F5000 mod for rFactor

Sunday, November 07, 2010
Having owned and driver an F5000 open wheeler (1969 Lola T142) I am personally looking forward to getting this mod happening on the full motion VisionRacer and cranking the volume up.  These cars a light, powerful and dangerous.   The safety factors now in modern cars did not exists so that added to the thrill and focus of getting one of these beasts around a track.  The acceleration is lineal and imagining you have an egg under your right foot is very true.
