit of grip at high speed corners so you can tell where the limit is without spinning out hopefully.
The car is fit for both asphalt and offroad racing given its ride height, as long as you provide a very responsive driving on bumps; it's been featured in @BagelPlane's Multiplayer Rattlesnake Race video and heavily tested on Rattlesnake Racetrack, where it did better than expected; the car has also been tested on Gold Prix, Mirage Speedway and the Yeager-Bandit raid across Krakabloa's canyons
Hope you have fun with it :)
Note: this car was based around analog controls, so you might prefer those if you can choose between keyboard and a joypad or a flight yoke; that's the reason why throttle is based on reversed Pitch axis and steering is based on Yaw axis, you might want to change those
