We are very happy to announce updates for our GT1, GT2, GT3 and GT4 category cars. This includes the Nissan GT-R, Corvette C6.R, Chevy Camaro and Nissan 370z. Updates to all our cars come for free.


We highly recommend reading the profile pages for these cars. This will give you details on how each car behaves: GT-R,C6.R, Camaro, 370z.

Older versions of the same car should be uninstalled before attempting to install the new versions. To install simply drop the new files into your rFactor 2 packages directory, and use the mod manager to install.

Download these new versions from our cars page.

The Corvette is really nice. I did some back to back testing with the 2009 and 2010 engine in Bahrain and they are quite diffrent, but perfectly driven the diffrence in pace should be really small.
The 2010 is a bit quicker in a straight line and driveability is really nice with less torque and higher revs. The 2009 lacks a bit of top end, but has nice grunt out of the corners, but was lot harder to master on braking and corner entry and of course on exit. In some faster corners it felt better, because you could get some additional rotation from the rear with that amount of torque and the immediate push out of the corner feels better.

Btw you now have to blip the throttle manually on downshifts, which is nicely implemented. You need to find the balance between blipping enough to keep the rear stable, but not blipping too much to avoid longer braking distance and putting extra load on the front tires while braking.

Top job on that car. I think a lot of people should take a second look at it bzw. I upped FFB multiplier from 1.00 to 1.50, increased caster a bit and used 360° of rotation as the steering lock is now reduced to 18.5°.
