In terms of content, 2 new protoypes have been added : The Oreca 05 LMP2 (replacing the Lola Coupe) and the Ligier JSP3, adding to the mod the LMP3 category.
The build includes the Corvette C7R (replacing the C6R), the Ferrari F458 (replacing the F430) and the Flat6 RSR Evo (replacing the Flat6 RSR), properties and courtesy from URD modding Team.

The build comes together with a physic update for all the cars, with in particular the introduction of CPM2 tires technology.
This modification has driven an update of all cars defaut setups, so please be carefull with your current setups before making some feedbacks.

Update notes
Removed inside double skin 3d mesh for all cars bonnet glass - with new shaders since last update, is no longer needed.
Fixed dark side windows on 787b, now looks like other cars.
Animated wipers added to 962c and C11.
All wipers are fully operational and clean glass etc.

All cars have new backfire instead of old backfire - thanks s397.
RPM light added to 787b.
Lods made and added for all cars.
Improved mirror mapping on all cars

Rain racing - Please disable reflections in-game when racing in rain due to reflections in wet weather not working correctly on windscreen areas outside of the wiper clean area and because these windscreens have a lot of non wiper area compared to most due to windscreen shape, therefore making it more visible.

Apologies for another template change, it was un-avoidable and had to be done to accomodate rain support properly.

Sorry GT but how does one know if they are not in the know that these are ripped models?
Also I thought RSS was a fairly respected modding team in the community...

This is too good not to post & hopefully I don't get smacked for posting it.

ChiefWiggum has released a first version of his Alfa Romeo Tipo 33TT12 for rFactor 2 modding project via the Steam Workshop.

The Tipo 33TT12 was Alfa Romeo’s weapon of choice for competition in the World Sports Car Championships starting with the 1973 season. Driven by such legendary drivers as Arturo Merzario, Vittorio Brambilla, Jacques Laffite & Derek Bell, the car finally took World Championship honors in 1975, winning seven out of eight championship rounds.

Steam Workshop::Gnoo Blas Version 1.02

This is a virtual historic reconstruction of the Gnoo Blas race track as it was in 1953. The project was organised by Rod Monk of Troyton Racing Simulators and has been funded by Tourism NSW as a promotion for the city of Orange (Central Western NSW, Australia).
The Gnoo Blas Motor Racing Circuit was a temporary race track located in the rural city of Orange in NSW and ran car and bike races from 1953 to 1961. It was the birth place of the Australian Touring Car Championship (1960) which has now evolved into the Australian V8Supercar Championship. It was also the place where Sir Jack Brabham began his road racing career.
Orange is only 40 minutes drive down the road from Bathurst and it was this proximity that arguably led to to it's eventual closure. The public roads that it was run on still exist today with very little change. Anyone can go there and drive around the original circuit layout.
If you are visiting the Bathurst/Orange area make sure you visit the old Gnoo Blas track and experience Australian motorsport history.

crivitzchris has released a new version of his iDT Champcar World Series 2007-2008 mod for rFactor2.
Featuring the Panoz DP-01 open wheeler, the 2007 & 2008 Champ Car World Series seasons were the last chapter in the troublesome history of the Champ Car World Series, successor to the CART championship that was formed after the split from the Indy Racing League in the mid 90s.
Following the 2008 Long Beach Grand Prix, the CCWS and Indycar merged to re-form the united Indycar Series, ending over a decade of competition for open wheel supremacy in the United States.
The mod lets you relieve these closing stages of the Champ Car World Series, the newest update introducing improvements to the car model and more!

37¾ Mile Isle Of Man Mountain Course - Conversion from GPL

This full length "37¾ Mile Isle Of Man Mountain Course" was built by Jim Pearson entirely from scratch over a period of 14 years from 2005.
It is a totally different track to his much earlier "Abridged / Shortened" 20 km version.
It was released by him for the simulation Grand Prix Legends [ GPL ] in June 2019.

Jim's original PDF Readme , release files and three release videos are located here; http://jrpearson.homestead.com/37MileIOMMCRelease.html
The release thread for GPL is located here; http://srmz.net/index.php?showtopic=12928
Note: This track replicates the actual roads existing before Windy Corner and Brandish were opened up with much bigger radii in 2006.

Conversion Credits
Converted to rF2 by S.Victor(Xiang) with assistance from Corti(Andres).
I approached Jim in February 2020 and agreed to the conditions set out in his track Readme PDF [ See above ] He then gave me written permission to convert his track to rF2.
Amongst these conditions were assurances that the permission being granted would be limited to rF2 in this case and that no income would be derived or sought for the conversion.
Jim monitored development of this conversion throughout, providing some useful assistance as required. He has asked me to include his assessment of my work as follows;
" When approached by Xiang earlier this year, I was encouraged to grant him permission to convert my 37¾ Mile Isle Of Man Mountain Course GPL track to rF2, as he appeared to me to have the right combination of skills, dedication, high standards and respect for the original work that I was looking for.
My faith in him has been richly rewarded, as he has persevered to overcome many of the real technical difficulties inherent in translating a very complex and lengthy GPL track into a quite different rF2 rendering and surface model.
He has surpassed my expectations and I believe the results display and drive as well in rF2 as they do in GPL, the sim it was originally tailored to. I hope you enjoy the fruits of our collective labours and show due appreciation of Xiang's work on your behalf.
Credit is due!
Jim Pearson
October 2020. "

Track Info
Length: 60.72 KM / 37.75 Miles
Two configurations:
- Mountain Course,
- Mountain Mist, [ Which is the same track, but has patches of Ground Fog and Mountain Mist replicating two options available in the GPL track. ]
Max vehicle: 48
Real road (0.9-1.0m density) & 2.7%(10cm) crossfall
Hundreds street lights
Out lap timing support

Detailed conversion notes & recommended settings please visit: https://forum.studio-397.com/index.php? ... gpl.67535/

Thanks to Jim’s extensive assistance and support, as well as every friends’ help!

Not sure of the source or if it is original but thought with the Melb F1 GP on this weekend some of you might like to try it.

Check this out & if you wondering what lengths this guy has gone to & wants to get to then watch his youtube vids (latest below).

What boggles me is the lack of safety features back in 1985, which doesn't seem that long ago to me (but it really is).

FVR Supercars 2023

This is FVRFactor's representation of the 2023 Australian Gen 3 Supercars. These cars are a whole new build, new models and physics, as these cars are a mile away from the old Gen 2 supercars. Our Camaro build was in February 2021 with some prelim work starting in Oct 2020. From this timeline you can see this has taken a huge amount of time and effort from Flash(Jeremy) and Feralarri(Gavin) to get this mod to fruition. Fresh Scratch built 3D car models from Flash, with some fantastic interior modelling has seen a whole brand new experience brought to you to enjoy racing in rFactor 2. As many of you know this has taken over 12 months to get it this far. (We anticipate over 1000hrs from both of us to get it this far).

The 2023 season has been painted faithfully as of approx Round 1 2023. It also contains the Zane Goddard Wild Card entry and the two Homologation cars from Pre Season Testing. These are seperated in the car listing so they can be chosen if you wish. AI class for main season is 'FVR_V8SC23'. To add Wild Card select also 'FVR_V8SC23WC' and if you wish to use the pre season cars tick also 'FVR_V8SC23H'. Templates will be available for you to paint your own body and window versions.

Interior wise the cars have paintable dash and advertising boards through templates for your use. Also driver suits and helmets are paintable to suit your own livery.

Tuning Menu now has limited options, with Position LEDS set permanently on and FFB set for the car. The brake bias is settable in 0.1 or 0.5 increments. There is a brand new incar dash which conatins most of the race info you would need. In addition there is three other alternate dashes to try as well. We also included two variations on camera eyepoint for driving eg. Triple Screens or Single screen(should be good for VR as well).
FFB can be adjusted in game now for individual cars from the Gear Icon in top right hand corner, under 'Calibrate controls'.

The diff ratios and tyres are locked for the Australian tracks to mimic the real race requirements. There is a Server Edition (LE) with open diffs and tyre combinations for online racing. Please be mindful these cars run a spool diff which means a fixed axle unlike your normal cars. Therefore you can get extra wear if you are too hard on them and they can tend to try and drive around in a circle at low speed corners. You have to be smooth. They do use an S397 tyre with small grip changes however the diff will make them unlike a GT3 car. We can assure you they have been driven for hours and hours.

The new physics have been renewed from top to bottom. Engine power is down to approx just over 600HP, still at 7500rpm. We have completely reworked suspension settings as the new car has a slightly higher C of G now with the new fuel system of 133 litres. We have used a slight variation of the 2020 FVR tyre( this is the one everyone seemed to like) although 2023 uses the soft tyre for most of the tracks this year compared to the hard tyre in the previous season. We have used the new sound profiles to achieve a better sound experience, so we hope you enjoy it. However it is still currently running last years engine sounds as we have not had enough time to perfect new ones but we do hope to in the future( we have done it this way to endeavour to get it to you to use without taking more time to deliver).

There has not been a lot of AI testing done so for those people who single player race, please give constructive feedback if there is any major issues bearing in mind that sometimes it is variations in the track that causes the issue rather than AI itself.
Any issue's painting or with the mod please drop us a comment in discord or FB and we will try to answer when we can.

Please enjoy as we have enjoyed bringing this to you
