Reigning Formula One world champion Kimi Raikkonen was in Abu Dhabi a few days ago, promoting the 2009 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
While on site, Raikkonen got the chance to test a virtual version of his F2007 race car – using the FSONE 2007 rFactor mod. This makes the Finn one of the most famous drivers to ever check out a simulation and Codex and the whole FSONE team should really be proud of it.

Jessica, Darin & Shaun of InsideSimRacing.tv were recently joined by Image Space Incorporated's Gjon Camaj who visited the guys for an interview in an upcoming SRT episode. ISI's head-honcho did not come empty-handed though as Camaj showed off rFactor 2's user interface for the very first time. Below are six screenshots of the interface, showing off what looks like a major improvement over rFactor's much criticised UI-system.Taking a closer look, the screenshots reveal some very interesting details as the task bar gives away the version number used by Camaj for the presentation - 0.783. Also, we´re starting to get an idea on the ...
About a year ago, Team NLC announced a sucessor to their popular VLN 2005 mod for rFactor, planning to bring the 2009 season of Germany's popular racing series to the simulation. For almost twelve months, the team has been quietly working in full force on their massive project and is now able to present us with a very big batch of renders to show off their progress. The renders show twelve different car models sporting various liveries. While some models like the Renault Clio or the Mini Cooper S have been converted, others have been equipped with new parts such as the ...
As promised, Codemasters have just released the first of their developer diary videos, introducing us to some of their staff and showing off first-ever moving footage of F1 2010 for the PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Footage in the video has been taken from a pre-alpha version of the title that was shown-off in London today, showing us some gameplay action at Monza.

Virtua_LM has released new previews of another stunning track creation for rFactor, showing us new shots of the Japanese Fuji Speedway in late 80s specification. Located near the famous Mount Fuji in Oyama, Japan, Fuji Speedway was opened in 1963. The track was a popular venue for sports car races as the track was part of the FIA World Sports Car Championship for Group C prototypes from 1982 to 1988. Even though the track was slowed down with two chicanes during the 80s, speeds on the track remained very high thanks to the 1.5 kilometer main straght - The longest in motorsports. [nggallery ...

I’ll tell you what – you go create a F1 mod and get the current F1 WDC to use it – then come back and tell us how you really feel

erm.. “JUST” a promo event ?
Is it not enough that a sim racing community mod was used in this event and that the current world champion Kimi Raikkonen sat there and played it ?
I’d say thats a pretty big deal.
As a casual mod maker, how do you even top that ?
Having Michael Schumacher come to your house to give you personal feedback on your mod would top it.
So yeah it really is an accomplishment so give credit where its due.

nice job FSOne mod group!
However iRacing has on a daily basis many real world drivers racing it online..yet everytime anything is posted on iRacing all the euro whiners come out. How about showing some respect for all the game makers and getting any real world drivers to participate.

Jacques Villenueve, Dale Earnhardt Jr, Joey Lagano, Bobby Labonte, Alex Ardoin, Martin Truex Jr, Brad Keselowski, Alex Gurney, AJ Allemdinger, Alex Gurney, Joao Barbosa. All have driven or are driving in iRacing.
Here is a quote about the current testing of the upcoming Craftsman Truck.
Ian Berwick, iRacing’s vehicle dynamics engineer, thanked the Chevrolet teams and drivers whose input has helped the virtual Silverado’s performance accurately match that of its physical counterpart. “Having access to the race truck itself, as well as the performance data, has been critical to producing a virtual-world duplicate,” he said. “Our testers, who are drawn both from the simracing and real-world racing communities, are pleased with the developmental version we’re running now internally. Our members can be confident that the Silverado they’ll be driving in the simulation will be just like the real-world one.”

Wow, do the iracing fags ever think to leave a post alone?
No they do not. Euro whiners?
As a very American individual, I’ll calmy say. iracing is a great sim. No doubt about that.
I enjoyed it for the brief time I paid for it. But the lack of pickup races and lack of worthwhile content along with many missing features, and poor car selection leaves me with a choice that was easy to make. Can it and come back if it grows. But as the numbers show, its bound to flop.

Anyone else thinking about the David James (football, gaolkeeper) and his lack of form blamed on playing too much console?
Yes, Kimi gave away his title due to playing FSONE until the silly hours since May ;)
