Sharing this here before someome posts an ACTK link.
Originally planned to be based on the Gran Turismo model, this little car mod has been works since more than 2 months. At about halfway through the touching-up of the GT4 model I realized that it should have been scratch-made since that model is nearly impossible to be fixed properly (like a cardboard car), so I studied multiple car modeling tutorials on YouTube and started everything on the car from scratch based on a blueprint I found on the web. Please note that the model is still highly inaccurate (especially at the A-pillar) as this is my first ever scratch-made model of a car and the available blueprints are like 700x600 resolution and I don't want to pay about $30 for the vector.
Interior was exclusively made with photomatching technique except for the steering wheel.
As for the performance I had 110fps with my trusty old 1070 Ti on Tsukuba during hotlap on mostly highest settings and 75-110 in a 16 car race. Model is extremely high-poly as I can't model properly with low subdivision Levels Viewport and I like details so the overall triangle count is 1600000 which is madness. Still many many details missing because I don't have the talent to model everything. This is about the same polygon count as Gran Turismo Sport/7 models (no not even relatively close in quality lol)
On the good side though, 4 LODs take care of the relatively decent performance so hopefully you shouldn't worry about it. Car physics was supposed to be mainly a copy-paste of the Abarth 595SS back when I used the GT4 model but now from my understanding the car has accurate gear ratios, edited suspensions, fueltank, consumption, tyres and of course parameters. I ran 1:33 on Tsukuba (Best Motoring race record was 1:34)
Model is based on the KP100P R (1996-1997) version, and every skin made by me is based on a car you will find on the internet. You can remove the wheelcover and only leave the front wheel but it wasn't modeled to look like the models that don't have the wheelcovers on the front in mind. This car served as the main reference: https://toprankglobal.jp/stockdetail/32835/1997 Daihatsu MIDGET II
I'm aware of most problems/bugs but if you notice something, send me a DM on Discord (you can find me on ACFSK server), most notable bugs are the shadows, the wipers hardly wiping (let's say it's unique to this car lol), and the glitchy driver animations that has been made with Stereo's Blender rig. Please note that it's very difficult to get the driver model working properly since Kunos used 3dsMax and I can't even animate shifting in Blender so the driver is just basically shifting low in the air.If a modder who has the talent to do proper animations for the driver in this car, contact me, we'll sort this out
Want to use the model? Contact me and maybe we can talk about it!
Look out for a race version in the next update soon.

That's why I said I will share the original link here before somebody finds that and posts it hereIts already on his forum
Beez circuit is one of my favorite track, but a typical @Gilles75 swap job. The original he seems to use is a RFc1 track as can be found here at the B sectionAbout "Carrieres de Beez"... I think I threw it in the corner at some point. I'd have to see if I still have it on my HDD at all.
I think the last time I screwed with it, @Beezer215 pointed out to me that more than 10-12 cars just make chaos on the grid. That and some weird effects with seasonal config settings.... That's when I gave up in frustration.
As I just mentioned, it would have been easier to convert it "from the scratch" than to work on his s....... Sorry, the frustration had to come out.
But I'll see if I can still find it.
However, if someone has a good source for the original that I could convert, it would probably be the better and easier way. 🤷♂️

Are you perhaps able to cure it by changing the "Fake Shadows FX" settings? Or perhaps "Smart Shadows". I'm vaguely remembering (confirmed by search) @Masscot drilling down into this kind of issue perhaps a year or two ago.@RMi_wood thanks for the info, at least is not a problem on my side only for the moment.
Yes, i agree, at least i have this issue since the 180.1 (at least i never ever noticed before, but is almost impossible due to the visibility that it has)
@Fanapryde now that i'm thinking about i remember that i noticed a similar issue on the (Swiss track from GT4 which i don't remember right now) with newer japanese GT500 cars, where the shadow passes through the car on the jump. Maybe not the same problem, but more or less similar in how it appears
it has to be a setting then as I tried that corner multiple times in high downforce prototypes and nothing where in the 1.80p1 I could make that show. I will see what I can find out as I was one of the first to report that issue in p1 to the test group.
I believe I´ve already made this request, by I also hope that you give a try for Gilles Prince George some day. It´s the only vintage version of that track that exists for AC, but has so many problems in the lightning and grass. The asphalt was pretty bright too, if I was not mistaken.
That crossed my mind too, but I'm only using 2D cloud system.
Firefox, Chrome, Brave all the same. They requires you to login into PatreonNo, not true. Just use a different browser
You don't have to create a Patreon page when you register or set up an account, and I don't think I've been spammed because of it. I only get notifications via email for Patreons I've subscribed/contributed to, or are following. I think there's an account setting to turn that off, but that wouldn't make sense to do it.
@J3FFmaster @Vintagedriver can you explain what you found so funny in my post so i laugh about it too?
I know, is not that the point, i mean: you can't say i don't have to be registered (like @J3FFmaster mean) when in fact you have to in order to download. That's it. I don't care about registering or not
We have SX Le Mans, you don't need anythig else in order to enjoy Le Mans on AC
rF2 is laserscanned, but as said, the one we have is more than enough to enjoy Le Mans in AC imho. Then we will see when the FIA WEC game will be released how it will looks the whole championship on that platform
Here you go, no registration needed.@J3FFmaster @Vintagedriver can you explain what you found so funny in my post so i laugh about it too?
