NEWS FLASH!!!
H6-C-6R 2006 Version 3.0 update will be available in the near future. The H6C now has some serious competition in the All Car Challenge. More importantly, I am integrating the Corvette C6-R, the mod will now be named H6-C-6R. I have toiled for months to integrate the new Vette. I will have screenshots posted soon. The forum has been disabled for quite a while due to these changes. It will be back and available for setups and chit chat once the mod is released.

What is the H6 Challenge Mod?
When rFactor was initially released, myself, along with several of my friends and teammates found the original content to be rather bland. We knew that rFactor was developed as a moding foundation which would eventually lead to more and more exciting content from a variety of mod teams but we were growing increasingly impatient.
We had played the MP Test Demo which featured the Kodi cars but we wanted more. Open wheel cars just weren't for us, we wanted a GT race car which featured a throaty growl that only a large displacement V8 could provide. We had our sites on the Howston H6 model and quickly came to realize that this car drove and sounded more like a street racer than an actual race car. As the days and weeks progressed with no full tin-top mods on the nearby horizon, I started thinking that I should probably look into the files and perhaps modify the H6 car.
The H6 Challenge Mod was born. I was not a new comer to ISI products, having driven their F1 series for a few years. I had also done some physics moding and a little bit of 3D for the F1 Challenge 99-02 simulator. All of my work was kept strictly between me and my friends and never released to the public.
A bit about me!
Although the H6C mod's features are based on fantasy, the physics model is derived from real life GT and Trans-Am series specs as well as my own experience as far as driving and racing high powered sports cars for over 20 years. I'd like to think that I know how a real wheel drive car with loads of torque handles and what the do(s) and don't(s) are. I've tried to deliver as much as I can to realistically mimic the feelings derived from driving and racing such powerful cars.
I also have some experience in car restoration, since I have in fact owned and restored a couple of Vintage Corvettes in my lifetime. Perhaps I will post some pics of my real life toy at some point in the future.
In a nutshell, I'm a speed lover who has worked in the computer field for nearly 20 years.
I hope you enjoy the mod!
