<p><b>New page</b></p><div>With the close of the /ovgtp/ season, its time to start deciding what mod will be run for ovg's third [[rFactor]] season. Below is a shortlist of mods we could potentially run, links to downloads and videos, and pros and cons of each mod. If you have an idea for a mod that should be run, feel free to add it to this list, but please keep these points in mind:<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
-Mod is based on actual cars (don't put 'miniville' or some shit).<br />
<br><br />
-Physics are at least driveable/believable. Most of the time you're not going to get super 100% realistic physics and thats okay as long as the mod is driveable.<br />
<br><br />
-Variety of cars. A 'Spec' series would be fun as a support series or for pick-up races, but for the 'Primary' series most people want a variety of cars to run.<br />
<br><br />
-Balance. If we need to make a fuel or tire tweak here or there, that's fine. But let's not have any mods with hugely unbalanced cars (i.e. Simtek BES)<br />
<br><br />
<br />
Over the coming weeks and months, it is highly encouraged that everybody try out the following mods (and other mods not listed that you think would work for /ovg/), and make your opinion heard in the thread.<br />
<br />
=== Enduracers SP3 1.1 (Vanilla) ===<br />

<br><br />
+ Variety of Cars, especially with the release of SP3.<br><br />
+ Cars are already balanced. Experience with the current season already tells us what needs to be tweaked and where.<br><br />
- We just ran this, most people will probably want to run something different.<br><br />
- Large install size. <br><br />
? Could possibly open this up to all four classes, with classes open for anyone to run whichever car they want (no "qualifiers").<br><br />
<br />
=== World Endurance Series 1.1 ===<br />
2014+ ACO/IMSA LMP1, LMP2, GTE.<br />
<br><br />

+ Cars are slightly easier to drive thanks to higher downforce.<br><br />
- Physics might be shit.<br><br />

<br />
