    Very nice news guys! certainly been wondering whether there was ever a mod made of the old ATCC/Proto-V8 Supercar days.

    This mod will be released on rf1 first to give you all a taste of what you can expect. Including the open beta. rF2 still requires so much to do animation wise, and with rf2 no doubt going to see changes which may require modders to re-do parts of their work, we're not very keen on having to work on the same things multiple times. So for rF2 we're waiting to ensure that its brought out as perfect as possible. rF1 will be a good place to show what you can expect, get feedback on the dry physics etc.

    Well, to be honest from the RF1 content only HistorX comes very very close to the driving feeling of RF2 now. But it is still a ton of fun and i still drive it regularly. I am really looking forward what these guys will pull off in RF2.....

    Every now and then I fire up rF1 to drive a mod I miss, and just can not seem to drive more than 1 - 2 laps.

    Seems rF2 has killed my older sims lol.

    Might be better to give out a demo of some kind for rf2?

    If possible?

    Its possible we could release something with less features then what rfactor entirely allows and then build continue updating and building it further as rf2 expands and finalizes its features, but that would need to depend on a few factors, the most important being the community realizing that the mod being in beta form and not 100% is due to rf2 not being 100% final. There is a chance driver body models would be lacking in the first open beta.

    But if the community is interested in an rf2 beta version which expands with rf2 over time and with the communities feedback, then post your interest here and the team will weigh it up and discuss it.

    I'm all for rf2 beta instead of rf1 because I can't drive rf1 anymore after spoiled with rf2.

    Absolutely would love to try a beta version!! As someone who leaves steering wheel off anyways, that wouldn't bother me one bit :)

    I would gladly beta test it !
    anyway a beta of a mod on a beta sim seems legit to me!

    definately interested in an beta. We could already test the core-functions of the mod. That is the driving feel, the graphics and maybe the sounds. And of course we could already have massive fun ;)
    Think of it this way: with releasing the mod to RF1, you practically do the same thing or worse as releasing it in RF2 as beta: Not all of the sophisticated functions are implemented, but the overall driving feel will be much better in RF2.

    If you ask me i would rather take a beta RF2 version with some limited features which will expand over time (like every RF2 content does at the moment, even feels3's tracks) than have time invested in an RF1 version.
    I think the community will be aware of the beta status and the feedback will be helpful....

    So be it, I will have my guy begin implementing the new updates over to rf2 once some bugs we found via placing them in rf1 are fixed and we'll release them to you guys asap. I'll keep you posted.

    Glad you have decided to release a beta of your mod for rF2 Petros. I am sure there will be quite a number of people who will enjoy what you put out, even in beta form. I just hope you don't let the nay sayers get you down as you know that there will be some once you have released a beta.

    As for the beta, I am sure there will be tire issues as that is not finalized with ISI so can't be for mod creators either. I am just curious however as to what else might be limited in a beta version. I have seen the models and the paint work that has been done so far and am quite impressed, so if only the drivers arms, legs and hands are missing I am sure we can put up with that ;)
