    In English it it called the draft, and in rF2 it is excellent. When you race the WCR 60's cars at Brianza 10k it is like a demonstration of rF2 drafting.

    Good news regarding this license. I'm not really into oval racing or any of the cars listed but this is good for rf2 all the same.

    The Indy Road course is what I'm looking forward to out of this.

    ha ha ha I just" ahem" got this the other day, I was trying to do some 67 68 era skins for the eve and brabham, but now I can wait for the eagle template.
    I couldnt for the life of me think why, with all the Gurney eagle mods over the years, why there wasnt an Indy version. No need to wonder now..............just a Lotus turbine car next please :p

    Is this just the oval configuration of the cars or the road ones too? For example I think the modern indy cars have 2 aero kits 1 for ovals 1 for road courses? Correct me if I'm wrong.

    Super excited about the March. The late 80's and early 90's were the most exciting period for IndyCar racing and there is no representation at all for them currently. Well done, Tim, and well done ISI.

    lol why would they bother to licence a dead championship (less than 10 cars these days) ? They have F2 for that anyway :|

    Another question for Tim: will the Eagles feature all 4 engines? Turbo offy, Ford quad cam, quad cam turbo, and stock block? Now that would be pretty awesome!

    Hi Tim and ISI, I want to extend a big congratulations and thanks for this exciting announcement! This is BIG news, especially for the open wheel rFactor-ites. I can't say I'm a fan of the DW-12, -love the front half but the 'hips' are gag-worthy-, but I'm pretty sure I'll take a greater interest in it as I take it for a spin at Mills. I hope the DW-12 in rFactor will in turn rekindle some love for the Indycar series as well.

    Of course, I'm drooling over the 1995 Reynard, however, what also served as a big hook was the 1986 March. Do you think we'll see a high-downforce configuration? I think the car would be great around Palm Beach.

    Kudos to Tim & his negotiation skills as well to IMS(and Indycar) for seeing the marketing potential and giving us some more fun. Cut my sim teeth on Indycar Racing & Nascar 2003 and had many enjoyable times all those years ago. As baked bean illustrated, rF2 is light years away from what we had to endure. Merci, ISI etc.

    I offer to help in the development comopiloto test cars to help physically cars in indy if necessary. Count on me for everything related to pilot the cars on the track oval indy 500, indy 500 watched all since 1987 until today and has flown all simulators indy that existed. Can I help testing mainly intelligence AI on the track there than in most of the games have always had many flaws.
