This Mod was finished as a tribute to Stephan “Evolution” Laganas who sadly passed away early in 2010. Steve was the creator of the original Superbuggy mod and had started to create a class 1 before passing. The guys at East West Extreme decided to improve the Super Buggy even further as well as complete and release the Class 1 as a tribute to him.
I didn’t know Steve, but I bet he would be proud. This is in my opinion one of, if not the best off road mod for rFactor I’ve ever tried. They just released version 1.20 as they prepare to do some off road endures with these buggies. To see more of my opinion on it, you can also tune into episode 66 of Inside Sim Racing thats due to air very soon and we feature it on Top Simulation Cars of All Time.
This mod is designed around league racing and is not an AI mod, although you can race them if you wish to. These two buggy styles are able to race against each other and both have their own pros and cons.
The overall goal of their team is to add cars as the mod evolves and get that ultimate Baja Style racing and Short track Mayhem.
The Super Buggy includes :
20 Teams
Honda or Toyota 4 Cylinder Engines
Suspension
Class 1 Buggy includes :
25 Teams
Chevy or Ford 8 Cylinder Engines
Both Class 1 and Super Buggy have an Enduro Class that can be selected via the Team Select/Vehicle Select Menu. They also both incorporate kick ass real feel settings. Also the sounds in the V8 Super Buggies can shake the life out of you with a Buttkicker, so beware !
This will be the last change to EWOR Evolution before the next new vehicle to be added which should be approx 8 weeks away.
***THEY SUGGEST A FRESH INSTALL OF RFLITE FOR THIS RELEASE***
***DELETE ALL VERSION 1.0 FILES PRIOR TO INSTALL OF 1.2***

Wow, this offroad mod is great!!! However, I can´t get it in tripplescreen mode (TH2GO) – left and right screens dosent show up, so my FOV is kind of limited. First mod rFactormod that this has happend for me. Any advise or suggestions?

My problems are solved. I installed the 1.1 first and then the 1.2 patch, it was the 1.2 full inst that caused problems for me or maybe i misunderstod something.
Glad you got it sorted Frans.. Ver cool mod isn’t it ??
I am very happy that so many people like this mod, this mod was created for our league at http://www.eastwestextreme.com as in Australia there are a large number of fans off offroad racing, and a large number of sim racers who also enjoy racing both on and offroad and due to the great multiplayer and modding functionality of rfactor , it was our choice for creating the mod. This is only the start of the EWOR Evolution mod, as we have several new cars currently in the process of being made for the mod, and the modding crew at http://www.eastwestextreme.com are looking forward to the release of rFactor 2 so we can continue modding for the sim racing offroad community as it seems to be growing day by day.
I would also like to thank Darin Gangi for sharing our mod with the sim racing communtity
