It has been nearly a year since UnitedRacingDesign released the last update for their Payware Endurance Racing X mod for rFactor 2. However, URD is hard at work on the next update, to show that the mod is far from dead. One of the cars that will be added as a FREE add-on is the Chevrolet Corvette C7.R, which was also featured in Assetto Corsa’s Dream Pack 1.

The Corvette C7.R is the latest generation in Chevrolet’s legendary line-up of race-bred Corvette race cars. The C7.R was developed alongside the C7 Corvette Z06, and shares some design attributes. The car is quite popular in the GTLM Class in the Tudor United SportsCar Championship, and narrowly missed out on the 2014 Championship.

There is no word on when this car will be released, but I’m assuming it will come with the next update for the EGT5 mod. The next update will also bring a WIP version of the Nissan GTR LMP1 race car. To learn more about the upcoming content, check out the thread in the rFactor 2 forums. Are you looking forward to getting behind the wheel of the Corvette C7.R in rFactor 2?
