Ferrari 196S Dino

Wow this beauty deserves to be in LM55 mod     




Cheers

Gorgeous motor... hope you can find someone to do it!!!! 

I agree ! There're many Ferraris still left to do that we can use in GTL.

Have a look at this 246 S Dino from 2004 Le Mans Classic:

I agreeeeee!!!  

And so cool that you couls have a two-fer-one as the 196S is very close to the 250TR (non-pontoon fendered). With some minor tweaks, you could have two amazing Ferraris! 

I was doin some lookin and if someone were to do a 750 Monza, its almost identical to a 500 Mondial, swap in a 3 liter V12 and change the hood and you have a 250 Monza, with a little stretching, a 6 cyl engine and some minor tweaks, it could be a 121LM. A 500TR with a few changes becomes a 500 TRC and bump up the CCs and you have a 625TR. With three basic Ferrari cars, we could have 9 sweet Red gems in our garages. Cool!

Sounds sooo cooool Rain m8... let's hope someone who can do mods will try it!!!    

Unfortunately, at this moment, I don't believe someone is able to do something about these Ferraris.
Anyway, we have for now, some very nice Ferraris, or Maseratis from the 50's, at least!!

Yes, we certainly do...but it never hurts to hope  

The beauty with his sister



Enjoy

I basically did all that in the GTR2 mod I'm building---all accurate physics and a number of new Maseratis too.

Whip...You're my hero! Hurry, I'm dyin here...lol
Thanks man

Did you see the 335S that sold at auction for $34.9M? Whoa! Nice

That sounds excellent Bill m8... Wahoooooyeah!!

Well--the problem is permissions---I definitely don't want any recognition for the modeling as they've come from everywhere---probably 80period cars of different configurations but all the physics have been redone--except a couple I thought were very close to what I would have done.

as example of new cars---Ferrari 335s--625LM---412S---860Monza---290MM
                                     Lotus 11--Lotus 15
                                     Maserativ150s--200s---350S

as well as a few historical variations of standard models.

It's a whole kettle of trouble and mud-slinging to release it as all the cars came from Here--There and Everywhere. As proud and happy with what I've created it may only be done by very selective PMs when it's ready.

AND IT'S NOT READY so don't bug me yet----lol

If someone has an input or suggestion about this I would like to hear it. I love this sim-racing community and really don't want to offend anyone.

Releasing them on a private site is not usually a problem Bill as long as you make people aware of the issues and mention all involved with the mod if you can.

Thanks Gordon-----I will think about it but as a friend you will definitely get a link

Stay well Buddy

WHIPCRACKER: I would love to see your hard work as well, when you feel it is appropriate. I appreciate all that modders contribute to an old man's memories.

Heya Bill, I'm glad I'm not the only one to alter engine and drive chains in old cars, I recently finished 'Bastardising' the MKII Jags from 3.4 235hp - 3.8 Coombs (unfortunately no vented bonnet) 290hp, making each car slightly different (HDC), I realise that they should not match the big V8 cars but I'm a bit patriotic when it comes to Goodwood Revival and we can't allow the Americans to have it all their own way.
I have no modelling or skinning skills so there are no changes there, it's all just words and numbers and... Obviously these are purely for my own entertainment.

I, like many others would love to see the end result if you can eventually show it.

please link download ? many thanks

What would you like to download, the video???

May I too please have a link, I can do the test driving if you like, thats all I am capable of ...
