rFactor 2 – Content Updates!

Studio 397 has updated part of the content of rFactor 2: 3 new layouts for the Nürburgring, endurance version of the Porsche 911 GT3, improvements for the Nissan GT500, which now looks like the latest content, a small arrangement for the Aston Marting Vantage GTE and improvements for the Reiza Pack. Let’s take a look at the details:

Nürburgring

First we’ve added the three new layouts we promised for the Nürburgring:

Sprint

‘Sprint’ is a short version of the GP layout, it detours the Ford, Dunlop and Audi curves, and instead swoops back quickly transitions into the Michelin curve. A great layout for quick races with high down force!

Sprint No Chicane

Same as the ‘Sprint Short’ version but with a more flowing last sector. The chicane is replaced with a more flowing S style turn that making it a bit less technical. Also great for slower classes and quick sprint races, as the name implies.

Endurance

This is the monster layout you all have been waiting for. Used religiously in endurance series, this is one of the main events of the modern Nürburgring / Nordschleife calendar.

Porsche Endurance

The Porsche 991 GT3 Cup gets an exciting update! The Endurance Package, kitted out and ready for full attack on the Nordschleife.

The Endurance package consists of different dampers and 2 sets of softer springs, compared to the Supercup specification. The Endurance package also comes with ABS system and aerodynamic package: front fender flares + rear wing 10 mm gurney flap and restricts the engine power output to a nominal 413 PS. Additionally the Endurance package also comes with a possibility to refuel the car, with fuel tank capacity lowered to 95 L, compared to 100 L with the Supercup specification. The car also weighs 30 kg more.

We’ve also added a couple of new shiny liveries, notably one that our very own René Buttler drives!
