The Wing Modding Team is working on a Camel Trophy mod for rFactor, bringing the legendary off-road cross country rallies to the simulation. Run until 1999, the Camel Trophy had several nations teams competing against each other, driving Range Rover or Land Rover expedition cars.
The team has released a first video, showing the mod’s physics at work. Even though rFactor wasn’t made with a big focus on off-road driving in mind, the game is handling the challenge rather well as the video shows.

if they can build a detailed undercarrage and some sort of realistic damage model, to make playing this seem fun,.. i mean it looks ok, but give it some sort of challange like “offroad thru this path without damaging the suspension or rolling the truck” than i might want to play it…

Very original and cool idea :) I do hope they’ll create a track for it that is a bit more ‘Camel Trophy’esque’, a bit more jungle with narrow paths and some bridges made out of trees ;)

The good news is that I am making the tracks for the Camel Trophy mod. They will be on a variety of terrains, from typical Camel Trophy jungle to a basic training track. I hope to get Madcowie on board to help create the tracks.
