When we talk about a concept car, we often talk about notes of intention, test for future products, a vision of what a manufacturer has in store for us.
And in all these proposals, designers seek to reinvent an identity,
to draw the next faces of the brand, with the consecration that the concept car becomes reality, in the form of a working concept or a line that will be found for years to come.

But when Renault, in full promotion of the Renault Espace in 1994, joined forces with Matra to celebrate the Formula 1 success of Renault Sport,
no one was ready for a racing minivan. And it was in this collective hallucination that the Renault Espace F1 was created. A concept car out of all automotive common sense and surprisingly efficient.
At the first look, it seems like a chimera assembling a 1995 F1 engine under a Renault Espace bodywork actually reveals a terrifying machine,
offering nearly 800 horsepower in the form of an atmospheric V10 engine with an antique Formula 1 feel. Sprinkle this base with a Willams FW14C rear suspension and Venturi Le Mans suspensions, and you'll get the wacky but real definition of a minivan doing 0 to 100 in 2.9 s.
This is a very high center of gravity that makes every turn dangerous.
A Formula 1 "hidden" in a van, which has only had two public outings in the hands of Alain Prost and Jean Ragnotti, remained in all memories by the madness of his principle, and also by his hallucinating performances in Gran Turismo 2.

However, this mythical machine is experiencing a rather surprising renaissance, in the person of Franck Galiègue, presenter of the Youtube channel "Movie Cars Central". When the latter does not present its latest findings in terms of of automobiles used in Hollywood movies, he secretly reconstructs a copy, certainly with some adjustments, but which retains the same madness as the 1995 proposal. If you want to see by yourself if the Espace F1 is a collective hallucination of car manufacturers,
or a unique attempt to marry two automotive logics that were never destined to meet, so turn on this engine and sound the 10-cylinder bagpipe behind your seat. No other vehicle will give you this feeling.
Drive the world's first ever virtual Espace F1 created from high-resolution 3d laser scans, taking realism to a whole new level.

Not an easy project given that the real car ran so little IRL. It's a decent attempt but I hope it gets a few fixes later. Brakes are too weak, FFB clips pretty badly, otherwise it behaves roughly as you'd expect.
cool man , good job and goes on to improve it!
Excellent travail ! Le véhicule se comporte bien et est très amusant a conduire. Hâte de voir le compteur marcher

I like it, a really fast car, feels like a real car. Only problem was steering, quite strange and heavy in slow speed, after the session my wheel lost connection so I had to reboot my PC, maybe some steering setting is bad?
j'adore, mais il y a cependant des choses à revoir.
-la boîte est trop longue (réduire la vmax ou nous laisser régler en fonction des besoins aéros)
-les freins me semblent un peu faible
-en vue intérieur il y a quelque chose qui est dans le champ de vision en haut à gauche et qui gêne un peu

sinon la carrosserie et le son extérieur sont magnifiques, et finalement le véhicule est plutôt facile à prendre en main, il ce conduit bien.

j'ai hâte de voir les améliorations que vous allez apporter
(par contre c'est un v10 et pas un v6 comme dit dans la description ;)
It's a good start, but needs more detail work. Keep it up :)
Le son moteur est trés bon, pour le reste il y a beaucoup de travail à accomplir, direction dure comme du béton, fait énormément trembler le volant. Physique totale à revoir. Compteur ne marche pas

les suspensions sont réglées comme le vrai normal qu'elles soient étranges, le centre de gravité de cette voiture et très haut. Pour le volant je peux améliorer ça ou vous pouvez baisser la dureté du force feedback. Les compteurs sont pour l'instant non fonctionnels mais les futures versions auront un compteur fonctionnel.
I love it .. just complicated to manage the weight but I love it
