Announcing Indy 500 Licensing for rFactor2

Hi folks,

We haven't previously announced licensing in any kind of official capacity, but I didn't feel passing up this weekend was a good idea, so we've made an understated post on our Web site, listing what we have so far.

There is also an early development screenshot from the building of the track in the post. IMS is expected to be released after Silverstone, which is in the later stages of production now.

Thanks,

Tim

 

Nice set of cars to!

 

Impressive!

Will Indy Road Course be in a configuration that is used by GrandAm now and F1 before? Or only MotoGP version? Or both?

 

Great timing....you've ensured that rFactor 2 will be the only racing game I purchase in the foreseeable future, and not the awful looking Grid 2....

 

Great news, for the oval and road track and the many cars associated

 

All current (2012-2013) configurations.

 

Great news! and Renault license extension it´s great too.

 

Great news about the cars ! About the track, does it mean that there's no apron version for example ?

 

(use Merge Threads Tim )

Good to see ISI/Tim took notice of the "News" thread and actually used the website news section for once

Great news about INDY and the cars, had a sneaky suspicion when Tim went there last year so well happy they got the license done.

Also on the news section:
ISI is pleased to announce that the agreement with Renault for rFactor2 licensing has been extended.

Current vehicles available include:
Formula Renault 3.5
Renault Megane Trophy II
Renault Clio 197

The extension allows us to keep these files available for download on our Web site, and gives further options for cars to add to the product in the future.

again...good work Tim looking forward to future updates and whatever ISI produce as extras.

 

Wow all the older cars too, last time i played a Indy 500 game was this

 

We actually do have the option to create historic versions of Indy under the terms of the agreement. We will have to make a decision when the time comes.

 

With the modern Dallara DW12 license that is the modern chassis correct? Will we see any of the real teams/drivers?

License is amazing can't wait for the track/cars

 

This is what happens when you have a facility that appreciates it's fans.

 

Yes it is, and possibly.

 

Thanks ! I'd never have thought they would.
I guess I have one less track to work on

 

Will the DW12 be made with both the road and oval aero configurations? They are so drastically different its practically a different car, from a visual perspective.

 

As per another thread Tim, does this mean a decent Oval Specific AI is being worked on? or will it be just the base code tweaked for Oval so to speak?

 

Yes, as will the Reynard if we can get data (which we should be able to).

 

Don't know about that yet. There has to be some modification I would assume.

 

Most excellent
