Endurance Series by Enduracers

[klo-che]

After 3 years of work, Enduracers and the Gentlemen Racers are happily releasing the 1st package of the Endurance Series mod for rFactor. It will give you the chance to simulate the best endurance racing experience ever seen in a video game. Cars from ALMS, LMS and the Le Mans 24hrs are scheduled for this mod. Audi vs Peugeot, Aston Martin vs Corvette, Porsche vs Ferrari...

For this important mod EnduRacers has chosen to work in packs. After the initial release including the mod base and first pack of cars, Enduracers will release frequent "Service Packs", adding new car models, sounds, physics and skins. That is why the mod can be classified as "evolutive" and will live and grow continuously after the initial v1.0 release.

Don't forget to read through the readme carefully, you will find a lot of important information in order to use the mod in the best possible way. Don't forget that the mod is very big, and that this is endurance. Don't judge it by doing 2 laps with 1 car, take your time to learn it and really appreciate it.

Well I've just bought rFactor on ebay, been trying for weeks... & now I've read all of this thread I think I'm going to have to pay my mother a visit & use her net connection (40Mbps instead of my crappy 0.5 Mbps)

But can someone confirm please, to get everything in this mod, is it the
Endurance Series mod by Enduracers - v1.2 that I need to get everything? or do I need to download other stuff as well?

 

[Ryan Callan]

You would need SP1 aswell.

This file - http://virtual-f1.com/GTL/Enduracers v1.2+SP1.7z - has both 1.2 and SP1 included - just extract the files to your main rFactor folder.

 

[Deane Cockerill]

Thanks for that...

 

[Adam Jonas]

That's ok, I found it, but some of the links here don't work, and which is work, it's just for premium users (for example, at Megaupload), or it's very slow (250 MB estimated download time 60 minutes!!! ).

 

[Bradley Vanian]

Great Mod. One of the best.

1 - INTRODUCTION
EnduRacers Modding Team is proudly releasing the Service Pack 2 dedicated to the Endurance Series mod for rFactor. This package is the last release of the team on the rFactor platform.

The introduction of 2 cars adds to the existing grids more diversity. The Lamborghini Murcielago is a great addtion to the GT1 class, a new opponent for the Aston Martin, Corvette and Saleen monsters. On his side, the Oreca FLM09 has become in the last 2 years an important figure of the ALMS and LMS grids, allowing young drivers to perform on the highest level possible. In the mod, the car will allow you to learn the prototype driving, can it be during Oreca FLM races, or integrated in full Endurance Series races.


rFactor 2 around the corner...
2012 will be an important year for simracing with the release of lot of new games, in particular with rFactor 2 new modding platform. The team has not decided yet if they will use rFactor2 or not to release new mods. Waiting for that, we would remind to people that it is (and will remain) forbidden to convert our mods (or part of them) to the upcoming rFactor2 platform, and that we won't allow these conversion to anybody (if decision is made to continue our work on rF2, we will transfer by ourselves the existing cars to the new game).

Thank you to respect this statement.
