Cherrier FCV Rally Expansion

Forum discussion thread

Lore:
Cherrier wanted to increase it's rally presence and thus started the rally program, fulfillfing the entire WRC pyramid. This is a great option for privateer teams who need a ready-to-go rally car straight from the factory with parts support.

Currently available configurations:

Spoiler: Vivace Rally5 - Gravel Rally (Sequential)

Description:
Vivace based factory rally car, made for Rally5 regulations, which is the lowest class in the WRC pyramid. Regulations state that the car has to have a power-to-weight ratio of 6.4kg/hp. Despite it not looking like much, it's a very rugged and capable rally car.



Specifications:
Price: 60 000
Class: Rally5
Drive: FWD
Weight: 1260kg
Engine: 1.2L Inline 3 Turbo
Power: 197hp @ 5500rpm, 313Nm @ 3000rpm
Transmission: 5 speed sequential
Suspension: MacPherson Struts Front and Rear
Wheels: Dreid RallyPro 15x6, 195/65 R15 Gravel Rally tires

Spoiler: Vivace Rally3 - Gravel Rally (Sequential)

Description:
Vivace based factory rally car, made for Rally3 regulations, which is the lowest class in the WRC pyramid which allows AWD. Regulations state that the car has to have a power-to-weight ratio of 5.6kg/hp. This isn't your average Clutchex AWD system, it's a proper full time rally setup with a center differential. Besides the power bump, this car also receives antilag, giving you power without delay.



Specifications:
Price: 120 000
Class: Rally3
Drive: AWD
Weight: 1340kg
Engine: 1.2L Inline 3 Turbo w/ antilag.
Power: 241hp @ 5000rpm, 388Nm @ 3000rpm
Transmission: 5 speed sequential
Suspension: MacPherson Struts Front and Rear
Wheels: Dreid RallyPro 15x7, 205/65 R15 Gravel Rally tires

Spoiler: Vivace S 350Q (M) N4 - Gravel Rally

Description:
5 cylinder Vivace that started off as a street car, later built for older Group N4 regulations. Due to the strict nature of N4 then the car retains a ton of factory parts. In addition to that, the car is choked out by a restrictor, pushing the output down to 270hp. Specifically the car had to retain factory suspension geometry and could only use gear ratios and final drives used in factory cars. Luckily the differentials could be switched out for a limited slip option. Since Vivace wasn't produced with a full time AWD system, then it suffers from the short comings of the Clutchex AWD system.



Specifications:
Price: ~80 000
Class: N4
Drive: Cluthex AWD
Weight: 1545kg
Engine: 2.5L Inline 5 Turbo

Description:
Tograc based experimental electric rally car. It's not eligable for any rallies besides it's own France based national Tograc Electric Rally Cup. Make sure to turn off regenerative braking in the radial menu before a stage.

Power: 364hp, 540Nm - combined from two electric motors

Other features:

- Spare tire, stolen from the Sunburst remaster (with clipping included).


- Launch liveries can be painted in any color you'd like


Parts I plan adding in the future:
- properly sized asphalt rally tires, ingame ones are too large. Until then there won't be asphalt specific configs.
- mudflaps
- new steering wheel, modern rally wheels have buttons on them.

Configurations still in the works:
- Early 2000s WRC inspired config with active diffs
- Rally4
- Rally2
- N2/N3

Configurations i might try to replicate, but i'm not sure:
- Super 2000
- R4
- Super 1600
- WRC mid 2010s

Feel free to suggest classes you'd like to see, i might consider them.

I won't do Rally1, since these cars are no longer based on production cars and instead use spec chassis. There's a nice Vivace facelift mod out there if you're looking for something like that.
