Thanks for sharing, sucks about the hard drives 
Can I ask what is the status of the physics?
Cheers

not everything properly done, we never received any data from the guys in UKThanks for sharing, sucks about the hard drives

so some things we guessed
some others are from the 1700 / academy
the base is solid though, and the behaviour seems coherent and on top of that, enjoyable
i'll probably spend some time later to redo some existing skins of the past season
till then here is the templates

the body is just the dds with black alpha channel to take the color from metal detail (if you want to quickly change color)
you can check the existing skins to get the idea
stickers are made of mesh planes, using another texture, you'll find on existing skin, white or black depending on your skin, or transparent (check carbon car)

Sounds are from the Praga r1 (yeah, a car from kunos, never heard of it before right? Lol) but they are a good match I guess for this car. Sometimes kunos managed to do good job in the sound department
because it has sequential shifter with manual downshift (no auto blip)I can't seem to be able to change gear with my h-pattern, only with the paddles. H-pattern is selected in CM controller settings before anyone asks
Any ideas?
D'oh!
Didn't even think to check if it was sequential, I just assumed the shifting animation was for H-gate.
Silly Billy!
Thanks.
I guess it shouldn't have auto blip for downshifts from the way they drive it, you can see heel and toe action there
it's an easy fix though

Does the race version have different tyres to the car as replicated in AC? I'm struggling to match lap times of the race cars. I noticed a couple of the YT videos I was using for comparison mentioned a "qualifying tyre" but I tried matching a Brands GP race lap and was still off the pace. I checked my top speeds at Brands GP and Thruxton against the RL videos and was slower at both so perhaps it isn't tyre related.
nothing is final on these caterhams so it could be anything.
@Andy-R hard to say indeed.
we planned to make the 420r to 1.0 early next year, so we'll try and match lap times, check tyres, etc.
This makes no mention of a qualifying tyre so not sure what those comments were about on YT. Some useful part info and numbers so worth a read through if you haven't already.

Hi, do you know.. if I changed this locally and on my AC Server folder, would this allow anyone with a H-shifter (that had also made the change to the ini) to race online?I use my H-shifter, and it's awesome!
If you edit the drivetrain.ini in the data folder you can change
SUPPORTS_SHIFTER=1
This will allow you to use your H-shifter - thanks Ben for including the data folder in the .zip
online requires the data.acd
the data folder with all the ini files open is only for solo purposes
the servers online check if the data.acd of the client is the same as the server in order to be accepted
solution would be to compile a new data.acd with the supports_shifter=1 and that all your client have that same file on their drive
Since a lot of people have been asking about the shifter, even though it's official regulation, i will make a s1 version with manual, and data.acd all that all good
Hats off to @Ben O'Bro for including the manual shift option It's one thing to create a mod as accurately as you can, but it's another to purposefully make it less realistic so that us users can enjoy it more
Thanks again for this awesome mod - it's definitely my 'have some fun / track day' car
