Because we're busy ( VOR ) setting the schedules and trying to project which Sports Car racing series we'll running for 2006, a couple of questions have come up regarding the NAGT mod. And with the full understanding that you probably don't want say too much before the release, I figured there's no harm in asking.

1) From the preview video that was relelased it looks like the NAGT mod will include Vettes, Vipers, GTOs, Volvos and possibly a Mustang GT500. Is there a chance that it will also include a Porsche?

2) Would it be possible for someone to produce a new car model, such as a Saleen, Ferrari F430, Ferrari 360, Aston Martin DBR9, etc. or perhaps take a previously made model, such as the Porsche 996 from the PCC mod, and include it as part of a supplemental add-on to the NAGT mod?

Don't mean to be nosy... well sort of I guess, just curious.

Well Mike as you already know it is some what easy to add cars into mod by changing the *.rfm to add which ever car you would like. You already know that because that's what we have done for our Sports Car series that is coming up with the AusH6 V8's & the Porsche's. But say if you want to run the Porsche's & the NAGT mod there is no guarantee that the Porsche's will be the same speed as the other cars to be in the same class. You would then have to go and change the physics for the Porsche's to get them up to speed. But .... offically adding them, I don't think it would happen because it is called the NORTH AMERICAN GRAND TOURING Series, thats why I don't think you will see some of the other cars but .... thats up to the great MOD GODS to make the decision.

If they do end up doing that I would love to see the new Aston Martin DB9 that the Speed GT Series is going to have this upcoming season. Or even the AUDI's




Hope someone will give us a more "Official Answer".

Virtual Online Racer's Sports Car Series

While the NAGT mod is based primarily on the Speed World Challenge GT series (2005 season), there will be an exception or two included (Like the fact that there weren't any current generation Mustangs running in the '05 schedule but one will be included in the mod).

If you look through the information from the real series, you'll see that the Porsche 996 did run in the '05 season and that car will be included. There's at least one other car that wasn't in the '05 season that will be included in the set (I'll let the modeler from RSR who's working on it be the one to announce what it is).

So the answer to question one is that yes, it will include a Porsche.

For question 2, There's not really any way for anyone to stop others from adding additional cars. However we are going to great lengths to try and equalize the performance across the various makes of cars so that they are all competitive with one another. So any add ons by outsiders would either need to have a lot of physics tuning in order to be matched with the included cars or else they would end up with something that either out classes the rest of the field or that won't run with the rest of the field.

Still don't see a Duster in those screenies



Tell ya what...I'll trade you a Pits USLMRA mower for a Duster

Hmmm... I guess we could try painting a Duster grill on the front of the Volvo.

That's not very encouraging

We could always make a touring car mod that includes Dusters and call it TundraTPC

I'm leaning toward TTTCCWD (The Tundra Touring Car Championship With Dusters).

Then again, people might start calling it the Mel Tillis mod.

M M M Mel Til Til Tillis mod?

Yeah, the T, T, T, C, C, Dubya D mod.

It was a reach, I know.

Indeed

You've included a clip of one of my all time favorits there.

Scott; Thanks for the reply. I think that's going to make a big of difference to some of our drivers. We have a few that have become quite enamored with the 996 and its inclusion, along with Mustang and the mystery car, will help go a long ways to creating a more cohesive and unifying acceptance of the NAGT mod across the different league members who are more or less focused on different sims and\or other rF mods.

Kevin, I already knew the physics would not be the same, it couldn’t be. I wasn’t trying to ask about a combination of mods because we already know we can do that. That’s why my question was focused on the model(s) and not on the physics.

Thanks again Scott. I’m eagerly looking forward to the NAGT release.

Note that any vehicle in NAGT will have its own, unique physics.

We would not use anyone elses, for several reasons. Not the least of which, is that all of the cars in the series need some kind of balance, even if some of them turn up a bit slower than the others.

Any news on this Kick a** Mod

just info of the mod as i been watching Speed World Challenge pass years, is this mod going To be mixed with GT class And touring car?. or Like real life a touring car race and a GT race? - hope this is understanding

DBRS9 to compete in all 10 rounds of Speed GT in 06 season!!!

Any chance this gets squeezed into the NAGT mod? Or if it would delay things too much, a update/release sometime further down the line? Please? Pretty Please?
