You might want to consider this beauty a first true release. We got data and we've used it. It is almost a scratch built car in terms of physics. The road side has had quite a few changes, but the oval side is where you should be able to feel the biggest difference. Enjoy.

Changelog: (link)
Physics / Setup
– Fixed fuel tank capacity.
– Fuel tank position corrected (slightly lower and further forward)
– Allowing both compounds during race.
– Added ‘weight jacker’. Garage only at this time.
– Brand new CPM enabled tyres.
– Better undertray points.
– Better fuel estimation.
– Better ride height ranges and defaults.
– Caster range now 4-10 as per real life.
– Accurate suspension geometry that varies between oval / road course.
– Tyre pressure ranges more realistic (as are defaults)
– Updated trackconfigsbase.ini to have proper layout names for Mountain Peak and newer tracks.
– Minor Turbo error correction.
– Aero corrections for both speedway and road courses. (Main change is more accurate and higher downforce for speedway config)
– Recalculated brake system & restricted brake bias range.
– Improved unsprung masses.
– Added wheelbase options, the primary purpose of which is to adjust the weight distribution. 119″ is ideal for speedways, 120″ may be ok for road courses.

– Allowing stiffer springs.
– Now using spool differential (locked axle).
– Increase in chassis flex.
– Min brake ducts now have MUCH less cooling, Max similar.
– Brake Duct drag and lift reduced (so penalty is a little lower).
– Steering system updated.
– Opponent sound attenuation increased (so other cars are slightly less audible).
– Steering ratio corrected (default, options not available yet).
– Very slightly less sensitive to turbulent air, Auto-shift tweak (AI)

Il team Slow Motion ha rilasciato per rFactor 2, con licenza ufficiale della casa, la nuova Palatov Motorsport D4. La vettura è disponibile in tre diverse configurazioni: custom, track day e cronoscalata.

Superb work by Third-party SLOW MOTION GROUP (full credits on profile link). They bring you this fully licensed Palatov D4, including AWD Hillclimb configuration, from PALATOV MOTORSPORT LLC. The car comes with three main configurations: Custom, Track day and Hillclimb. Though there are additional engine and tire options.

We're very happy to bring you this spectacular classic car to rFactor 2 - free - as always. This one is special. We feel that you'll find this a worthy challenge and ultimately could find a level of enjoyment from this car that you may not have expected.

Description

The AC 427. One of the most iconic cars, and in many ways notorious. While possible to tame, it was known as the "Cobra" for a reason, it would bite back. A gentle touch was thus needed to handle this car. Having some 485hp in S/C state, with street legal tire technology meant that wheel-spin was almost always possible. In fact, it wasn't until 4th (the tallest gear) before you could, with reasonable confidence, apply full throttle.

On account of the engine having incredible torque, some 650Nm of torque from 3500 RPM, the 4-speed seems more than sufficient to accelerate the car from any speed. The S/C also features stickier rear tyres than fronts to keep the car stable, but the professional driver may find mildly understeery mid-corner, of course the right pedal is easily enough to overcome this at-will. The car also has very good stopping power featuring ventilated discs at the front and solid disc rear brakes. While tricky, this can be one of the most rewarding rides around. In S/C form, this was about the fastest road car of it's time and has only since been matched by the most exotic supercars beginning in the 90's.

Configurations

We carry two configurations:

The street tires are designed for the driving enthusiast. They should be easier for most people to drive.

The competition tires are wider, a softer compound, thus have more grip, but they are a little bit edgier on the limit. The competition tires do not exhibit the understeer that is present in the street tires either. They are designed with the racing driver in-mind. The competition version of the car also has adjustable springs and dampers.

Il team Reiza ci mostra nel video di anteprima visibile qui sotto il prossimo tracciato extra in arrivo per il suo Game Stock Car Extreme: si tratta della storica pista di... Bologna. Indovinate di quale tracciato stiamo parlando...

Recreating a historic track is as close to art as one gets in sim racing development - beyond the relative scarceness of reference material making it very challenging to evaluate the measures of the track and its surroundings, there is also the elusive quality of "atmosphere" - recreating the feeling of being in a time and a place that is no longer. Our track team goes to great lengths to not only recreate these historic tracks as accurately as possible, but to capture that elusive quality. With Bologna Historic they have done their best job yet! Enjoy a few intense racing laps against an AI field of Formula V12s. Coming up next for Stock Car Extreme:

Dopo il Circuito Internazionale d'Abruzzo di Ortona, il Circuito Internazionale Napoli di Sarno, il nuovissimo Adria Karting Raceway, ecco arrivare oggi il quarto kartodromoo extra del Karting Tracks Project, avviato da DrivingItalia in collaborazione con Laurents "Lauzzzn" Hörr, per il simulatore Kart Racing Pro di PiBoSo: in esclusiva, direttamente dalla nostra area download, potete scaricare il nuovo Circuito Internazionale di Viterbo, dal quale sono stati catturati questi screens di anteprima. Per commenti in merito fate riferimento a questo topic del forum.

Inoltre per tutti gli iscritti FORS Drivingitalia, un server dedicato è già online con le 4 piste! Potete inviarci una donazione via Paypal, per darci il vostro supporto ed aiutarci a sviluppare ancora nuove piste.

Il bravissimo Woochoo ha rilasciato per rFactor 2 la nuova versione aggiornata 0.98 della stupenda pista storica di Longford del 1967. Come vedete dagli screens di anteprima, si tratta davvero un addon imperdibile.

Brabham-Repco BT20 v1.6 Changelog:

– Added Jack Brabham and Denny Hulme AI drivers.

Physics

– ModelWheelsIncludeAllTireMass’ fix / enhancement.

– Moved to ultra chassis (with Chassis Flex).

– Inertia’s recalculated for total body and for individual parts (such as brake discs, etc).

– Revised suspension geometry from scratch. Pushrod locations are also using the new method and which should give accurate motion ratio’s throughout the entire range of travel of the suspension.

– Dampers and springs revised to match.

– Reduced maximum steering lock so that tyres would not intersect suspension parts.

– Moved over to new steering system.

– Tyres scratch made. The old ones were slightly too wide and rear radius was too low. Also the effect of real road on these old tyres has been reduced the tyres also have a lower wear rate.

– Numerous minor AI correlation tweaks.

– Tweaked undertray locations and added one more point.

– Brake system completely recalculated based on new data (the effective Brake Bias is ~57% front on default).

– Differential now allows preload adjustments.

– New tyre parameters included for wet weather added.

– Engine life tweaked.

– Minor fixes.

Sound

– Using new sound internal / external attenuation variables and scrub individually to tyre sounds.

Graphics

– Brand new historic driver, completely from scratch.

– Added individual driver faces for a more authentic feel.

– Graphically corrected front rims to 15″, front tyre radius slightly reduced. Tyre widths also slightly adjusted.

– Brake discs corected to 11″ (F/R)

– Steering wheel mapping update

– Shaders update

– Various textures updated

– Holes in the back+under car body fixed

– Minor LOD distance tweaks.

– Included additional liveries by our test team.

UI

– Class name now occupies only 1 entry in vehicle filter list.

– Category now starts at manufacturer to be more consistent with other cars.

Il team ISI ha appena pubblicato tramite social network due nuovi screens di anteprima della Nissan GT500 GT-R, ormai di prossimo arrivo per rFactor 2. Potete visionare le immagini e discuterne a questo link del forum.

E' inoltre in arrivo un aggiornamento anche per la Brabham BT20, con migliorie alla fisica, alla flessibilità del telaio ed alle gomme da bagnato.

We finally have the Nissan GT500 in-sim, and now that some core updates are nearing completion, we can start to push out a number of cars previewed in the past. The GT500 is obviously a Super GT car and it's very likely we'll be able to source another license in the future to give it some on-track competition. Obviously, like all official ISI content, this car will be free when released.

Forse manca poco al rilascio? La Kunos Simulazioni ci delizia questa sera con due spettacolari immagini di anteprima che ci mostrano cosa ci attende con il prossimo ed atteso Dream Pack DLC in arrivo per Assetto Corsa.
