We are starting to see more mods being developed for rFactor 2, with some particularly exciting mods coming. While (sadly) the GP 2015 mod we mentioned earlier has been cancelled, we have a few more exciting open-wheel mods coming!

First up, we have the Firestone Indy Lights, one of the feeder series for the IndyCar championship. This mod was originally designed for rFactor by Michael Peters, and he is helping with this conversion for rFactor 2. We have the previews of the car in 3DS Max, and hopefully we may see in-game previews soon.

If you saw our latest Sim Car Rankings video, we ranked the CART Extreme mod for Game Stock Car Extreme as our top car as of right now. We have that same conversion heading to rFactor 2, by SCART! They announced this project last year, and it’s been fleshing out quite nicely. Michael Peters and ISI are helping contribute to this project, to help update the mod to rFactor 2 standards. iDT is also working on the 1995 CART season in a mod, and that is progressing as well, with help from SCART.

Other Developments

If you’re looking for some IndyCar action you can drive now, Michael Peters’ 2010 IndyCar mod has been converted to rF2. While it is not fully finished yet, it is in a drivable state, and is quite fun. There is also an included track pack in the thread, which can give you some courses to drive on. (NOTE: Some users have complained about a “grey screen” in the cockpit camera angle. To fix that, you can move the seat position forward.)

If you’re looking for more circuits to race on, SCART is currently working on converting rFactor’s JNS Track Pack to rF2.
