A downloadable automation_mod

A mod I made in the Automation game. Also my first public mod!

The 60's were a crazy time in the car industry: thousands of cars you would never see today took to the streets, bumpers made from chrome, and more things I can't think of. In motorsports, however, there was more. NASCAR had manufacturers like Dodge, Plymouth, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Mercury compete for the better car. Also in NASCAR at this time, Toyota wasn't in the sport. But in F1, even though teams came and went, there were moments that are important even today. F1 cars hit the track with engines in the rear for the first time, Jack Brabham and Bruce McLaren competed in cars bearing their own names (with Jack Brabham taking both titles in 1966), BRM tried to use a H16 engine, there were a lot of champions, and more. If you look at BeamNG.drive, there are no F1 cars in it. Why I brought up the 60's?

Well, I made a F1 car mod for BeamNG.drive that shows you what it would be like to drive a F1 car from the early 60's. No wings, sponsors (except drivers got fuel from Shell and each team got tires for free until 1968, where Lotus introduced sponsorship to the sport), and the cars were essentially coffins on wheels. Enjoy this one, as I will make two car mods from this exact brand in the 60's, one later F1 car and the other a endurance race car.

Now I am aware of a few issues with the car, mainly the fact that it oversteers a lot and that when being driven, it wiggles around all over the place like Jello. The oversteering thing I had to use otherwise I don't think the car would steer at all, the other is a issue with the exporter. And the other present issue I know of is the engine sticking out of the chassis a little bit.

Also if you are wondering why there are big sticks coming out the front and rear, I used those due to the double wishbone suspension on both.
