1. 1 This mod has EIGHT different cars with eight different meshes graphics and physics People who are running with slower machines MUST expect slowdowns and poor performance Obviously the less cars you run with the faster your machine will run 2 The original cars all have specific spec maps for each car If you want to create new personal cars and paintschemes you MUST use the lt carname gt _GENERIC folder for each make and use one of the cars in that folder as a starting point Using cars from any of the other team folders will cause your car to be given a spec map that was created for a specific paintscheme thus making your car look weird 3 This mod has been run in DX7 DX8 but extensive testing has not been done If you have problems with running cars in DX7 DX8 sorry We don t plan to fix it VEHICLE DYNAMICS NAGT has some of the most comprehensive physics found in any rFactor mod and because we have engineered realistic geometries and working suspensions this can be demonstrated with the use of the RealFeel plugin We won t show ALL of our cards but we have modeled all aspects of the GT cars from aero to even internal friction components 1 UNIQUE MENU SYSTEM NAGT comes with its own menu and spinner However it has been designed to not overwrite your current menu and spinner so if you decide to run another mod just select it and the next time you restart r2. t s been such a long time the North American GT Championship by RaceSims Revolution and The Pits NAGT is for rFactor http www rfactor net and is a simulated touring car champion ship based on the SCCA Speed World Challenge GT series This has probably been one of the most notorious mods of all time it s been Rnown about for years feared dead for almost as long and resurrected time and time again with more fives than any cat There have been more people involved with this mod than could be imagined and sadly even some people who are no longer with us but joined the team way back in the day Had someone told us that it would be almost three years from conception to fruition we probably would have never even started it Both RSR and The Pits got the idea for a World Challenge GT mod at about the same time and after a little negotiation between the two groups it was decided to combine forces However it was not to be so smooth for the rest of the trip People on both teams were getting tired of modding plus some occasional friction and as well people just disappear ing caused the project to slow to a crawl Everything imaginable was thrown in the path of the mod How it ever got completely finished is due purely to the tenacity of the RSR and Pits teams that they decided that the mod would be completed no matter what And finally soon is HERE IMPORTANT NOTES
3. Factor you will be back to your original menu While each car is unique and has its own personality all 8 cars are consistent across in approach and realism Included with the menu is the fact that NAGT will store replays and screenshots separately from the rest of your files so you can select them easily We utilized as much data as we could get from real racing teams engineers and tire experts Please be aware that there were a few features that we could not incorporate since they are driver selectable functions for example the Mustang is allowed to use traction control and anti lock brakes these are not allowed on most servers and cannot be implemented on a per vehicle basis CUSTOM SOUNDTRACK Thanks to Dave Grunge Peterson Deathlok and inTransformation we have some great music for your NAGT experience If you like what they ve done please thank them and support them in their fu ture endeavors NORTH AMERICAN GT SERIES SNACI TIRES The spec tire of SCCA World Challenge GT is the Toyo RA1 It is a shaved treaded DOT tire in various sizes but in one compound only There is no Hard Medium or Soft and all teams are required to use the provided tire A Sticker brand new tire will have very good initial grip but if not properly heat cycled will then fade fast have poor grip and not last a 50 minute race A Heat Cycled tire is a tire that has been run hard

10. ld racing racing in the SPEED World Challenge GT does not consist of being at the 100 limit what we simmers call hotlapping for 50 minutes A typical race begins by fighting for position at the start then settling into your race pace pushing for position or to make up time as necessary Real racers value their lives and the considerable expense of their equipment and have mechanical sympathy for the car and tires to make sure both will last the race As the race winds down the final push is on and most will put in their fastest race laps at this time as the fuel weight has burned off and hopefully the tires have plenty left Much effort has gone into simulating this Be smooth be consistent and use your head ASSORTED TECHNICAL RULES Gearsets Each car is only allowed one transmission gear set and 2 3 final drive ratio choices by the SCCA Pro Racing rules That is all every car must work with what is allowed Ride Heights SCCA mandates a no less than 3 inch minimum static ride height However just be cause you can set a front or rear height to 3 does not mean you should Bottoming any car is not ideal and running out of suspension bump travel is also not ideal PIT STOPS A pit stop is a rare event in a 50 minute SPEED World Challenge event only happening in the rare case of an emergency And if for some reason a stop is necessary there are limitations on how many crew are allow
