iRacing 2.0, the most significant new build in iRacing history, is here in time for 2011 Season 3. Brimming with new features and content, iRacing 2.0 truly represents the dawn of a new era for iRacing. Topping the list, of course, is the new tire model. Years in the making, the NTM’s remarkably authentic performance is a watershed development in online race simulation, one that will revolutionize the sport of sim racing. Of course, the first phase of the NTM has been available for some time on the new Class B Impala, and will be fully integrated into the iRacing service throughout Season 3. We’ve continued improving the NTM on the Class B Impala and our new virtual rubber will also be installed on the COT, Chevy Silverado and Skip Barber F2000.

But that’s just for starters. iRacing 2.0 features two new high performance sports cars, the iconic Ford GT and the incredible HPD ARX01 which, with the existing Corvette C6.R , will be part of our first three car, multiple class series.The Ford and the HPD cars will feature the new tire model (the Corvette will follow suit later this season), making six cars equipped with iRacing’s NTM right from the get-go of Season 3. The remaining cars on the service will be released with the NTM over the course of season just as soon as we are finished with them. iRacing 2.0 also boasts two exciting new tracks: Iowa Speedway and Suzuka Circuit. Iowa Speedway is America’s (and iRacing’s) newest speedway oval while Suzuka, our second track in Japan, is our first anywhere with an active cross-over feature.

Additional new features include tournament (aka “heat”) racing and web chat. The tournament feature is an extension of hosted racing that enables multiple hosted sessions to be linked together, with the results from any given session used to determine eligibility for subsequent rounds of the tournament. Web chat is a refinement of the member site myRacers feature, one that will enable members to chat online with mutually selected friends in real time. New tire model. Ford GT. Iowa Speedway. HPD ARX01. Web chat. Suzuka Circuit. Three car, multiple class racing. Tournament racing. All this and more make for the single most dramatic leap forward in history of iRacing. Make that iRacing 2.0.

The most immersive, action packed simulation racer hits the app store this August! SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED for mobile features a deep career that has over 40 events, 40 cars including the Pagani Huayra, local multiplayer over WiFi or Bluetooth and the all-new Helmet camera view.

This past weekend at Formula Drift - Throwdown, we were lucky enough to get hooked up with a couple iPads that had the game on it. After we finished setting up the Team Need for Speed Electro Lounge I took some time to check it out and had so much fun with it. The game is awesome! It looks great and is super easy to just drop in and start playing. The controls are so finely tuned that I had no problem putting in a competitive race the first time I tried it. I enjoyed it so much that I was reluctant to put it down for other people to play. If you're a fan of racing on your mobile than this is the game for you.

In addition to all the great features listed above, SHIFT 2 for mobile also features full vehicle customization, online leaderboards, tons of tracks & locations all with multiple track configurations, and best of all, when you register for Origin to unlock the leaderboards you'll also be hooked up with bonus in-game cash and all-new exclusive cup events!

SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED for mobile will be available in August on iPhone, iPad Touch and iPad. It's also available in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, and Korean.

Oltre all'aumento del tenore simulativo e delle variabili, che in termini di comportamento dei veicoli erano già parecchie nel capitolo precedente, rFactor 2 introdurrà nuovi mezzi, tra cui anche i go-kart, e nuove modalità tra cui spicca la Formula 1 storica giù attesa da molti fan della serie. Comunque per il lancio dovrebbero essere pronte ben sette diverse serie, e relativi veicoli, che sono: 1960's Historic Racing (include sia veicoli aperti che con il tettuccio), stock car racing anni '70, Renault Megane e Clio, Modern Endurance Racing (molteplici classi), Open-Wheel Trainers, Formula Renault 3.5 e Formula ISI.
