The Toyota 415S was the result of the combined development of Yamaha and Toyota. Yamaha purchased a Ford GT40 and used that as the basis for the 415S' aluminum monocoque chassis design.
Meanwhile Toyota designed the aluminum-block 2986 cc DOHC V8 engine, the Toyota 61E. The engine produced 330 hp at 8500rpm, with peak torque of 300nm produced at 6400 rpm. Unfortunately, this engine was to be the car's downfall, as it produced 120hp less then its competitors, the Nissan R381 and the Lola T70, all powered by small block Chevy V8 engines producing around 450hp.
Despite this lack of power, the car's excellent reliability and good handling attributes enabled the Toyota racing team's talented drivers to win 7 Japanese races over the course of the 1968 and 1969 seasons, including the Fuji 1000km, the Suzuka 1000km, and the 12 Hours of Suzuka.
Changelog:
1. New L1960s tires.
2. Updated suspension.
3. Updated transmission gear ratios.
4. New differential.
5. Completely new aerodynamics.
Remaining:
1. Add accurate engine sounds (currently just placeholder).
2. Suspension needs more work, it is still mostly based upon the GT40.

Cool, but one of the headlight dont work, and car seems be too stable at accelerating (no fighting with a rear at full throttle)

Setup options are limited at this time while the car continues to be finalized. It only adds another layer of complexity to dial in that I like to save for later.

I don't see suspension adjustments?
