I am always thinking of ways how to improve this blog. While I very much enjoy running it, I want it to be as much enjoyable and useful to all of you. So instead of just introducing something without knowing if its wanted, I´m just asking you.
Below is a poll with a few options of features I have thought of in the past. You can choose two options, I am very much open for something different – Please use the comment feature for that.

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 ...

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 ...
Alless has released his Audi R15 TDI for GTR2, adding Audi's current Le Mans Prototype challenger to the simulation. Introduced in 2009, the R15 is Audi’s second Diesel prototype for the Le Mans 24 Hours. The V10-powered car won its debut outing at the Sebring 12 Hours but failed to match the speed of the Peugeot 908 at Le Mans, making it Audi’s first LMP since the R8 that has not won the 24 hour classic at its first attempt. The R15 features several revolutionary aerodynamic elements, some of which caused a big controversy in the sports car world as competitors Peugeot ...
Even though Codemasters announced that their Formula One 2010 game will be revealed to the media on March 17th, first details have now been disclosed via the Official Xbox Magazine. The four-page preview article includes first-ever preview screenshots of the upcoming game, showing various cars in action on several tracks. Also included are first previews of the game's impressive wet weather effects. As mentioned in the article, the previews show 2009 season cars as placeholders because the brand-new cars of the upcoming 2010 season aren't ready to be shown off yet. It's unknown whether or not the title will only contain the ...

Enjoying your site for quite some time now, I’d really appreciate, if you could offer separated RSS feeds for each game, ie. one feed for rFactor, one for GTR2 etc.
That way, it would be a lot easier and more convenient to keep track of all those nice add-ons that keep pouring in.
Besides that, keep up the excellent work … :)
Cheers,

Would be nice if the games were more separated – I e.g. only look for rFactor stuff

@Ole
you could easily use the link in the top left corner for browsing rFactor-only stuff
http://www.virtualr.net/category/rfactor/
I’d prefer to have as a separate RSS feed though

Nice to see so many people participating :)
A seperate RSS Feed for each category should be no problem at all, I will look into that tomorrow.

I would enjoy more detailed reviews of the mods, perhaps in the comments section, by the user community. rFactor Central’s Hall of Fame ratings and comments sections are too corrupted by petty jealousy among mod makers, etc. Keep up the great work at this site — it’s a daily visit for me!

Good point Paul. I can only encourage everybody to write comments, whether you agree with my opinion or not.
I really enjoy reading other people’s opinion here and I’m sure most readers feel the same :)
