This chassis is made for super sportscars, hyper sportscars, GT- and Le Mans racers.
It features a long and wide wheelbase with big tyres and lots of traction. On the front and rear it has splitters for downforce (they are wing panels modded in the XML to create downforce instead of lift).
The chassis has rearwheel-drive and each of the two wheels is powered by it's own 1000 HP engine, which kind of works like a differential, as the wheels can have a different power split this way. All heavy things are built around the center to place the center of mass pretty much in the middle of the chassis. The fuel-tank carries 142 gallons of high-octane fuel, so you should be good even for longer tracks.
I have gone with a different suspension design on this to make it more simple, more stiff and also less glitchy. Keep in mind that this wouldn't work in reality, as the shocks would be bent due to the sideforces. They normally have to be on some form of joint, while the suspension arms keep the wheels level. So, do not try this at home! :D
Total weight of the car should be between 10000 and 14000 lbs. I found 12000 lbs to be the sweetspot for handling. Topspeed is around 275 MPH.
Throttle is controlled with pitch input and steering is controlled with roll input.
I hope you can make some nice cars with this. As it took plenty of time to build, it would be nice if you gave me credit in the descriptions of the builds you make with this.
Feedback and suggestions are appreciated.
Cheers! :)

@aircraftarsenal123 Sure, they just have to be mounted horizontally. If the large top and bottom sides face into the direction of movement, they will just increase drag a lot.
Oh ok. Does the down force effect happen even if the wings the wings are attached facing forward rather than sideways? @BRuthless
@aircraftarsenal123 Yep, I know that. Thanks for the tip anyway. Most of the time I use flat bottom wing panels and change their orientation in the XML, so instead of lift they provide downforce with speed.
To make even more downforce, you can attach wings like you would normally (sideways) and use fine tuner to angle them down slightly (1- 10 degrees depending on how much downforce you want in a given area)
@BRuthless I've put a 5000 HP engine in it and I'm still trying to make it work
Here is the replica I gave u credits @BRuthless
@BRuthless I called it the island with a race track four I don't know the name of it but on Yeager runway I managed 425 mph
@Smasher I know the racetracks, that's what this one was tested on and made for. They don't have long straights though, so you can't even max out the speed. With any more speed and acceleration, you'll just fly off the track. :D
@BRuthless there is a island with a race track !!!
@Smasher Wasn't intended as a drag racer or a salt flat racer originally. :D I mean, I don't even know where to drive that around in SP, lol!
@BRuthless Its hard to make a replica, so imma gonna make a fictional LMP vehicle
@BRuthless its done just look for 000 Race Chassis RC-TR02 mk 2 it's even faster than before
@BRuthless plus one upvote is easy says
@BRuthless I think I can make it a hell of a lot faster I'll need to keep it low to keep the center of gravity I might of just read all my engineering from books but I still think I could pull it off
@PancakeAddiction Sure, that's the reason I uploaded it. :D
Can i use these chassis to try to make a replica? I'm gonna credit you for the chassis
