Question about origin of racing in games and sim's

Cellentrop · May 15, 2020

Hello everyone! I don’t know where I can ask this specific question, so sorry for the possible offtop.
So basically, here's the deal: is there a mod or a game (preferably with good graphics) which presents race cars and tracks of the 1910-1920s? I know only about "Mafia", but there are cars of the 1930s

Assetto Corsa has a good few race cars and some tracks from that era. I think rFactor 1 and 2 would also have content like that. Basically you need to find sims that allow mods, which is AC and rFactor for the most part.

Yeah, thanks. I've found 1923 Sunbeam for AC, but nothing for rFactor 1or 2.

I wait too for the origin of the car and race, and here at RaceDepartment I found a mod that isn't ready yet, but promisse to be the best mod, see: Pre-WW1 - Vintage Car and Track Mods (1769-1918) https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/pre-ww1-vintage-car-and-track-mods-1769-1918.232893/, hope you enjoy!

There is a 1928 Mercedes SSK for rFactor by BigBen, but I know of nothing earlier. There was talk of a mod for the original Vanderbilt Cup races of 1904-1910, including the Long Island road circuit (30 miles of paved and unpaved public roads), but apparently nothing ever came of it.

Post WWI was great time.
Sim based on Brooklands with authentic conditions and career I would buy.
If it went well you just need to ad period DLC circuits, I have 3 in mind. lol

About twenty years ago there was "Spirit of Speed", which got extremely mixed reviews. I picked up a copy a few years ago but could never get it to run in Win7.
