Yeah that has been out for quite some time now. I thought they had stopped working on it but that could be just rumour.
Just a rumour. We haven't made much progress with the mod on the rF2 engine yet though. We have a few cars ingame but we're not really committed to finishing them as long as a lot of rF2 features are not finalized yet. There's no point in working on things like shaders now if we have to redo them at a later date because they've changed. Right now we're just waiting to see which direction rF2 is doing and how it improves, while also evaluating other options like Assetto Corsa, before we can make more in game progress. Any progress we make now is in the modelling and texturing department, which we can use for either game engine.
