Oh look, my very first release by me, how shocking. Anyway, this is the Assoluto Dragone (Also called Squaldon in the EU and US versions of Rage Racer), a prototype car by the fictional italian brand Assoluto from the Ridge Racer series.
This car is the equivalent of the 13th Racing devil car since it's a special machine. Why do I call it Dragone instead of Squaldon you may ask? Because the name is way cooler than Squaldon.
As you can expect, the car somewhat lacks grip, but makes up for it in speed and acceleration. But that's not all! Inside the Dragone's folder, there's an extra folder, which is the CPU version of the Dragone which you can use but it will use the Squaldon name instead of Dragone.
I do hope you enjoy using this gorgeous yet menacing car!
UPDATE: Car has received new parameters courtesy of LivingWithGames and has been credited. The following is:
- This fixes one of the wheels grip being higher than the rest, and same goes for the spring value for one of the spring being lower than usual. So when you'd accelerate and break, the car would veer to the left and right, slightly. This has now been fixed.
- The steering rate has now been decreased, from a steady 3.0 to...a meek 0.6.
- You can turn very slightly still for short periods but if you wanna really turn - you have to hold the steering. The longer you turn, the more it turns. This is no nimble racer, so think wisely on the tracks.
UPDATE 2: Fixed the wheel position and ride height of the CPU version of the Assoluto Dragone.
