1. Installation
-----------------
copy or extract the car folder with its contents into your assetto corsa cars folder. Default folder is:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\assettocorsa\content\"


2. Information about the mod
-----------------
Legends Cars is a racing class based on 5/8 models of 1930's and 40's coupes and sedans used in early nascar type races

Idea of the class was to keep it inexpensive for beginners and weekend racers. Cars use parts from 1970's toyotas, 1990's yamaha motorcycle engines and tube frame with fiberglass body.

Cars have a spooled live rear axle with no antiroll bars, street tyres with camber cut tread and bilstein one type shocks that are not adjustable.

Engine produces about 150++ horsepower and car weighs 590kg (minimum with driver) so grip is scarce and racing is fun.

Car setup is pretty simple once you get it to suit your style, after that you mostly play with tire pressures and brake balance.

x

NOTICE: real life Legends minimum height of 89mm is read without the driver inside and as Assetto Corsa does not allow this to be done the minimum height has been lovered about 10mm which is pretty close to what the car drops with driver in it with about 225lb springs

6. Known issues
-----------------
- Sound disappears if car gets far enough. Also sound quids are named same as the Tatuus ones in assetto corsa so you might not want to use that car on the same server (biggest nuisance is that mod manager gives you a notification about this). We can't do anything about either of these as we don't have the original soundfiles and original creator Venom34 has disappeared


7. Skinning information
-----------------
- check text file "skinning_guide.txt" for information about skins and templates
