Thank you for featuring our mod Jimmy ! It's always fun to see how peoples react to driving this car :) There is a physics update coming in a few weeks, for the Renault (and also for the Nardi Bisiluro). We reworked the rear suspensions and tyres data. It will be easier to throw it in the turns and will suffer less from terminal understeer.

[@aojracing4885]

This video cetainly made me seek the mod out. Really enjoyed the Bisiluro, can't wait to try this one out!

[@Caddynars]

The Bisiluro is fun, though I noticed the steering on it is slightly off center. If I center my steering wheel, it leans slightly to the left.

[@nuggetmachinasworkshop1252]

The Shed cries as its master has done another hot lap at the Nordshcleife without it.

[@QALibrary]

In the 1970s someone took a gas-turbine-powered car to La Man's 24-hour race - when they had a race of champions/historic race someone raced it again - one big issue they found was it was a sitting duck when the yellow flags came out and then went to green - it took them half a lap or even more to get up to speed again

[@DjDolHaus86]

I think McLaren also dabbled with a turbine powered indycar

[@HexAyed]

Rover-BRM. It still exists today

[@purpaidh]

A bunch of these racing around one of the big banked ovals in the world would probably be a lot of fun.

[@south_carolina_man]

40 of these at Talladega Superspeedway. Let's make it happen.

[@F1Samantha]

Fun fact: my Great Great Uncle Ozzie was one of the people to retrieve Babs from Pendine Sands years later after it had been buried. My nan told me this and i don't think she quite realised the significance of that car/land speed record/Parry Thomas

This is the Etoile Filante ! (pronounciation guide : hay-twahl fee-lante) First time I see it in any simulation, always loved this car. By the way, the gas turbine in it (Turbomeca Turmo) was also used in the Puma helicopter, then in the TGV001 train prototype (before the TGV went electric), as well as several turbotrains that went into service.

[@kilianortmann9979]

How the hell did they boost this engine from 270hp in the little Renault to 1500hp in the Puma and Frelon.

@@kilianortmann9979 the one in the Etoile Filante was the first version (Turmo I) with very early technology, it was then improved with a twin-stage and higher pressure ratio for the Turmo II (560kw) in the 60s, and the Puma has two Turmo IIIs at 1150kw each. It was then adapted for turbotrains.

[@malinmac1]

If it's a turbo-shaft wouldn't it still need normal gearing and clutch?

@@malinmac1 I don't know the specifics of the transmission for this car, if anyone has info that would be nice !

Wikipedia says one of the designers of this car died in the 90s. The other one unknown, but assuming he’s no longer with us. Really cool to see their work live on in a way they’d never have imagined.

Jimmy!!! You should see how fast Hunt's title winning McLaren laps the Nords. Or maybe how fast Lauda's car laps the old nordschliefe. Or maybe that six wheeled Tyrell.

[@EZEmmitting]

So I actually know the guy in the "no steering wheel" bit at the beginning. His name is Jeff Diehl and he's a nitro funny car driver. Really chill dude and mainly only does west coast NHRA races with a few mid-west events if he can. Insane how he was able to keep the car controlled in that clip.

[@DJOlivia82]

Speaking about turbines, you should definitely try the Howmet TX, the first Turbine powered CanAm car, that was a true monster. Unfortunately, due to very costing development and reliability issues, the project got buried, but I guarantee it's worth a try.

[@paulocorreia2482]

This video made me realize I would happily watch a boring documentary with Jimmy's voice-over. The world is missing a talent.

[@ashleyhamman]

I knew as soon as he passed the bridge on the second lap and kept it pegged that he was going to rocket into the wall. Back when I played Project Cars 2 and drove the turbine indy car, you had to pretty much go on the brakes right around the crest and the bridge, and it could still be uncomfortably close.

[@-PYRROLINE-]

Amazing! Honestly! Next time I would love to see you ride a T-Rex. I guess this is possible in AC ;)

[@artoodiitoo]

A full online race in these would be something amazing xD

[@bertram-raven]

Jimmy Broadbent - More fun than a General Election.

[@sethmoyer]

There were way more turbine-powered race cars than one might expect, like the Lotus 56, STP-Paxton Turbocar, and one that Shelby made which never raced.

[@JDStoneCreations]

Doesn't look like anyone's mentioned the Howmet TX or the Rover BRM Gas Turbine cars. No mods for them as I can see but they're worth a look just to hear them run at Classic Lemans and the like!

[@tomanderson6335]

I'd love to see a Chrysler Patriot mod. Turbine power *AND* a flywheel hybrid system!

[@Pancake_12]

2:09 cabo fiba!!! :D

[@jamesmchenry4708]

I kind of love the craziness of '50s and '60s turbine racers. Just the optimism of the jet age. Only motorsport these things stuck in was boat racing.

[@callummclachlan4771]

And of course maybe plane racing. But it makes sense why they only stuck in boat and plane racing. Need to stay at high rpm for power.

[@jamesmchenry4708]

@@callummclachlan4771 they don't really race turboprops in air racing that I know of, other than in the Sport class and point-to-point races. Most of the race planes you think of - pylon racers and the Red Bull aerobatic time trial thingy I don't know whether or not they do anymore - use piston engines, while there IS a pure jet (no propeller) class in what was once the Reno Air Races. But, yes, you can throw either a plane or (at least) a Hydroplane-type race boat into a corner at full - or at least constant - power and never lift, given the way the courses and vehicles are designed.

[@memorimusic420]

i've always loved Trubine powered cars!!! Hopefully we will see a lap of the Chrysler Turbine car once it comes out! (Historic Sim Studios is working on it :) )

[@sozbe1405]

Like the new editing

[@laurenmp7486]

There was the Lotus 56, a turbine powered race car, so if there's a mod for that, well could see how that goes. Granted given its from the 60s not sure how different it would be. Also I have how the car on cornering is like "Hit the apex? But the apex never did anything to me".

[@Oob144]

Hell yeah

[@madam94]

Ha epic! Not a car I thought I'd ever see doing a Nords lap!

[@Tony_Man]

Really like how the design of this flat bullet predates the design of Prototype racecars we have today.

[@nickosmond]

Would love to see you try this series with more oddball cars or unique cars kinda like the Dodge little red express or the ram SRT 10 or potentially the Cummins diesel special Indy cars

[@BubbaBearGames]

That would be fun.

[@nickosmond]

@@BubbaBearGames don’t worry I’m not picky when I say more oddball and unique cars. I don’t just mean the ones that I listed those were just the first that came to mind when thinking of a good example

[@ThePentosin]

I think the modders have made a mistake. Beeing a turboshaft, the turbine rpm are directly related to the speed of the car. So it wouldnt be possible to spool the engine in corners. 35k rpm is max, but the rpm during its 300kph record run was "only" 28k rpm. So it would have to go way above 300kph to ever hit 35k rpm.

[@TheM00ndawg]

i love how the roll cage on those old cars was just the drivers head.

[@Tyindel]

If you wanted to drive something that was made for racing, take the Lotus Type 56 for a drive. Turbine powered, 4wd indycar that almost won the 500 on 2 different years before turbines were banned as well as runing in modified form in the 1971 F1 season with a best of 8th at Monza. There's also a handful of turbine powered sports racers including one of the first garage 57 cars in the Rover-BRM prototype from the 60s in the attempt to win a fuel efficiency cup. That is of course if either of those cars have mods for AC

[@ocpd182]

I think I saw that car at the museum at Le Mans back in '06.

[@snow-xg2fc]

Imagine these in a current day racing series. Modern brakes and tires and a roll cage maybe some downforce instead of slipforce. Would be so interesting but ig in wrecks there would be a problem w the turbine flying out the car and taking off in a random direction

[@skynet1.044]

You need to make “How fast can the *insert car* lap the nordschleife?” Into a series jimmer 🙏

[@kylesmith1375]

That lap time was honestly pretty surprising

[@crazywilly85]

Would be awesome if you made a laptime list of all the cars you raced around Nordschleife, like top gear but for sim instead.

[@skill_issueee]

Nordschleife in weird cars is finally back HECK YEAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@christopherlozada6411]

[@kennytheamazing]

Land speed record cars aren't really cars, they're planes that have been convinced to stay on the ground. For some reason, I would really like to see this car engineer's reaction to this video.

[@ValTheDangerGal]

I assume this was suggested before but I think it would be really cool to see Jimmy trying out the Chaparral 2J around the Nordschleife if he can find a mod for it

you need to take that thing around the daytona oval that would be insane!

It still boggles my mind how long it took for the greatest minds in racing just couldnt come up with improving suspension and wheels and brakes. Saftey even. But they sure loved straight 8 plane motors with single or twin superchargers that couldnt put the power down at all or stop at all
