CTDP’s Formula One 2006 has gotten lots of praise for possibly being the best Formula One mod for rFactor ever made. But how does it stack up against reality?
Judge for yourself by watching Giuseppe Pellegrino’s excellent comparison video as Michael Schumacher takes us around Monza in both CTDP F1 2006 and in real life.

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 ...

Virtua_LM has released new previews of another stunning track creation for rFactor, showing us new shots of the Japanese Fuji Speedway in late 80s specification. Located near the famous Mount Fuji in Oyama, Japan, Fuji Speedway was opened in 1963. The track was a popular venue for sports car races as the track was part of the FIA World Sports Car Championship for Group C prototypes from 1982 to 1988. Even though the track was slowed down with two chicanes during the 80s, speeds on the track remained very high thanks to the 1.5 kilometer main straght - The longest in motorsports. [nggallery ...
Alless has released his Audi R15 TDI for GTR2, adding Audi's current Le Mans Prototype challenger to the simulation. Introduced in 2009, the R15 is Audi’s second Diesel prototype for the Le Mans 24 Hours. The V10-powered car won its debut outing at the Sebring 12 Hours but failed to match the speed of the Peugeot 908 at Le Mans, making it Audi’s first LMP since the R8 that has not won the 24 hour classic at its first attempt. The R15 features several revolutionary aerodynamic elements, some of which caused a big controversy in the sports car world as competitors Peugeot ...

Look at the cockpit. The angles look wrong by the wheel.

That’s in all F1 mods, so I think it’s a problem with rFactor.

Pretty good effort by CTDP, although I don’t think it’s perfect. And despite it being a pretty crap era of F1, it’s a pretty good mod.
But man I hate the sound of the traction control kicking in. Ugly.
As for wheel movement, in replays the wheel movement is pretty limited. In replays it doesn’t relate to how far the wheel moves when actually driving, never mind real life

The camera problems (like everything seeming too thin and far away) is caused by rfactor not having a fisheye effect lense which makes everything feel and look closer.
