Ferrari F430 Challenge – Preview Video

Apex Modding has released a first preview video of their Ferrari F430 Challenge mod for rFactor.

The video takes us around Spa Franchorchamps in a F430 Challenge car, both from cockpit and exterior view. Enjoy!

  • tigeraid

    wow, love the sound. :shock:

  • Pugamall

    Looks Better than the ferrari challenge on the PS3 !!

  • http://racingrenders.com F1Racer

    Looks and sounds great !!

    Where do you get a Spa07 track for rF ??? All mine have the old Bus Stop.

  • DeDios

    it’s in WIP..;)

  • Dave Ellis

    Onboard sound is nice. Externals sound a bit samey and meh, but internals are what count :D

    Who done the physics for this, if you don’t mind me asking? :)

  • http://www.digital-racing.net Ryan Gilmore

    F1Racer – Apex modding are building both the car and track :)
    Onboard sounds really nice. Externals yeah are abit meh.

    Just wish they would do the GT2 version of this car.

  • Forza

    Why this F430 has Renault Twingo wheels’ size ?? :shock:

  • Lemon

    yeah twingo wheels that’s it
    cockpit looks even more horrible than the NAGT’s one (at least the rest of the mod is top notch)
    and physics seems to feel like a broken legend car filled with rocks with drum brakes….
    and please apex team,could you make the real F430 after this “pickpup” version?

  • DeDios

    Forza…are you a troll? :neutral:
    Wheels, body, and all you can see are built with real reference files and data..(directly from Challenge events..)
    same for physics, tires, aero……and yes we have some “special” feedbacks, so….. :wink:

    but, if you don’t like it, go out,stop talking, open your 3D studio/wordpad, and start your F430 challenge mod :lol: i’m just waiting!! good luck for your work!!

    ps…sorry for my poor english!! :)

  • http://www.apex-modding.com Olisoft

    Lemon, the physics are developped with real F430 drivers and real data from teams. It’s not possible to be more realistic!
    For the wheels, it’s the real one. A Ferrari racing wheel isn’t a wheels with radio and cruise control commands. Sorry but we aren’t making tuning car mods with pretty shining wheels, neons or other irrealistic stuffs, there are other games for that ;) …

  • Lemon

    you just have to look at the way the car lock its brakes , the way it rolls thru the corners and how the back react…
    it’s just an insult to Ferrari like the 288gto(or should i call it 288gt o”american spirit musclecar edition”) mod was

  • Forza

    Troll ? Sure I’m not.
    I’m just used to go on tracks and to see these cars.
    Just go on tracks and look at real race cars ;)

    I say that to help you to see your mistakes.
    If you prefer to be blind and insult people who try to help you – never mind ;)

  • Yoss

    lemon : please !! don’t donwload the mod when we release it we save time , place in hardisk …
    if you need some help for modding please take the email of Forza and make one mod together .for sure i want see screenshoots after..

  • steve

    they pro . they know what they do . but you know just dont take it serious apex . its a replay in the video that is why its look like . im sure this will be a great mod . thx for the hard work .

  • steve

    dont leave here your energy with stupid people . thats internet . every dumbass can leave here a comment .

  • Destroem

    ..the WIP is the WIP ..you can not judge something that does not show anything done…
    Sounds are WIP
    Textures are WIP..blablabla
    We can not show nothing without having this kind of ridiculous feedback

    you judge too quickly

    the 288GTO was not perfect,it’s true..but give me what to do a patch..

    you judge and do nothing ,come on our forum..

    thank you for your messages

  • http://racingrenders.com F1Racer

    Ryan: So does this mean that this mod and the track will be released together ?
    That WOULD be really nice.

  • cicciopinto86

    For lemon: you’re not obliged to download the mod because everyone can choose what we like!
    This is the real good quality of rfactor…for example i hate nascar but i don’t think the modders on nascar sim series are bad…
    For DeDios: stai realizzando tu Spa layout nuovo? Magnus ha ritoccato già qualcosina e nn è male!

  • DeDios

    @ciccio: no :grin: ci stanno lavorando i ragazzi di Apex Modding!! :D io sono un betatester ;)
    ho visto la versione di Magnus, davvero ottima, però non è legale…questa sarà legale al 100% essendo from scratch!

  • http://www.digital-racing.net Ryan Gilmore

    @F1Racer – not a clue mate. I’m not part of there modding team. I just know about it as I checked rFC WIP’s and know that both the car and track are being developed :). They also have a FIA GT3 mod if I remember correctly thats in development.

    @Montoya – I can’t remember if you shown it but these guys released a video towards the end of August of this year showing a complete lap of there C5R (i think it was that) and the spa2007 track. I’m sure the link is on the tracks WIP page.

  • Ciccio

    @DeDios: Ottima sorpresa ci voleva Spa con i contro *****…ricorda di allacciare le cinture mentre fai i test :lol: ciao

  • http://www.digital-racing.net Ryan Gilmore

    Heres the WIP thread for the FIA GT3 Mod. I was wrong it was the Z06GT3: http://rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=FIA%20GT3

    Heres the video by them showing the Z06GT3 around a full lap of there WIP Spa 2007 track: http://www.megaupload.com/fr/?d=IBG2JBJ2

    And finally heres the WIP thread for the Spa 2007 layout:

  • govy

    Pfffffffffff :sad:
    another Ferrari ruined by this modding group IMHO
    anyways i’ve contacted ferrari licence service to see what they think about that..
    we’ll see in a couple a days

  • Peter

    another ferrari ruined? How do you know when it hasn’t even been released.

  • http://racingrenders.com F1Racer

    govy, you’re a tw@t. Ferrari licene service ? What kind of laughable crap is that.
    Oh yeah I can just imagine that you’re so pee’d off and put out by this mod from seeing a video that you just gotta put your foot down and get something done about it.
    oh please oh please Ferrari, stop these people from ruining your great cars !! Help us, save us ! This has to stop right now!
    Right ?
    pah! I fart in your general direction.

    What kind of times are we in where people can just make a damn mod without people tearing them to shreds or slinging mud at them because they personally feel put out by something that is not only optional to download, but free and not even made public yet.
    Jeez get a life man.

  • devil_inside

    govy : take a look on enduracer screenshoots in home :http://www.virtualr.net , i think you need to contact again ferrari license service ….

  • stabiz

    I feel sorry for you, govy and devil_inside. Seriously, your lifes must really suck.

  • Peter

    lol this guy is a joke. I really wish their was a way to stop idiots like this from posting.

  • Thade

    Ciccio intanto parla sia in italiano che in inglese essendo in inglese questo sito.

    Ciccio, write both Italian and English being the latter the written language in this site.

    The one who drives in the video sucks as much as I do… :mrgreen:

  • Ranieri

    Is there any moderation in this site ?

  • http://www.virtualr.net Montoya

    Yes it is, but I prefer to not get involved as long as you guys keep it clean :wink:

  • motor_live

    @ govy: you’re really ridiculous!stay in your roost please

  • APMF

    Contacting Ferrari License Service :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: OMG that gotta be the funniest thing I have read for a long time here

  • DeDios

    @ thade: sorry for italian language! :) we were talking about Spa 2007 WIP by Apex Modding…;) so, no problem about it..

    Well, about some replies here, IMHO it’s REALLY, repeat, REALLY sad to see some bad posts…..incredible, really, why work hard months, years in a mod if you can see, before release, some replies like as govy, devil, and other guys??? specially about one video…..incredible, and just sad…

    If you don’t like this video…ok, no problem, but please respect work of modding groups ok?? we’re working hard for to give you one REAL ferrari F430 challenge mod..i’m italian, i’m a ferrari lover, and…i love this mod…..we’re working with feedbacks and DATA from real challenge drivers, model it’s done by real photo..so….. please stop talking about physics, model, sound and other stuff….it’s in WIP, and, most important IS NOT RELEASED OK??

    really really sad :???:

  • Thade

    Having admistered for a good two years a forum DeDios still frequents, Montoya’s choice not to full-force moderate the comments is both good and risky.

    Good luck. ;)
