The International Manufacturers Championship '67

[IMC '67]

Yet another Targa race of mine that ended in tears...

The black smoke looks great but I will have to improve the colours of the flames.

 

[IMC '67]

I thought it could be fun to post a pic of one car from each of the 56 different car models for the next 56 days.

Note that my improvements and modifications to the cars are more or less WIP.

Continuing with a different Corvette model, the beastly cool looking Grand Sport with its hood attributes and widened rear wheel arches...

Denman/Brown • Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport • Daytona Continental 24 Hours

I've read in a Daytona race report article that the car was considered a bit dated by 1967 and I will definitely make it a handful to drive.

Added pennant chains and some BP flags to the Targa Florio pit exit area...

I've not played GTR2 for a good ten years now but had to stop by to say what an amazing feat this is. Kudos to you and everyone involved, glad to see Borek's work being brought to a good state.

On to the letter F with the first of nine Ferrari models in the game...

Le Mans blinding sunset...

[IMC '67]

Bandini/Amon • Ferrari 330 P3/4 • Daytona Continental 24 Hours

And now having its own unique steering wheel based on the real 1967 car:

 

[IMC '67]

Scarfiotti/Parkes • Ferrari 330 P4 • 24 Heures du Mans

 

[IMC '67]

Attwood/Courage • Ferrari 412 P • 24 Heures du Mans

 

[IMC '67]

Schlesser/Gregory/Gregg • Ferrari 365 P2 • Daytona Continental 24 Hours

 

[Davide Nativo]

The Dino 206 is a car you virtually never see in simracing, yet it interests me more than a P4 let's say 'cause it's a car I would actually be able to drive and even push maybe

 

[IMC '67]

Yeah, I too really like to drive the little Dino. I've always heard that it was inferior to the Porsche 906 but it was actually really competitive speed wise during the 1967 championship by beating all the works Porsches at Daytona qualifying and would often qualify in the middle of them on other tracks.

Piper/Attwood • Ferrari 365 P2/3 • Daytona Continental 24 Hours

@IMC '67 mate you suggested setting a value of 100 for composure in the AI talent files if I remember correctly. What about 'courtesy', which value are you using? And for aggression level in game?

 

[IMC '67]

Not 100 but 1.0 for Composure. I don't have any Courtesy line in my talent files and never heard of it. Or did you mean Consistency? If so, I have it set to 1.0 for all drivers to somewhat compensate for the AI losing time due to not being as efficient as the player in lapping slower cars. As for aggression level set in the game, I'm using the left most option (can't remember what it's called in the original GTR2 game).

I'm pretty sure this is the actual spot in the game for the incident although the low wall here is only a sidewalk curb. Note also the identical diamond shaped pattern for the house window as well as the "NINO" writing on the wall.

ah yes sorry, 1.0!
'Courtesy' is a line present in rFactor and I was sure it was there in GTR2 too but I must remember wrong, apologies. It seems like 'Composure' is enough to warrant much better behaviour over lapping slower cars though.
