Hello fellow simracers,
I would like to introduce myself. I am Eric and quite new to this forum and simracing hobby.
I have been working on a project "
KAMACHI Racing Revival" which part of it involve simracing in AC and I want to share my ideas with you.
My family established a sports brand, KAMACHI, in Hong Kong in the 80's. As a motorsports enthusiast, my father sponsored race teams under the brand to race in the Macau GP for many years.
3 very important race cars to the family are:
- 1986 Volve 240 turbo driven by Johnny Cecotto. Finishing 1st and 3rd in the race

- 1989 BMW Team Schnitzer M3 by Emanuele Pirro and Alfrid Heger.

- 1991 BMW E30 M3 Group A driven by Hong Kong legendary champion driver Charles Kwan.

Since it is the 30th anniversary of 1898 E30 M3, I want to bring this back and celebrate it with the community.
First, I've done a replica of the race car and exhibited it in this year's Macau GP.

Secondly, I want to bring these race cars into the digital age so that the fans and community can enjoy it as a free download.
This will involve:
(1) Get in touch with a skin modder to make the skin for the E30 M3 plus some tuning. It is because for that race, Pirro's race car was 6 speed where as Heger's and Kwan's cars were 5 speed.
(2) Get in touch with a car modder to build a mod for the Volvo 240 turbo.
(3) Overhaul the current Macau race track in AC and turn it back into a historic Macau GP circuit. This will involve moving the starting line to a different part of the straight (be more accurate to the 80's), remove some of the building and bridges, retro skin mod for the track, etc.

What do you think about this project? Do you like this idea?
I hope to collaborate with anyone who is interested in this, work together or even just point me into the right direction.
** I posted a new thread on the main AC section for more discussion. Hope to hear from you!**
Thank You!
