rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=Bathurst%20LegendsAusModders of Ausfactor.com proudly present the Bathurst Legends 1969 v1.0 mod for Rfactor.
Re-live the days of that famous 1969 showroom showdown where the
mighty GTHO Falcon legend began and the Chevy V8 Holdens rained supreme.
Why this year you ask ? The Bathurst 1969 race was hyped as a true
showdown of Fords new HO muscle verses the mighty Holden chevy.
1969 was a battle for sales (What won on Sunday, Sold on Monday) and
both manufacturers had allot at stake. Holden were keen to loft the
My Panarama trophy after the underdog Falcon GT dominated the previous year.
1969 therefore was a great year to start and will always be in the memory of
those that remember the race as a classic piece of Australian motor racing history.
It was an era where families were either Ford or Holden fans and there was no
middle ground. Battles broke out in streets over the brand you supported
and there were no compromises if you were on the opposing team.
We have tried to capture the feel of these cars in all aspects of the Mod
and we hope you all enjoy.
No one can be more proud of our team than I. This mod nearly
dissappeared, never to be released, as real life gets in the way
of all modders visions of today. We seized on an opportunity
and put together a team that could make the original designers
of the cars, dreams come true. We hope they are as proud as us and
we thank them from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us to
finish their work.
The commitment to this mod by all members involved speaks for
itself in the final result. Passion, combined with raw talent in each members
speciality is the reason why we cannot wipe the smile off our faces.
Thats what makes this group special...... Passion, much like the real drivers,
owners and enthusists have for the cars today. Many sleepless nights fine
tuning our work, just wanting to get that last bit done for a test
before bed, has added years to our age I swear it lolol....
We started off with F1C models, but by the end, they are all scratch
made again, with many new additions.
Most members are family men, with very supportive wives and children
and for that we owe a special gratitude to our personal families, partners
and parents for giving us the room to create the mod.
