Seat 131 Gr.5 (Silhouette) 1980 - Assetto Corsa
🕑 Added 2021-07-10 09:01:01 +0000 UTCG'day mates! here we go with Fiat based beast made by Spaniards for their local championship - Campeonato de Espana Turismo - Seat 131 made with Gr.5 regulations!
Yes, it'a another european Super Silhouette car with quite small horse power output, but still fun to ride. It's x1.7 faster then Dakos and Esprit (that were published previously).

Read Spanish article about the Seat 131

....from the article....
After the withdrawal of the rally from the official SEAT team and in case in 1981 it was necessary to maintain a Competition department, it was decided to leave an embryo of the old Department, in charge of a small and technically ambitious program. This program consisted of continuing at the foot of the cannon in the competition, making a Seat run on circuits, according to the new specifications of the Federation for 1980, that is, in Gr. 5, for the Nationals. After hesitating between a Ritmo and a 131, it was decided to opt for the latter, since starting from the national base, it was the most competitive car that could be built. The idea was born and it had to be developed against the clock, since the decision made on December 1, 1979, the car should be ready for the first race, in the last week of March.
Regarding the engine of this car and despite the enormous difficulties, given that time was pressing, there was no hesitation in heading towards the well-known powerplant of the 131 with Abarth 16-valve cylinder heads, which derives from the Seat 131/2000 , with the displacement raised to 2,100 cc The turbo solution was thought about, but due to previous unfortunate experiences, it was momentarily abandoned due to its high cost and great fragility.

Nice work! Hey... just have to ask what track is that with the little homes in it (in the pics attached here). Thanks!
Yeah I found it strange because everyone else seems to be fine and the other group 5 cars work great
Tony Barracuda
I will check it in the evening, mate. But it was fine and its first time i hear about error of the car
That's the weird thing, it doesn't show one. It just says race cancelled
Tony Barracuda
What error does CM shows you ?
Sorry mate but replacing the sound didn't fix it, any other suggestions? I reinstalled CSP too
Tony Barracuda
Strange. do you use CM? Try to replace sound. should work
It won't actually run, any suggestions as to fix it? I just get hit with 'race cancelled' any time I load it
Tony Barracuda
I will double check later. Probably CM info is wrong, but actuall power is according real data, counting wheel lose on chassis

Tony Barracuda

sokinawa
