Third-party Palatov D4 (Hillclimb AWD) Now Available
The D4 is an evolution of the Palatov Motorsport modular platform. It follows the design of the first prototype Palatov dp1, and shares most components with the more powerful Palatov D1. A version of this design was entered in the 2012 Pikes Peak International Hillclimb and took first place in the Unlimited class, with David Donner at the wheel. A replica of the 2012 PPIHC livery is included with the rFactor 2 version.The design goal of the D4 was to put as much power as possible into as small and light a package as possible, while still being able to use it, and still provide a high level of safety. The Hillclimb configuration is the ultimate D4, with over 350hp in a AWD chassis weighing just over 425kg. Even the base Trackday configuration is still potent, with over 170hp, packaged in a car that weighs slightly more than 400kg.
Despite the light weight and small size, the D4 is designed to share the track with much larger cars, and is overbuilt for a car of its weight class.

Third-party project by PALATOV MOTORSPORT LLC & SLOW MOTION GROUP.
Mr. Dennis Palatov provided a lot of data and advice to ensure best possible correlation in the sim model vs. the real car. Much testing has been carried out on virtual circuits to compare data and performance with the same circuits of the real world.
To further facilitate this we built a private version of the Oregon Raceway Park Circuit, where Palatov Motorsport conduct most of their real world testing. This has enabled direct comparison with logged data and video from the real car.
We would first like to thank Jonathan Frost, the Palatov Motorsport Factory Pro Driver, who will drive a supercharged D2 at the upcoming Pikes Peak International Hillclimb in June, 2015.
