Cars:LRF
LX6, RAC & FZ5: Much like the TBO-class, but a bit faster. All cars are rear drive. The featured cars are very different in terms of horsepower and weight. All are in the range of 250-310bhp/ton. Some favour acceleration and handling while others top speed.
LX6
| Сокр.: LX6
Front engined, rear wheel drive Мощность: 142 кВт (190 л.с.) @ 8402 об/мин Передняя подвеска: Double Wishbone Take the LX4, swap the engine for a 1.8 litre inline 6, and you have the LX6. So what's the big deal? It's a touch heavier, has a slightly more balanced weight distribution (due to the heavier lump up front) and, most importantly, more power. It's trickier to drive, so if you've not driven an LX style car before the LX4 is a better starting point. Since the LX8 has been canned, this is the fastest LX style car available in LFS at the moment. Setup tip: These cars need a fair amount of understeer in the springs to keep them controllable. Don't go silly with the spring rates though. Low tyre pressures are needed. Keep the diff as open as possible on the power side and reasonable well locked on the coast side. Some rear toe comes in very handy here. |

Mid engined, rear wheel drive Мощность: 183 кВт (245 л.с.) @ 5906 об/мин Передняя подвеска: Double Wishbone Really existing prototype of a sportscar from Finland powered by a mid-mounted turbocharged Saab engine. Hard to be driven on the limit. See the project's website. Setup tip: The lack of rear antiroll bar can make this awkward to setup. Don't put too much understeer into the springs or the car will push too much. No need to go silly with the front antiroll bar either, although a healthy amount is still recommended. Keep the suspension fairly soft too. |

FZ50
| Сокр.: FZ5
Rear engined, rear wheel drive Мощность: 269 кВт (360 л.с.) @ 7563 об/мин Передняя подвеска: MacPherson Strut This is the fastest road car available in LFS, favoring top speed over handling. Its high weight, high power and rearward weight distribution make for an challenging, yet entertaining drive. Go take it for a spin and make those tyres squeal. Setup tip: Doesn't actually need that much understeer. Heavy engine braking is the main issue, so most importantly have the differential very tight on the coast side to help with off throttle oversteer, and move the brake bias forward to help stability under braking. Also, along with BF1, FZ50 is the only other car with traction control. |
