What this mod does

The UCM 2016 is University of Canterbury Motorsport’s Formula Student car. Gary Paterson made the model, textures and physics from the CAD model and data provided by the team itself, which also gave him permission to release it.

What’s included

  • A default power mode based on real-world use, with a one-second power boost from a standing start, and a rear-only RWD mode that cuts power in half.
  • The full 2016 livery with all sponsors plus a simplified version; templates provided separately.
  • Kunos sound.

Who it’s for

For short, narrow, technical tracks: the author recommends the game’s Drift, Brands Hatch Indy, Highlands Short and Magione, plus community Formula Student, karting and gymkhana layouts. On fast tracks the tires overheat.

Version

It’s 0.9 (January 2018). Things to know: don’t use the clutch, just put it in gear and go; the RPM that apps show is after an 11:1 reduction, and the fuel has no mass, it’s only there so the AI works. Damage, dirt and cable animation are missing.

Unofficial fan-made mod. All names, logos and liveries belong to their respective owners; neither the author nor Holymod is affiliated with them.

Common problems

The AI is very slow off the line

The author couldn't remove the clutch without enabling auto clutch, which slows down starts.

Why does the RPM look low?

Apps show the engine speed after an 11:1 reduction: 1,000 equals 11,000.

Does fuel matter?

No: the default 100 liters have no mass; they're only needed for the AI.
