Team LMT has released their first ever public mod for rFactor, bringing Ferrari's F60 Formula One car and the 2009 version of the Singapore Grand Prix to the simulation. Driven by Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen, the F60 was Ferrari's take on the new rules introduced prior to the 2009 Formula One season. Despite being equipped with the promising KERS system, the car failed to make an impact on the world championship. Along with the car comes the 2009 version of Singapore, Formula One's first ever night Grand Prix. The team's first public mod for rFactor was helped by many modders who ...

Enduracers have released a first batch of previews of the upcoming Service Pack 1 for their popular Endurance Series mod for rFactor. The previews show the Porsche RS Spyder Evo LMP2 prototype in several paint schemes. Launched in 2007 after a problem-ridden season with the initial RS Spyder model, the Evo proved to be a big success, clinching Porsche countless wins in the American Le Mans Series, the Le Mans 24 Hours and the Le Mans Series.

Following a first batch of previews released a few days ago, Team RMT has now released new previews of the Honda NSX Cockpit in rFactor where World Super GT is running for testing purposes. The shots show us what could very well be the most stunning cockpit in any PC simulation ever as no detail has been spared on the Super GT car's interior. Successor to World Super GT for GTR 2, World Super GT 2 will bring some of of the most legendary GT cars of the 90s as well as Super GT GT500 class machinery to rFactor 2. [nggallery id=1958] Via BSR

love the cockpit.
Now I await the replies from folk: “Why add 1997? Why not release 1998 first then bring out a 1997 update or patch?”

“Why add 1997? Why not release 1998 first then bring out a 1997 update or patch?”
And since you’ve pre-empted the question, I’ll pre-answer it.. no release strategy has been determined as yet. But the 97 Reynards will be finished before, say, the 98 Penske just because it’s very similar to the 98 car and the 98 Reynard’s more complete than the Penske, etc.
The sole reason that the extra seasons, 1997 and 1999, were added to the plan is that they are the next logical step from the 98 stuff, given all the assets/content we’ve created already. If anything we’re being environmentally friendly by recycling… or something :razz:
Since we’re pre-empting replies, I’ll tackle another one – this is effectively V2 of the mod, it’s just V1 was never released. This development cycle only started in August :)

You can’t “pre-answer” :) That’s like answering before you answer.
Anyway, if this mod drives as good as it looks, we are in for a real treat! The cars look great.

These are not Indy Cars ;) These are CART Championship cars. This was the series Tony George left to form the Indy Racing League.
