Dopo averlo visto in esclusiva per la Le Mans Virtual Series ecco che arriva l'annuncio ufficiale: il Bahrain International Circuit verrà rilasciato il 7 Novembre su rFactor 2 come parte del drop Q4 2022.
Il nuovo DLC però non includerà solo il layout Grand Prix che conosciamo e che abbiamo visto nella LMVS, ma avrà altri 3 layout aggiuntivi: l'Endurance Layout, l'Outer Loop (già visto in F1 nel 2020) e il Paddock Layout
QuoteHello sim racers,
The first of our Q4 2022 content announcements is here – and we are starting off with a big one – the very first laserscanned version of the Bahrain International Circuit in rFactor 2!
Now, you may already have seen this circuit in action during the recent Virtual Le Mans opening round, however, what you haven’t been told yet is the new DLC of this track comes with a little more than ‘just’ the main variation – that’s right, in this new release we are packing together not one, but four different configurations of the track for you to enjoy within rFactor 2!
The new DLC, available as part of the Q4 2022 content release for the simulation, will include the Bahrain International Circuit, the Endurance layout, the Outer Loop and the Paddock configuration – four very different challenges, and four unique tracks that we are sure you will enjoy in all of their laserscanned glory this November!
An FIA Grade 1 listed track, the Bahrain International Circuit is one of the most imposing and impressive facilities on the current Formula One schedule, as well as a significant venue for the world of GT and endurance racing. With the rich, if somewhat short pedigree as a premium racing location, it made perfect sense for us here at Studio 397 to pursue a licence agreement for the track, and now, thanks to the hard work and development efforts of the rFactor 2 track team, we are delighted to be able to bring the very first fully laserscanned version of this impressive track to a modern racing simulation.
Having initially been commissioned by Bahrain Motor Sport Federation honorary President, Crown Prince Sheikh Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, to become the home of the first Middle Eastern Formula One Grand Prix, famed circuit architect Hermann Tilke elected to develop in the middle of previously unoccupied desert land, allowing the German engineer scope to create a circuit without restrictions – resulting in what many regard to be one of his finest creations in modern motorsport.
So, at 5.412 km and featuring 15 turns, how about we take a look at the beautiful Grand Prix layout in a little more detail…
