Wombat, you can get rid of the LM70 mod if you still have it and install this instead!

Based off of their work for F1C, the guys from CSGT, ported these over to rFactor, a much better job then the LM70 mod.

The McLaren and the Lola are part of the CAN-AM mod version 5.5 which can be found here-

Try them on any version of Riverside, but watch out if you give them too much throttle too quickly, you'll spin like a top,lol The M8 has several engine choices in the upgrades, the highest Hp version is a massive handful!

That's because it wasn't in the original conversion! I asked around at another website if someone would concider doing it, and they did!!!!!!!!!! Its never been in any of the other conversions either. Once loaded in the sim, and you are ready to test it, go to the garage and reset the suspension settings. 585 for front and back makes for one stiff ride,LOL Its like a jet powered brick at those settings. Also, (I'll check for a link) get the version of LeMans for the 60's or 70's(No chicane on the end of the straight). See how well the cars handle at the end of the long straight, at top speed, they can become very loose.
Not going to show any pics of myself trying to make that turn, its not pretty!!!!

The Mk IV, plugs right in. Just copy it to your installation, no need to edit anything, if you have the mod installed, its not a stand- alone car.

It was eddie.
Turned that 600E into a canoe, with a little extra assistance I hasten to add.
I've dug up some negatives from the race, will post them shortly.
Long story short: I was running my [almost brand new] ANF1 Elfin 600E Waggot in the 1969 'Gold Star' round at Sandown Park.
Doing rather well, actually leading the small engined class, when I hung it out a bit too far [I always prefer a 'taily' car!] and collected a gentle nudge from behind.
Shipped the car back to Elfin for a complete rebuild and headed back to Vietnam for my third tour, it seemed to be the safe option!
