Today I’m excited to share the latest additions to the 2026 grid: the McLaren MCL40 and the Haas VF-26.
As mentioned previously, this year’s cars have been split between myself, Excalibur, and Isaint—so this release marks my final contribution to the 2026 lineup. Huge thanks to Excalibur for the outstanding work on the new wheels and rims; they really elevate the overall look of the cars. You may also spot an early preview of the 2026 helmets, with a full release to follow once they’re complete.
McLaren MCL40
The McLaren team continue to use the benchmark Mercedes power unit and having not had an ideal start to the season, nevertheless showed a competitive outing at the recent Japanese Grand Prix.
It was a refreshing change to work on something closer to the sharp end of the grid—my earlier allocations seemed firmly rooted at the back!
Haas VF-26
The Toyota backed Haas team have fared well in the midfield, with some reasonably strong showings so far. Nothing spectacular, just good solid progress with capable drivers behind the wheel.
After many years of quite bland and dull liveries, the Gazoo Racing effect has produced once of the better looking liveries on the grid.
As with my previous release, you will find the internal cockpit shape for each car, along with the collision mesh file.
In the background, work has begun in compiling a mod, and when all the cars, helmets and a good set of physics are shared, I will release a CSM and a non-CSM version of the mod. Until then, I hope you enjoy these new additions to the 2026 grid.
