Formula Ford – Two Preview Videos

Posted on February 8th, 2010 in rFactor

Global Motorsport Technologies, creators of such popular tracks as Vanport and Putnam Park, are working on a Formula Ford mod for rFactor.

Below are two preview videos, showing the entry-level formula racers in action at Vanport.

Established in the 60s, Formula Ford cars are used in the several national series around the world, aiming to provide young drivers with a cheap base to start racing. Formula Ford cars are powered by 1.6 liter engines and use steel space-frame chassis without any aerodynamic parts to create downforce.

wow… that cockpit looks brilliant! I like the textures on the gloves too. When mod teams pay attention to the cockpit textures it really adds massively to the immersion. bravo.. for your efforts so far.. can’t wait to drive these.

These previews are mightily impressive, really looking to the release. The sounds are also spot on – the external sounds in the second video are exactly like the real thing!

exactly what i’m thinking! I loved the idea of TOCA RD3 (but not the implementation) and would like to basically rebuild it using rfactor cars/tracks.
