For the final event of Fantasy June, we head to the National Layout of a magnificent track - Magnificent Park - to race one of the greatest car mods to even grace the original rFactor title. The 1979 Formula 1 season had some of the most iconic car liveries of all time racing in it, and it was a season of upheaval, as teams all discovered and started to unlock Ground Effect properly. Lots of grip (and hopefully not much porpoising), tied up to some superb names too. Enjoy the ride!

As a bit of a different race, there are lots of different cars with different performances. As such, let's have an eclectic grid where you all choose your car. Please choose one of the cars which has not been chosen.
These cars have different physics and overall speeds. Feel free to test them beforehand before making your choice. I am listing the cars in the 1979 Constructors Championship finishing order to give you an idea of the pace they had. If you are a "faster" driver, please may you choose one of the "slower" cars, as a way of balancing the field a bit.
