If you enjoyed the old MGM movie, Grand Prix, we’re sure you’ll enjoy this “movie style” promo video featuring rFactor 2 in work-in-progress beta testing stage.
Grand Prix racing in the 1960′s was a mixture of bravery that bordered on recklessness and, contrary to what many may say, innovative design and technology, far from primitive, which led Formula One to where it is today.
It was an era when the human eye, instead of a computer and a wind tunnel, designed a beautiful car. It was an era where spectators and drivers were only protected by bales of hay, which were often more likely to attribute to a fire than to save you in an impact.
Risks were taken and lives were lost, but the romance of the era still remains been the target of software developers, TV documentaries, and Hollywood movies. Many, including those of us at ISI, consider this space in time to be a golden age in the history of motorsport.
The first in-game/sim screenshot of rFactor 2 released to the public was of a road lined with trees, a house on the right and a truck parked in its driveway. This, barely recognizable to us as the same track now, was the first indication that ISI were trying to do something different.
We have licensed content from the modern era of motorsport for multiple types of racing, but also have licensing deals for real content from the first four decades of Formula One (some in the initial release, some to come later). We’ve done this because this is what we love and this is what we want to bring to the racing game/sim community. We want you to be challenged by our software, to be challenged rain or shine, day or night, old or new, and what better track to challenge you than the streets of Monte-Carlo?
rFactor 2 is the first sequel of the rFactor series. Its development was announced in March 2009, and the game will include weather effects, reflections, and accurate shadows on a variety of textures. rFactor 2 will be announced in 2011.
More about the rFactor 2 simulation can be found in our rapidly growing rFactor 2 forums and don't forget to pay rFactor.net a visit.

Too bad, that again this video is labeled as "exclusive". I hope they will not block RD from viewing this embedded video this time.

A little disappointing that they have done this indeed, I don't see why ISI would want to limit the audience and in effect segregate thier loyal followers by the community they use????

That is mind blowing i am deffo getting this. 50's ,60's and 70's licensed cars when F1 was still in its infancy and it was man against machine to win.
I don't think that ISI has to worry about any sales. This game is not really competing with out of the box titles. Genre of its own in my opinion.
