Cars and Tracks Development Project, also known as CTDP, was one of the legendary modding teams for F1 Challenge and rFactor, making Formula One based mods of high quality. After the release of their mod replicating the 2006 Formula One season, they had some exciting projects lined up. However, they dropped off the map, and many assumed that the iconic modding group had died.

Now, five years later, they have returned, and have packed a punch! They not only have announced the International Formula Masters 2009 mod for Assetto Corsa, but they have RELEASED it as well! Yes, you heard right, CTDP has moved to the Assetto Corsa platform for their mods. They used rFactor 2 as a test bed for development, but sometime during the process, they decided to transition over to Kunos Simulazioni’s sim.

The International Formula Masters series was previously known as Formula 3000, and was regarded to as a competitor to the Formula 3 series. It was a stepping stone to the GP2 championship, and used cars made by Tatuus. The most notable driver in the 2009 IFM season was American racer Alexander Rossi, who is striving to earn a seat in Formula One.

You can download the CTDP IFM09 mod for Assetto Corsa here. You need to extract the contents of the .7z files to your “cars” folder in your assettocorsa content folder (see notes below for help finding it). The car will be located in the “Tatuus” brand in the car select screen.
