Team Players and iDT have been working hard at completing the Grand Am 2006 mod for rFactor, using the leftovers of what was supposed to be Fusion Racing’s Grand Am game. Initially, the group planned to have the mod out in time for the Rolex 24 at the end of January. Several things made them miss this goal though, for the benefit of having a better mod in the end.

Instead of just cleaning the files up and releasing what was there, Bob of Team Players and Dave Henrie decided to give the cars a complete overhaul. Since then, the models have been reworked, a brand new suspension has been done and cars will have unique physics and engine files
The mod is getting closer to final testing and will contain more than initially planned. You´ll not just get the Daytona Prototypes but also a full field of Porsche 996 GT cars, using GSMF’s PCC 996 model.

In some screens you`ll notice the name “Grand Slam”. This is an alternate name for the mod because of naming rights issues with Grand Am. Thankfully, those have been resolved and the mod will sport the name of the real life racing series.
