Team GTR4U and friends have released their FIA GT 2008 mod for GTR2, the result of ten months of community work. The mod brings the complete 2008 season of the FIA GT championship to the simulation, including all cars that competed during the season and the flagship 24 hour race at Spa.
The mod is a complete package with plenty of features such as new physics, sounds, loading screens, helmets and driver suits and much more. Visit the download link below to get to the files and detailed installation instructions.

This is a very nice mod. Cars in GT1 class handle nice and are now more close to one another in terms of lap times, so it’s great to be able to drive the MC12 proper.
Issues:
1. Aston Martin sound. I don’t think anyone can handle a race with that kind of sound. It’s just wrong.
2. Corvette C6.R brake lights don’t work.

I don’t know what kind of driving model these guys built – if it’s simplistic or a good solid model – but if this is any good, I could almost see GTR2 remaining as a solid mod platform for awhile for the FIA.
Right now, the original simbin (slightly mad) are engaged elsewhere, and the *new* SIMBIN seem consumed with a middle ground between real series and “equalized” series, with many real endurance features missing.
We’ll see, it will be funny if GTR2 turns out to have GPL type lifespan.

I agree, I just wish that when they’re done with Race’07 addons, they will release a GTR3…
The problem is: Porsche and Ferraris…

I personally don’t like Race, Race07 and GTR Evo, I just can’t “feel” the car, so I’m pleased when there’s a good GTR2 mod available.

One, quite big, problem: In this mode Vette C6R has that bug with “Gauge needle” in screen’s upper left corner…

Great job guys. But didn’t you have the permission to use the WSGT Aston Martin?

Sounds can be swapped out easily. It’s all subjective.
As for the C6-R brake lights, apparently the mod team is aware of this issue and will fix it shortly.
