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.

Great to hear from the team again Marc! Thank you very much!

Finally finally somebody tells the truth and kills the TC myth:
Traction Control Usage:

The TC is activated with the F8 button by default, you should assign this to your steering wheel.

The use of traction control is something currently totally misunderstood in Simracing. Several leagues forbid it because it's too easy to drive with. But this is not reality.

The traction control is a multiple choice button often found on steering wheels of the real cars in order to setup the level of TC. So, in real races, the driver can change it on the fly, going from no TC to full TC when the track requires it.

So all servers should allow the TC at all levels and let the driver choose the one he wants to use.
 
OUTSTANDING readme, Marc!!!

Very well done. If every modder could follow Enduracers example, rFactor would be so much more than it is right now (and it is so good already).

You guys didn't even released the 1.0 and I'm already waiting for the 10.0. :)

Thx a lot!!!

:plus1: Agreed!!

Figured they were taking a break in anticipation of possible bug fixes, etc. that might crop up after release.

Man, I have been soooooo looking forward to this mod. Looking at that "Read Me" notes.....you can pretty much figure that no detail has been left out. This is a pretty incredible mod team!!
 
I prefer not to use TC at all in any car.. however I don't mind if others racing use it because in my own testing i'm faster with it disabled or on the lowest setting so I don't see it as any advantage.
