Champ Car 2007 - New Previews

iDT has posted two new previews of their Champ Car 2007 mod over at rFactorcentral. The mod will be bringing the full 2007 field of Panoz DP01 Champ Cars, simulating the final year in the history of American open-wheel racing’s oldest series.

The mod is quite far progressed, with some liveries, LODs as well as tires and rims still to be made. Also, iDT is looking for someone willing to create a safety car for the mod. Think you´re up for the task? Then head over to idtsimulations.com and let them know.

iDT Puts Modding Projects On Hold

Just minutes after posting the Indycar 1995 previews, news comes in that iDT has put their rFactor mods on hold immediately. A certain member of the community has leaked confidential iDT stuff in a very fishy forum, upsetting the team that puts so much hard work into their projects.

This decision affects both the Indycar 1995 and Champ Car 2007 mods, two projects that looked to be a very promising addition to the rFactor world. It’s hard to understand why people leak stuff that does not belong to them just for a few minutes of questionable fame. Stuff like that hurts the community and is a slap in the face for all modders who deserve our respect for giving us countless hours of driving fun.
