CART Factor was one of the all-time greatest mods for rFactor, prompting projects to convert it to other racing sims. One notable example was CART Extreme, which has featured some of the original developers working on the mod. Now, it has been released for Game Stock Car Extreme, giving you the full 1998 CART season of cars to race!

This is not a simple copy/paste conversion either. This mod has seen a total overhaul, to bring it to Game Stock Car Extreme standards. The sounds have been redone (I thought they couldn’t get better… I was wrong!), and the physics have improved to make the cars’ behavior more realistic. The mod has also received a fresh coat of paint, with quite a few graphics improvements.

CART Extreme features all the teams from the 1998 season, spanning four different chassis types. If you’re looking for an authentic experience, you can find 1998 versions of Long Beach, Fontana, Vancouver, and Laguna Seca as of this writing.

I’m going to do an impressions video, and put this car on the “Sim Car Rankings” board. For an early impression on the mod… “Why do you think I was late getting this post up? ;)”

Have you given CART Extreme a spin yet? What are your thoughts? Let us know!
