Team LMT has released their first ever public mod for rFactor, bringing Ferrari's F60 Formula One car and the 2009 version of the Singapore Grand Prix to the simulation. Driven by Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen, the F60 was Ferrari's take on the new rules introduced prior to the 2009 Formula One season. Despite being equipped with the promising KERS system, the car failed to make an impact on the world championship. Along with the car comes the 2009 version of Singapore, Formula One's first ever night Grand Prix. The team's first public mod for rFactor was helped by many modders who ...

Enduracers have released a first batch of previews of the upcoming Service Pack 1 for their popular Endurance Series mod for rFactor. The previews show the Porsche RS Spyder Evo LMP2 prototype in several paint schemes.

Following a first batch of previews released a few days ago, Team RMT has now released new previews of the Honda NSX Cockpit in rFactor where World Super GT is running for testing purposes.

Oh dear Lord, why would anyone want to, Codemasters. took a game franchise that while it was no where near a simulation did provide some online thrills. But this is the worst driving game I have ever experienced – the neon engine powering the physics is just laughable, NFS Pro street has better handling and that is really not saying much! If their aim was to build up the user base then I cannot see it wowing the sim world or the arcade world either it is just a poorly thought out concept – leaving out the 2 biggest reasons why people bought the original game V8 supercars and DTM to replace them with a very poor Drifting sectionand Lemans series – Way to go Codemasters. One last thought the HDR is also appallingly overused – This game is as enjoyable toothache – do yourself a favour – don‘t bother using your bandwidth for the detritus. All you websites and magazines who gave this good reviews shame on you!

I totally agree with you.
GRID just sucks. Worst driving experience ever, even the graphics are bad, because the HDR is too much…
I´m glad I haven´t bought that piece of s*** :mrgreen:

Dear oh dear… I had the misfortune to download the first demo in a state of mental weakness…
Ran two corners and dumped the whole bloody lot in the trash. Talk about getting too big for your boots. Guys, please don’t forget that it’s the people you are doing these games for (and I use the word ‘games’ most saliently as it is definitely NOT a sim racing program). You talked about taking the next big leap forwards. Sadly without realising you were on the edge of a precipice to start with.
Next time, why don’t you foist pointless and done to death sub-genres on us…
Oh, hang on a minute – you did! You schmucks.
