Originally started as FedEx CART 1998 Championship mod for rFactor, Racing Line Developments has renamed their project to CART Factor.
The mod will now include not just cars from 1998 but also from the 1997 and 1999 CART seasons, bringing some of the most exciting years in American open-wheel racing to rFactor. Below are a bunch of new, very impressive, previews for you to enjoy.
Com8 has made lots of progress with reworking the Nürburgring Nordschleife in GTR Evolution. Based on the original Simbin version, his 2009 version will contain many changes such as new textures, the removal of all fictional advertisement boards and lots of trackside objects. Below are first previews of the Nürburgring 24 Hour Race 2009 layout version of the track. The 24h race uses a slightly different configuration of the track that does not include the Mercedes Arena corners as these are needed for additional paddock space. Aside from the layout changes, the 24h version of course also features the main difference ...
After showing us plenty of model renders, International Pro-Modding has now released a first batch of renders that show a fully painted car of their FSONE 2009 Formula One mod. We get to check out the fully dressed-up Toyota TF109, driven by Timo Glock & Jarno Trulli. The TF109 was one of the few cars to feature the controversial double-diffuser at the beginning of this year’s season, helping the team to several podium finishes and poles. FSONE 2009 will include all cars and drivers of the current Formula One season which introduced a whole lot of changes to the world championship. [gallery=1671]
CSGT has released their World Sportscar Championship 1970 mod for rFactor, bringing one of the most exciting years in sports car racing to the simulation. WSC 1970 consists of almost 30 different car models, including legendary prototypes like the Porsche 917, the Ferrari 512S and the Ford GT40. Also included are the most famous GT cars of that era such as the Ferrari 365GTB, the Porsche 911 and the Chevrolet Corvette. All in all, this massive mod includes 125 cars from the 1970 Le Mans 24 Hours and the World Sportscar Championship season, all coming with RealFeel compatible physics. A detailed RealFeel ...
Team RMT has released new previews of their World Super GT 2 mod project for rFactor 2, showing us the Ferrari F40 GTE on track. Originally planned as an additional car for the rFactor version of World Super GT, the F40 will now be making its way into WSGT 2. As usual, the car only sports basic textures for its first run, looking pretty gorgeous already though. Aside from the Nissan R35 and the mod's safety car, the team is done modelling all the cars in a pretty rapid pace. Successor to World Super GT for GTR 2, World Super GT 2 ...
Virtua_LM has released a bunch of new GTX5 for rFactor previews, showing us various Lancia Beta Montecarlos at Mid Ohio. We get to check out the Italian race cars at day & night, from the inside and the outside. GTX5 will include the high-powered and extreme racing cars of the Group 5 era which were powered by insanely powerful turbo engines and featured very extensive body modifications. Notable cars of that era were the Porsche 935, the BMW 320 and the Ford Capri which managed to win all major endurance races of that time, including the Le Mans 24 Hours. [gallery=1644]

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?”

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.
