Cars What are those cool F2 cars I see in mods being worked on?

I always like to keep track of all the great mods being worked on, but I happened to see one that may be released Dec 19th? Maybe ? Stereo they look great BTW, not even sure there F2.

Late 60's Formula Ford (I can't wait to unleash its virtual horses!)

I love a good lap time comparison so I have been trying to find some times for when the mod comes out but not having much luck. I did find this which could be Formula Fords but not very useful for AC

2:18.9 on Silverstone GP (aka the whole circuit) -> https://ff1600website.com/2018/06/16/cameron-jackson-takes-charge-at-silverstone/ they're still racing this class so there are times on lots of modern courses. YMMV mostly due to tires though, each regional series seems to pick one that's got a local supply.

IIRC there are 2 common groups of 1600, pre-1982 and post-1982 due to one of the 1982 chassis dominating by so much it changed the game (has the essentially current very long arms, skinny nose inboard springs).

I guess they are slightly up on power compared to back in the day as well. I'm surprised there is so little info, I tried searching for Lotus 51 as well as FF but no joy.

Still modern times are a next best thing, I'll have a look for some more

I have too many cars with the Alfa sound already. I tihnk I will convert mine to the AE86 Tuned (if the sound reaches high enough rpm) and failing that the Escort sounds, although I'm not really a fan of the Escort sound in AC.

Hmm... E30 M3 Group A or DTM, will have to test those as well
