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.
Com8 has made lots of progress with reworking the Nürburgring Nordschleife in GTR Evolution. Based on the original Simbin version, his 2009 version will contain many changes such as new textures, the removal of all fictional advertisement boards and lots of trackside objects. Below are first previews of the Nürburgring 24 Hour Race 2009 layout version of the track. The 24h race uses a slightly different configuration of the track that does not include the Mercedes Arena corners as these are needed for additional paddock space. Aside from the layout changes, the 24h version of course also features the main difference ...
After showing us plenty of model renders, International Pro-Modding has now released a first batch of renders that show a fully painted car of their FSONE 2009 Formula One mod. We get to check out the fully dressed-up Toyota TF109, driven by Timo Glock & Jarno Trulli. The TF109 was one of the few cars to feature the controversial double-diffuser at the beginning of this year’s season, helping the team to several podium finishes and poles. FSONE 2009 will include all cars and drivers of the current Formula One season which introduced a whole lot of changes to the world championship. [gallery=1671]
CSGT has released their World Sportscar Championship 1970 mod for rFactor, bringing one of the most exciting years in sports car racing to the simulation. WSC 1970 consists of almost 30 different car models, including legendary prototypes like the Porsche 917, the Ferrari 512S and the Ford GT40. Also included are the most famous GT cars of that era such as the Ferrari 365GTB, the Porsche 911 and the Chevrolet Corvette. All in all, this massive mod includes 125 cars from the 1970 Le Mans 24 Hours and the World Sportscar Championship season, all coming with RealFeel compatible physics. A detailed RealFeel ...
Team RMT has released new previews of their World Super GT 2 mod project for rFactor 2, showing us the Ferrari F40 GTE on track. Originally planned as an additional car for the rFactor version of World Super GT, the F40 will now be making its way into WSGT 2. As usual, the car only sports basic textures for its first run, looking pretty gorgeous already though. Aside from the Nissan R35 and the mod's safety car, the team is done modelling all the cars in a pretty rapid pace. Successor to World Super GT for GTR 2, World Super GT 2 ...
Virtua_LM has released a bunch of new GTX5 for rFactor previews, showing us various Lancia Beta Montecarlos at Mid Ohio. We get to check out the Italian race cars at day & night, from the inside and the outside. GTX5 will include the high-powered and extreme racing cars of the Group 5 era which were powered by insanely powerful turbo engines and featured very extensive body modifications. Notable cars of that era were the Porsche 935, the BMW 320 and the Ford Capri which managed to win all major endurance races of that time, including the Le Mans 24 Hours. [gallery=1644]

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.

Dave, can you give me a list of top drivers that race online with iRacing?
Quote Comment
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.

Yes, Kimi gave away his title due to playing FSONE until the silly hours since May ;)
