Powered by a 3.5 liter V6 engine, the 350Z was built from 2003 to 2009, being available both as coupe and roadster version. The car will be released for rFactor, GTR2 & GTR Evolution, the sounds will be made by GSMF’s Fonsecker.
Yako has released a new version of XD, a tool that adds lots of useful information to the HUD of racing simulations like GTR2 & GTR Evolution.
XD displays all kinds of valuable data including temperatures, wear and advanced timing information. The displayed data can be customized as you wish as the tool includes a well documented .ini file with plenty of variables.

Racedepartment’s Rhys Gardiner has written an extensive preview article on MMG’s Formula One 2007 mod for GTR Evolution.

Pashok33 has released a new version of his British Touring Car Championship 2009 season mod for GTR Evolution, adding one of the most popular national touring car series to the simulation.
The mod includes skins for all BTCC models that are available in GTR Evolution, other models like the Honda Civic or the Ford Focus are not included.
While rFactor has two very popular plugins that improve the simulation’s Force Feedback effects, GTR Evolution and other Simbin simulations rely on the sims’ own effects.
This changes now as Freejrs has spend plenty of time trying to come up with more realistic FFB settings optimised for the Logitech G25, the most popular sim racing wheel.
His new settings promise to deliver more mass transfer feedback instead of solely relying on feedback from the tires. Steering damper and friction effects have been removed to allow feedback from the tires and the suspension without distortion.
The new effects are available for GT Legends, GTR2 and RACE07/GTR Evolution. If you tried them, why not leave others some feedback about the result?
