INSTRUCTIONS:
Extract the contents into your rFactor folder.
NOTE: THIS MOD HAS ITS OWN VEHICLES AND UI FOLDER DUE TO THE CUSTOM SPINNER/INTERFACE.

TIRE CHOICES IN OPTIONS:
DX7 users can only have silver rims by making sure their driver has a file called "drivernameRIMS.DDS" in that cars folder (for example TracyRims.dds, copy it from there if needed), and then choose a black rim tire option. The material name for the silver rim options is drivernameRIMS1.dds if you want to be thorough and make both.
DX8 and DX9 rim colors will show fine in the spinner and in game. You can copy a rims file from the 05/06 mod if you want custom colored rims.

STEERING WHEELS:
Single on-track lap times means only you are allowed to be on track if you want to see your name on the wheel, no other AI cars. This is the only way to get the steering wheel to show your name on the wheel without distortion.

Boost 2 is reserved for simulated Push-to-Pass and will burn up your engine if you use it constantly.

CONVERSIONS OF THIS MOD TO ANY OTHER GAME OR GAMING PLATFORM IS PROHIBITED WITHOUT PERMISSION!!

Thanks to Motorsports Simulators for their continued support, ISI, and all the friends we have made along the way. We do this in our spare time because we enjoy the creative process and contributing to the community. Please show your support by contributing in some way.

v1.1 patch: fixes omni lighting, fixes suspension bug, fixes liveries, shortened rfm name, pace car drivable, and adjusts physics slightly. PATCH MUST BE INSTALLED ON A 1.0 INSTALL UNTIL WE GET A 1.1 INSTALLER. TO INSTALL: COPY FILES TO THE APPROPRIATE FOLDERS AND OVERWRITE.
v1.2 fixes sparks and physics.

If you dont like it, stop using it and quit whining. Its not our fault your rFactor install is a mess and wont run the mod. Works fine on a clean install of rF. Nobody from iDT died or passed away and we are doing just fine. The spinner was included so you could experience what the game would have been like. If you dont want it, dont use it or modify it for yourself. Tire wear was accurate as of 2007 lap figures.

no need to change the mapping, it should work fine with "temp boost".
Dougrun on Aug-15-2011

Hey, the profile says push 2 pass is available. So I went into the car setup and changed the "Boost Mapping" to 2. However, no matter what I do I can't seem to activate P2P even with the Boost at 2. Does anyone know how Push to Pass work in this mod? Any P2P help/advice would be greatly appreciated

Ergo, I think this was the last mod iDT made, and if memory serves me correctly one of the driving forces of iDT was stricken with cancer and passed away sometime around when the mod was released.

It never seemed to have been finished. There were some issues with the spinner that the team never solved so for it to work the vehicle files had to be isolated. The tire files were also in desperate need of tweaking as they wear out way too quickly. Otherwise its a fabulous mod once its installed correctly.

I revised it such that the cars were added to the 2005/06 mod and fixed the tire and AI issues for my own use. I don't use it anymore as I run FSOne 2009 in a league and don't have time for it.

This mod sucks!!! It does not work. If you select this mod in the rfactor menu, rfactor just crashes.

And again a IDT crap!!!!!!! Please stop making mods.

HE MOD DOESN'T WORK WITH THE SPOTTER PLUGIN!!! I delete my SpotterPlugin.dll and it works

I may have a solution for you guys. It worked for me. I'm running Windows vista.

In the .rfm file(champ07.rfm) you find the following rule: VehiclesDir=GAMEDATA\VEHICLESCC\

change it to this:
VehiclesDir=GAMEDATA\VEHICLES\VEHICLESCC\

Now the champcar mod should work with vista, xp en windows 7.

Imagine a 700 HP Turbine in an Indy car..........

Some time back I played with this mod a bit creating engine.ini, gear and sound files based on a "small" GE turbine. No shifting. A ton of low end torque as in feather the throttle very softly under 100 MPH.

I forgot about the "update" I made for about a year and tried it again this AM. What a hoot.

I don't have permission from iDT so it won't be released, but no question about it; this mod is probably the most fun I've ever tried.

That got me thinking; with F1 talking about either a gas turbine or a 1.6L Turbo for 2013, who would be interested in trying something with a gas turbine?

Might be a worthwhile project for the Formula IS......

BTW lap times at Indy and Long Beach are on par with the real cars. From about 30-100 MPH you can't floor it without spinning the tires.
