Nice project! Are they street cars only?

I cannot recognize most of the tracks. I would like to know the track in second picture and from sixth to nineth (the snowy ones). There are familiar but I really don't recognize them.

Yes, only street cars. I couldn't find enough reliable information and pictures to make realistic race cars, and it necessited a lot more 3D work. But even with street cars only I managed to make 82 different HDC files for cars that were produced only from 70 to 77...

The tracks on the pics are :

1- Kuusamo
2- El Cubilete
3-4- Col de Joux-Plane
5- Shanghai street circuit
6- Lemalands
7-8- Monte Carlo mountain circuit
9- Longstone Pass
10- Kuusamo
11-12- Sebring

That's all for the moment

nice job, beau boulot
hey lad(salut, mec)
which mod are you using?
i'm a great fan of street cars
could you share your skins, so simple so nice...
merci beaucoup, Dugenou...

The base mod is from SRW, which is very very basic but has a good 3d model, I have reworked all the parts, added some from other mods and created all the rest.

For example the original mod only has one set of wheels, those in the first pic. I have added the ones I created for my R12G, the dozen others are brand new, I made them for the mod.

There is nothing to share, the mod is not finished, that's why I posted in the WIP section, it's just that the car was presented in Sept 62 and I wanted to post the pics before October to mark the 60th anniversary.

Well, for the small number of people who seem to be interested by this mod, a bit of additional info :

It comes from SRW and has been converted to Rf, not by me, I found it on GameModels. There is a readme but it's undecypherable, at least on my computer, the russian letters are replaced with some " àðõèâ âêëþ÷åíû èñõîäíèêè ìîäåëè â ôîðìàòå .gmt".

The 3D model is good while not too heavy, but there are lots of mistakes, for example, the car is mixing various years, it features pre-70 things with post-73 when it's most likely a 72 model. Lots of parts are too simplified (wipers) or simply missing (badges, sun visors, windshield washers, etc.).

The SRW car has not any single option, it's one model available in five different colors. Only the body has lods. It has 25 3D files and 31 texture files (plus the skins). In my mod, there is now more than 300 3D files (plus some unique files for certain cars) and more than 130 texture files (plus also some unique files for certain cars). There are lods for all the parts and many genstring choices for the different models and years of production, hence the number of parts. All the original 3D parts and all the textures have been reworked.

Some parts are reworked parts of other mods, many are brand new. The wheels for example. The stock "Bouillot" rim seen on the first pic is the one that comes with the original mod. I've added the Gotti wheel I created for my R12 Gordini, the dozen or so remaining wheels are all made by me especially for this mod.

The physics come the original P&G Alpine that I already reworked some years ago. I have reworked them again and they are a lot better now.

The new version features 11 different engine files (6 engines with their variations), 20 different gearbox files (5 gearboxes and their variations), 2 different suspension files and 2 different tire sizes. This makes a total of 82 hdc files. As I made 84 different cars, it means that all but 2 have different physics. The cars sharing the same hdc are three 1600SX, the last Alpine model, their differences are not in the physics but in the 3D. Be aware that there can be huge differences between models. A V85 with a close ratio rally gearbox will have a top speed of 110 Kph while on the other end a 1600SC with a 1800 engine and an adequate gearbox will top 240.

The Gr.4 cars are not real Gr.4 cars as I didn't find the exact characteristics for those cars, they are more like street cars with Gr.4 engines. There are no racing cars in this mod, for the same reason plus the lack of pictures and the need to make a lot more specific 3D parts.

The SRW mod has five different colors, all of them quite close to the real cars. In this version there will be every color that could be ordered at the time minus one, the Bleu Pervenche for which I couldn't find the exact color and didn't find the years when it was available. Other than that, all the genuine Alpine colors are there, plus a few others (mainly from Renault) that some customers required. One car has a color that didn't exist, the one with the tricolor stripe (but I don't know if I will keep it).

All the colors follow the year models where they were available, the same goes for the special colors, I respected the year in which they were ordered.

I did the same for the plate numbers, they all correspond to the year of the car, a 71 car will have a number given in 71. There are only French plates because the mod features only cars made at the French factory for the French market. No Fasa, No Dinalpin, no French Alpines with German, Italian or Swiss specifications, those cars having many different features, engines, lights, bumpers, gauges, etc.

The car is still WIP, 3D is almost complete but there are still things to be done to make a correct mod, so there's no need to ask for a link or a release date right now.

Très intéressant, bon courage à toi
Very interesting, cheers and thanks

TOP ! Super !

Just saw this project, wonderful!

By the way: nice to see you again, Eric, your skins were such a beautiful work

Great !

Doh! silly me, I saw the Heading and immediately thought "surely not, the Austin A110 Westminster (I clearly remember seeing in one of my 'Ladybird/Corgy' books of cars) is from 1954 making it 68 years old"

Then I scrolled down and remembered that the French used the same identification for their little Alpine
