Hey, y'all, it's been a while.
I've finally updated my GeneRally Physics Calculator for the first time in years. Enjoy this little gift back to the GeneRally community! <3
Click here to try it out.
What is this?
This is a series of web-based tools for the freeware top-down racing game GeneRally. It's entirely web-based too. No more installing stuff, no plugins required, just open your browser (desktop or mobile) and use it!
Tools
Realistic Physics Calculator
Generates realistic, scaled-down attributes for your custom GeneRally car. All values are based on Haruna's Realistic Car Physics formula with some minor adjustments. Enter the real-life attributes of a car, then click "Calculate Physics". It will then generate scaled-down attributes that you can immediately copy and paste into the GeneRally car editor.
Open source
Yes, this app is completely open-source (licensed under MIT), so anyone can contribute to it. If you run into an issue, or if you have any tool ideas, please file an bug report on GitHub or on this thread.

Changelog
UPDATE 3: Major rewrite! (2020-06-18)
- Modernised the codebase. This tool was written the first time I touched web development, so there were some... things that I did in the past that doesn't fit how I'd code them today.
- Stuff should load much faster now! Using modern JavaScript, we can reduce a lot of the code size, allowing for fast access from even a phone with slow 3G connection.
- Major overhaul on design Cleaner, more modern design.
- Click-to-copy. You can now click on any of the generated attributes and it will automatically copy them to your clipboard.
- Updated balance and grip formula.
- Reference table now inside a modal element instead of in another page.
- Layout is now responsive, mobile-friendly.
- Code clean-ups.
- Updated downforce reference table.
- Mass is now 60% of the original car's weight.
- New tyre grip equation.
- Now has the formula to calculate exact balance.
