Team HistorX has released new previews of their upcoming rFactor mod, revealing one of their new scratch-made cars by showing us five shots of the BMW 2002.

Build between 1966 and 1972, the 2002 was not just a very popular street car but also successful in racing competition. Many well-known BMW racing teams made their name racing the 2002 including Schnitzer Motorsport and Alpina.

Using GT Legends as a base, the Historic GT & Touring Car mod for rFactor proved to be one of the most popular releases for the simulation. The second version of the mod will be bringing many popular racing cars from the past to rFactor, including the Ferrari 330, the Porsche 904, the Aston Martin DB4 and many others.

 

About a year ago, Team NLC announced a sucessor to their popular VLN 2005 mod for rFactor, planning to bring the 2009 season of Germany’s popular racing series to the simulation.

For almost twelve months, the team has been quietly working in full force on their massive project and is now able to present us with a very big batch of renders to show off their progress.

The renders show twelve different car models sporting various liveries. While some models like the Renault Clio or the Mini Cooper S have been converted, others have been equipped with new parts such as the Porsche 997 GT3 Cup S or the GT3 Cup MR.

To top it all of, the renders include four brand new car models that have been created from scratch for this mod, including BMW’s new E92 M3 GT2, the Audi TT 8j and the spectacular Ford GT.
