rFactor 2: 1967 Formula 2 Mod

[VELOCIPEDE]

We’re very pleased to announce the 1967 Formula 2 Mod for rFactor 2.

The 1967 European F2 season was the first using the new 1.6 litre engine formula and would establish the dominance of the Cosworth FVA engine in the class. Prominent chassis constructors such as Brabham, Lotus, McLaren, Matra, Cooper and Lola were all represented in the class throughout the 10 race season.

During the 1960’s, many established Formula 1 drivers would compete in Formula 2 events. However, the two tier championship structure meant that “graded” drivers were ineligible for points but were able to compete for wins. Graded drivers that competed in the the 67 F2 season included Jack Brabham, Denny Hulme, Jochen Rindt, Graham Hill, Jim Clark, Bruce McLaren and John Surtees.

Though the championship was won by Jacky Ickx (Matra) followed by Frank Gardner (Brabham) each with 1 win, the season was dominated by graded drivers with Rindt (Brabham) taking 5 wins with Clark (Lotus) and Stewart (Matra) taking 1 win each.

This mod will include 3 unique cars and their drivers of the 1967 European F2 season:

Brabham BT23 FVA
Drivers: Jack Brabham, Denny Hulme, Frank Gardner, Jochen Rindt, Alan Rees, Robin Widdows
