<br>
It was a collaboration project between the racing driver Dr Mario Damonte, architech-engineer Carlo Mollino and Enrico Nardi.<br>
<br>
Carlo Mollino designed the streamlined, asymmetric, Twin-Boom body.<br>
It was built by artisans of CA.MO. Rocco Motto and made of aluminium.<br>
<br>
Nardi had the strange task of building a chassis that could fit inside the already built body.<br>
<br>
The right side contained the engine, gearbox and differential.<br>
While the left side hosted the driver and the fuel tank.<br>
The whole car only weighted 400kg.<br>
<br>
The Bisiluro only raced at Le Mans for 2 hours and had to be retired after a crash.<br>
<br>
Rumor says that &quot;It was so light, it was blown away by a passing Jaguar&quot;.<br>
Truth is, the drivers complained about the pore weight balance, making the car very hard to drive and resulting in a crash.<br>

<br>
<b>Mod Informations:</b><br>
First a small disclaimer:<br>
Very few information, photos and data exist for this car.<br>
The blueprints available online are early sketches and completely wrong.<br>
3D modelling was mostly done using low resolution photos upscalled via AI<br>
<br>
This is more an interpretation of what the Nardi could have been, more than an exact replica.<br>
<br>
We made it fun to drive, while trying to keep some of the quirks.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Aerodynamics and CFD Simulations:</b><br>
Some sources mentioned the car could have produced downforce thanks to it&apos;s middle section in the shape of an inverted airfoil.<br>
Even if our model isn&apos;t an exact replica, we decided to run a CFD Simulation as an experiment.<br>
<br>
The simulation was done on <a href="http://airshaper.com/" target="_blank" class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=http%3A%2F%2Fairshaper.com%2F&amp;hash=6b41b7fade2ea3f52057302135341f38" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">airshaper.com</a>, an online service that let you upload a 3D game model and run a CFD simulations in a few minutes.<br>
<br>
Result is Yes, it does produce downforce: 9.952kg at 150kph and most of it at the front.<br>
Tt is caused by the radiator flaps, added to improve cooling for Le Mans, and also present on our model.<br>
<br>
Cd is 0.293 for a frontal area 0.978 M&#xb2;<br>

<br>
<b>Engine damage and Powerloss:</b><br>
The engine will loose power past 50% of life. Once at 25%, it will start to malfunctions with throttle cuts.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Working gauges:</b><br>
All the gauges are functional.<br>
When the engine gets damaged, the oil and water temperatures will rise.<br>
A thermal system isn&apos;t simulated, but it will give you the possibility to turn off the ugly damage UI of AC and get fully immersed.<br>
<br>
A check engine red light will also turn on at 30% engine life.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Weight Distribution:</b><br>
The layout of the Nardi makes the left-right weight distribution quite ... interesting.<br>
<br>
With a full tank of fuel, the car is almost balanced, but with an empty tank the left side is heavier.<br>
It those conditions the car will be easier to turn in the left direction and will tend to go right under heavy braking.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>AI Version:</b><br>
The AI struggled a lot with the un-balanced weight distribution.<br>
We included a version without it for the AI.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Requirements and Recommendations:<br>
<br>
CSP 1.76 Minimum<br>
Driver model by Mr.Malarkey:</b><br>
<a href="https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/new-driver-driver-1955.46442/" target="_blank" class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.racedepartment.com%2Fdownloads%2Fnew-driver-driver-1955.46442%2F&amp;hash=89c65c31e8f59db0745b6771e0a6867d" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/new-driver-driver-1955.46442/</a><br>
<br>
We recommend to turn off the &quot;soft-lock&quot; in the Content Manager<br>
It&apos;s in settings-&gt;assetto corsa-&gt;controls-&gt;force feedback-&gt;Miscellaneous<br>
<br>
We also recommend using between 94 and 96% of Track Grip<br>

Special thanks to Ilja Jusupov for adding the new engine damage functions we suggested, and for all the other features of CSP that make this mod more fun to drive.<br>
<br>
Hope you enjoy <br>
<br>
<br>
<b>PS:</b><br>
This our first mod and still WIP, we have to completely redo the object nomencalture, improve the textures,...<br>
<br>
Speaking of upcoming mods, we are working on a car pack...<br>
