GSMF’s Alien@work has posted new previews of the team’s Porsche 997 GT3-RSR for rFactor.
The car now sports its first set of temporary wheels and even in this rather early stage, it’s safe to say that this will be one of the most detailed and authentic models rFactor has ever seen.
The Lamborghini Gallardo GT3 for the FIA GT3 2007 mod for GTR2 is making good progress as [A-A] PHR has finished modelling the bull from Sant’ Agatha.
The car will now be put in the game by Albe89 of BurnOut modding where it will join the pack of GT3 machinery.
Team 21 has released some more preview shots of their car at Zolder, keeping all the Porsche and GTL fans entertained. The shots have been taken straight from GT Legends, no editing involved - Enjoy!
Here`s a pleasant surprise for all GT racing lovers. Nicolas of Team LMP has announced that they have received permission from the original authors to convert the 1997 FIA GT mod from F1 Challenge to GTR2.
Apparently, the conversion has already seen quite some progress as the team has kept this project a secret. The release is planned to happen “very soon”.
The 1997 FIA GT mod brings one of the most exciting eras of sports car racing to GTR2. At the end of the last century, several major manufacturers joined the series and fought exciting battles for the sports car crown. In the end, the big money ruined the series but while it lasted, the FIA GT of the late nineties was one of the best sportscar series ever.

Here’s the final item on GTR Evolution for now, the official new preview video for those of you who don’t like Quicktime files. Enjoy!

If you click “Read More”, you can find the full car and track list. Tracks include no surprises, we get what was in RACE07 as well as the Nürburgring GP & Nordschleife plus a combined endurance version.
The GT cars offer a mix of known GTR2 cars and plenty of new machinery, these category shows that Simbin is somewhat drifting into the fantasy direction though. The three GT classes include some cars that yet have to make an impact on GT racing (Audi R8 GT Concept, Apollo GT) and most of them sport fantasy liveries.
To wrap things up, four production class vehicles are waiting to be tested on the most challenging track of them all, the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
