*Some minor visual bugs.
If you find any serious bug, please let me know.


Started in 2011, the Civic Cup has grown steadily since its formation to become a must-see event at any race meeting it visits. The Civic Cup enjoys big budget features and lap times on big grids, but with clubman entry fees and running costs.

Based on the iconic Civic Type R, our cars offer incredible performance with tightly...

Really neat, thanks! Couldn't drive yet, but just looks wise it could use some texture upgrades, especially in the cockpit. Hope you'll keep updating it, I love cars like that.

 

[Morimaru]

Thanks to you mate. I'm still working on it, making more skins actually. Textures and materials need to be improved, same as 3d vertex smoothness and some minor visual bugs needs to be fixed. Sadly, my time and 3d modelling knowledge is very limited , but I`ll try to do my best.

 

[Maxstrong01]

Having also the FN2 it will be great. I tested the car and I am loving the handling. Great job

 

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

of course a lot of cars are built on the same chassis as the Abarth.
so it's an Abarth 500 AC with vtec, though it's not always a bad thing

 

[GTAce]

Soooo custom physics needed. Hope someone will jump on board.

Yep, I´m not hard modder into suspensions and tyres, so base physics are from the 500, basically I change inertias, weights, divetrain, engine and power graph. The way the car handles
matches quite well with my experience onboard a modified EP3, and laptimes are very, very close to the IRL Civic Cup but not 100% custom physics, sorry.

Anyway, if some experienced modder can help, would be great.

 

[Morimaru]

I'm on contact with Civic Cup driver Dave Buky, if he can send me some suspension info concerning coilover, ARBs and spring rates, maybe I can study EP3 sus geo and learn some things to translate into AC engine. It will be one of my priority plans towards the future of the mod.

For now, I will keep skinning...

Morimaru updated Honda Civic Type R EP3 Cup with a new update entry:

Assetto Corsa Civic Cup EP3 0.42

List of 0.42 changes

-New real life skins and driver profiles. (Up to 16 skins)
-Corrected car parameters.
-Aero, suspension and tyre physics update.
-Updated materials.
-Offline Championship added, based on the 2019 BRSCC Disklok Civic Cup (Real drivers, real championship scoring, real race duration and start time, real weather conditions, 15 drivers + player)

Read the rest of this update entry...

 

[Morimaru]

I've received some help from a modder since I`ve posted 0.41 version, concerning suspension, tyres and aero of the car. Hope you like the handling, personally I feel it so close to a modified EP3 on track, visceral, nervous and with that lively rear. Laptimes in similar conditions are very close to real ones also.

Waiting for one of the IRL Civic Cup drivers to test it and return some feedback.

 

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

It's definitely important of you feel it like the car you drive. Sometimes people make "better physics" for cars and they end up not feeling good at all compared to a real car.

 

[Fanapryde]

For CM to record driven distance in the car, you need to change the car folder name to
honda_civic_ep3_cup (not Cup).

 

[Morimaru]

It's done, thanks! Changed in file.

 

[Morimaru]

Data got corrupted when CM packs it. If anyone download the .zip and cars make a pit after the first lap, please download it again, it's fixed.

The previous name of this cup was Tegiwa Honda Civic Cup, is it?

The previous name of this cup was Tegiwa Honda Civic Cup, is it?

The Civic cup is organized by the British Racing and Sports Car Club (BRSCC) since 2011. The original main sponsor was Tegiwa and the series ran EG, EK, EP, FN Civics, even some CRX. But 2017 and beyond only K20 factory engines are allowed to make it more "close battle"... Limited to EP and FN/FK Hondas.

My mod is based on 2019 season, sponsored by Dislok, plans for the future includes skinning 2021 seasons and beyond and insert FN2 Civics (wip). My idea is change the 3d model of the EP3 for another more accurate, but no candidates atm.

Thank you for the detailed feedback

I dont mind offering some help with textures, window names and fixing the sunstrip if you like?

Hey Chris, thank you so much!! ATM I'm working on refining car mesh, modelling full race interior and exterior parts, which will imply drastic changes in UV mapping, so the texture work... to be done when this is finished.

Hope can finish the 3d work as soon as possible, to start working on updated liveries from this 2021 Civic Cup season.

Take your word with the sunstrip and glass work, sure will need some help!!!

Regards!

AC is really missing these kinds of cars, really looking forward to your improvements!
