Lister Storm GT (GT1)

The Lister Storm GT is a wild, unapologetic British GT1 machine built around the dramatic Lister Storm road car and transformed into a long, low endurance racer with a big V12 up front. This RSS version captures the brutal charm of one of the most charismatic GT cars of the era, a front-engined homologation special that brought huge presence and serious speed to the grid.

In the Simulator Feel

The Lister Storm GT is a big-power, front-engined GT1 bruiser that feels both old-school and highly rewarding when driven cleanly. Compared with more balanced mid-engine rivals, it carries its mass with a distinct nose-heavy character, which means you work harder on corner entry and reward the car with smooth hands and disciplined braking. Once settled, though, it delivers strong mechanical grip, stable high-speed behavior, and a wonderfully dramatic driving experience.

Engine & Sound: The V12 is the star of the show — deep, metallic, and thunderous, with a hard-edged race exhaust note that builds into a ferocious wail at the top end. It is one of those engines that makes every lap feel special, with immediate throttle response and a huge sense of occasion as the revs climb.

Handling Characteristics:

  • Cornering: Stable and confidence-inspiring in fast bends, but it prefers patience on turn-in and can push wide if you overdrive the front end.

  • Traction: Strong rear-drive traction on corner exit, though the long wheelbase and front-engine balance demand smooth throttle application.

  • Braking: Powerful braking performance, but the car likes a planted platform and careful trail braking to keep the rear settled.

  • Top Speed: Strong straight-line pace and excellent endurance-racing punch, especially on circuits that reward V12 power and stability.

Driving Style Tip: Drive it like a heavyweight GT legend — brake early, rotate it progressively, and let the chassis settle before feeding in power. It shines on faster, flowing tracks where its stability and engine character can really come alive.

Livery & Aesthetics: The Lister Storm GT looks gloriously aggressive, with long proportions, a low stance, and unmistakable GT1-era presence. The wide bodywork, deep front splitter, and purposeful rear aero give it an imposing silhouette that feels right at home in classic endurance grids.

Whether you're chasing hot laps or reliving the golden age of GT1 racing, the Lister Storm GT delivers a uniquely visceral sim racing experience — muscular, eccentric, and unforgettable.
