Hello sim racers!

Refreshing that ALL the teams will be represented. I wonder how January 'would' have gone had S397 been able to announce and release all of this PRIOR to Christmas. Will the P2P & Weight Jacker be open so modders can insert those features in other series that use them?
 
The new INDYCAR IR-18 is set to release to rFactor 2 as part of a large content drop on Monday, February 7th 2022, alongside the previously announced Daytona International Raceway and Ligier JS P320 LMP3 – plus one more announcement to come!

any guess on last reveal before february 7?
 
Fantastic car. I was especialy delighted to read, that there will be all teams and drivers included. One thing I would like to see is the version without the aeroscreen added and the older DW12 recieving an update aswell. I hope that I didn't read "superseding" as removing that car from the sim. Don't forget that you can conserve cars that aren't raced anymore in the virtual world. There is a reason why people still fire up GTR2. :)
 
3rd mod project "killed" this week. Though its great S397 are makings these cars and tracks, but I wish somehow S397 would silently contact those modding teams who are making what S397 have in near pipeline, to avoid this. I think these modding teams would respect the secret, if they were informed about it, and take the opportunity to shift in other directions.

If the contracts and papers have been signed that say they can’t, then they can’t.

Trust me. I wish that the 3PA system would make a return. That way both modders, S397 and us players would get all the positives from it.

However, it is slightly risky to mod things that the rF2 owners have a license of. Of course, there was no guarantee that IndyCar would show up in rF2, but it's not a big surprise. Daytona has been rumored for a long time as well. Granted, I must admit I thought it wouldn't happen when it didn't get released pre-Rolex 24. The LMP3 one was a bit more "out there" as it is not a part of WEC.
I would assume that modern BTCC cars, and possibly the Le Mans Hypercars/LMDh(GTP) is a slightly risky thing to mod as well, as I wouldn't be surprised if some of that content finds its way into rF2. Especially the hybrid-stuff. I think this is the best way for Motorsport Games to test out these things before the "main games" get released.

I would expect TCR, GT4, Historic content, LMP1 and these things to be "safe" to mod in terms of not getting official DLC with it.
