iirc, the only way you could originally get this mod was to pay some scammy company like £250. The model was stolen from someone, and the physics were a rip from one of the F1 cars from Kunos. The only reason you can get it now is because the original model creator threatened a copyright lawsuit on the company.

I've been in the passenger seat and was able to do one lap at Abbeville track in France when i was studying mechanics, when I was 18 yo. The professional school I was in, was working and building injection ramps for Renault SPort, formule campus... The Espace F1 was here as a demo. What impressed me the most was the brakes. and how heavy you can get when the pilot goes from 160 km/ to 60km/h in only 20 meters. BTW there was no seats at the back but only the engine, and in french it's a "he" not a "she".
