Trained Monkey Modding team presents Tatra 603-2 B5 Marathon

So this is another Czechoslovak legend from our workshop – Tatra 603-2 in B5 Marathon edition. It is powered by V8 engine producing 170BHP cooled by air with help of those 2 big barrels on the rear of the car (ejector cooling). This car was used mostly for endurance racing and was developed secretly by Tatra engineers in their free time. But those endurace races were nothing like the endurance races we know nowadays, this car took part in “Marathon de la Route” competetion at the famous Nordchleife, maybe some oldtimers will know, but this race lasted 3 days with strict rules about average speed! And this old beauty was very succesfull in it, won it’s category couple of times. It is not pure race car, it is basically civilian car with just slightly fastened suspension and improved engine, but it can still do almost 200kph on the straights 🙂

When you will try it in AC, remember that it is old lady with heavy tail, it will take some time to get used to it, but when you master this beauty, it is very pleasant drive! But we recommend to use “H” shifter and cluch to fully enjoy it. Heel and toe is a must when downshifting 🙂

We recommend to use this mod with CSP 1.52 and higher, it might crash with lower versions.
