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 ...

Furthermore, the game includes all of the series rules including the two-race format used on race ...
The third installment of Turn 10's Forza Motorsport franchise brings over 400 cars and 100 to the Xbox 360, aiming to create a new benchmark title in terms of console driving games. Can the newest Forza give Gran Turismo a run for its money and is the title something sim racer should consider? Read the review to find out. Back in 1997, Kazunori Yamauchi and Polyphony Digital single-handedly created a new sub-genre of racing games by releasing the first Gran Turismo. Bringing over 170 cars to the Playstation, GT introduced the concept of car collection driving titles, starting an impressive success story. The ...
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. Launched in 2007 after a problem-ridden season with the initial RS Spyder model, the Evo proved to be a big success, clinching Porsche countless wins in the American Le Mans Series, the Le Mans 24 Hours and the Le Mans Series. The first service pack will be introducing several new models to Endurance Series, including the Peugeot 908 and Audi R10 diesel sports cars, the Acura ...
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. The shots show us what could very well be the most stunning cockpit in any PC simulation ever as no detail has been spared on the Super GT car's interior. Successor to World Super GT for GTR 2, World Super GT 2 will bring some of of the most legendary GT cars of the 90s as well as Super GT GT500 class machinery to rFactor 2. [nggallery id=1958] Via BSR

i seriously hope that one day, these die hard GPL guys will consider trying a newer sim and bring their nostalgic racing era over.. GPL is good, but they basically modded it soo much, its hard for a new comer to get into it.

Seriously, I’ve just reinstalled GPL only for this track: now I have to find proper upgrades and then I’m done. ^^

What an incredible preview video of this amazing work of this immensely important track of grand historical proportions. You can almost feel the summer heat from the mountains of Sicily near Palermo. I especially love the vintage footage at the end. Be sure to watch the deleted scenes vintage footage that hit the editing floor as well. Hopefully someone or team is making a scratch one for rfactor too. Conversions are o.k. but nothing like an original, as proven by this one specificaly made for GPL. It may very well turn out to be it’s crown jewel.

Will this be converted to rFactor? I’m thinking, logically, yes, but just to be sure…

That preview video is ASTONISHING.
This is stunning work. Probably the most impressive track I’ve ever seen built for a PC sim.
Take care,

Release Date? Conversion to GTR2? Why was such an important track made for an old sim like GPL? I don’t have GPL and can’t find a place to get it or download the full version anywhere on the internet. Is someone out there going to convert this to an updated sim such as GTR2?

You can get the free updated 2004 GPL Demo here:
http://www.bhmotorsports.com/GPL/downloads/3239
(Asuming the track will work with the demo, not sure though)
This track fits perfectly into GPL,
and the community is very much alive.
But yes,
i too hope the track will be allowed to be converted to Gmotor Sims.

OK listen up you youngins. Everything you need for GPL is on these links I’m about to post here. Read up a bit and install GPL with the GPL installer or you’ll never get any of the mods working. Here is the page for the GPL installer, which is absolutely essential for anyone who doesn’t know how to install and update/patch GPL. It’s not that hard to get into this sim, you just have to know where to go for resources.
http://gplps.org/wb/pages/projects/gpl-installer.php
Tons of GPL links and info…
http://gpltd.bcsims.com/?ir=Links
And also, a nice little google search I compiled for people who want to search open web servers for GPL files, though you can use this method to search for anything…
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&num=100&q=%22GPL%22+last+modified+rar+%22index+of%22+-html+-htm+-php+-asp&btnG=Search
Have fun messing with the search terms on that, I always run across something exciting when searching with the -html -php ect. ect….
And never forget, GPL started it all. Yeah, there are newer sims, and this track is definitely worthy of being ported to them, but given my experience in the GPL community, I can tell you right now: don’t count on it. GPL is STILL an amazing simulation today and I’ll always love firing up those beasts and marveling at how men drove these death traps as if they had one day left to live.
Cheers to the most legendary simulation of all time! GPL FOREVER!!!

GPL installer is for people who already have GPL on a CD. I have never owned GPL. This does not really help. And the link given by goose08 does not have a download button, or if there is one I can’t find it because it is in French. Anyone out there have a definite link to a clean fully updated install of GPL? It would be nice to have GPL when this Targa Florio track is released so I can drive it since it looks like it will not be converted to GTR2 anytime soon. Release date anyone on this? Thanks.

I really don’t think it’s legal to download GPL regardless of how old it is. It is on that page, though. You just have to find the right link.
Furthermore, it’s 10 bucks. And it IS for sale. It’s not hard to find a copy.
Also, do you really need to have GPL updated FOR you? I mean c’mon, it’s not brain surgery dude. It’s simple. The information in the links I gave basically does everything short of holding your hand.
