European Renault Clio Championship Mod Preview

OK, here we go! This is going to be one of those F1C mods that should offer exceptionally tight racing and thrill those who love this style. Anyone who has seen real races from this series should be getting very excited around now! For those who haven�t here is a little background information to bring you up to speed:
� The cars have a 24-valve V6 engine producing 285 hp, electronic accelerator and a 6-speed sequential gearbox, allowing them to reach 210 KPH on the longest straights
� The series is renowned for its fantastic close racing and guaranteed mayhem!
� Equal cars and large grids make for some nerve wracking racing

CRDT are pulling out all the stops to make this the most complete Clio mod it can be. They plan to paint all 31 cars and retexture many of the 10 tracks of the season. With all this work for such a small team, its no wonder they are being very sketchy as far as release dates go, but they gave me late 2005 as a probable release time (although I think it may be slightly earlier than that).

The current completion of the mod is just 5%, but in that 5% is an almost complete � and very nice - model, all 10 tracks (but many need work), and 1 painted car. They plan to rework the model to reduce polygons to make an FPS boost (nice to see they are thinking of us �CPU challenged� racers!).

With the aim of this mod being a balance of sim and arcade, mixing with the close racing/crash friendly nature of the series, I rate this mod certainly as �one to watch� and if CRDT pull this off, it could certainly jump to the top of my list of single car mods. As you can see from the pictures bellow, the model is very promising, so graphics wise we certainly shouldn�t have a problem. Lets just see what they can do with the physics and AI�

Can't wait Here in holland we have got a cup called ID&T Renault Clio Cup. It's not as good as the european cup, but it is good enough to get an impression of the cars. :D Can't wait
