Audi RS3 LMS TCR 2024 preview build 0.9.1

When I released Elantra, people were obviously asking about next TCR car. I said that I didn't plan doing more, unless some good oportunity appears. And it did. I discovered very good quality 3D model, released for free under creative commons license. Finaly I was able to use my already finished physics for this car, which was used for ComToYou Racing private mod.

Audi TCR is based on the same platform like Cupra Leon Competicion, so both cars are very similar and share a lot of common things, like the engine, gearbox, almost the whole suspension, interior parts. But there are some small differences. Audi has slightly different ARB configuration options, and its center of gravity is slightly more in the front than Cupras. Rear axle is configured differently as well. It might feel a little more planted.

This mod is not fully finished, but from technical side everything is working. The mod has LoDs, working animations, couple of skins from TCR Europe and TCR Eastern Europe, working launch control, working lights, wipers, its fully rain ready. For now I used the sounds from my previous Cupra version, because both cars have the same engine, but in the future I will try to get proper sound mod for this car. I have some big plans with my friend Fabricio (CorsaMode), but we need to wait for next season to record the proper samples.

Of course, this mod is fully BoPed to Elantra and Cupra (versions 1.1), so now you can enjoy more variety in your TCR races. This car will be added to the LFM TCR rooster next season, stay tuned!
