GP2 2008 Mod – Change of Plans

Posted on August 17th, 2008 in rFactor

Those of you waiting for the planned demo of Emerico’s GP2 2008 Series mod for rFactor can stop as Emerico has changed his plans a little.

After getting a lot of feedback from real GP2 series drivers, Emerico has decided to release a 0.9 version of the mod quite soon that will contain all cars and drivers and the physics created before the driver test. Version 0.9 is planned to be released this month.

Version 1.0 will include reworked physics based on the real-life data, higher quality skins and realistic helmets and is planned to be released in September. Below are the newest preview shots, giving us a close-up view of the steeering wheel.
