Ford Capri Group 5 – New Previews

Posted on July 14th, 2009 in rFactor

Dmatzies and CK73 are working on bringing the Ford Capri Group 5 to rFactor, addding one of the most popular cars of the 80s to the simulation.

Built to the Group 5 regulations, the turbo-powered Capris raced other popular cars of that era, including the Porsch 935 and the BMW M1.

Below are new previews, showing the car sporting the Zakspeed Racing livery as driven by Manfred Winkelhock. The car’s exterior is pretty much done, including the very detailed engine bay, 4 of 9 liveries area already completed. Next up is the car’s cockpit as well as first in-game tests, you can enjoy the previews below until then.

If there was not a dmatzies and Co there would be no Capri at all

I followed the project from the beginning and as i can read German (har har) I knew what was going on
