Virtua_LM has released the Fuji Speedway for rFactor, adding a historical one of Japan's most important race tracks to the simulation. Based on the version released for F1 Challenge, the track has been extensively modified and revamped to make most of rFactor's graphic engine. Included are the 1982, 1990 & 1993 layouts of the track as well as the 1993 bike configuration. GTL, GTR2 & GTR Evolution versions of this release will be coming up soon! 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 ...
Back in December, a new simulation software studio opened its doors as Reiza Studios officially picked up business.

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 ...

Thanks for the video
Is this Katsuo’s version?
Just my opinion but I wish Mt. Fuji could be taken out of the background for this track. Whenever I’ve been there you really cant see it.

I believe this F1mod is a league-mod not available to the public. Could someone confirm that the track used is Katsuo’s 1.23 version ?

Credits to 6e66o first of for such good skills and keeping up with the real driver. If I had to be utterly mean, the only flaw I would say is the stands at a few apex turns near the finish seem a bit too close to the race way, plus the track’s gradients just about the last one or two turns before the finish line seem a bit to sloped. However, these are minor problems and the track itself looks outstanding and the author did a good job at recreating it… props to him for such good work. :mrgreen:

As we all know this shows that sim racing is better than the real thing, they had to add grandstands to hold our fans
