Image Space Incorporated is very pleased and proud to announce the licensing of Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Dallara DW12 Indy car for its rFactor2 racing simulation. The historic facility and new Indy car will join an assortment of historic vehicles from the Indy 500 to be added freely to the base product as their development is completed. The licensing will give racers the ability to simulate as many different eras of competition as possible. Where possible, ISI will continue to work to license additional machinery.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Located in Speedway, Ind., and opened in 1909, this 2.5-mile rectangular oval is the home of the Indianapolis 500, Brickyard 400 and also includes an infield road course used by sports cars and motorcycles.

Dallara DW12
After winning the right to produce the next-generation Indy car in 2010, Dallara set about designing a capable replacement for its older Indy car. This car, initially named the IR12, was later renamed to DW12 in honor of the primary test driver, two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dan Wheldon. The car features a number of features intended to encourage safer racing and has been the sole chassis used in IZOD IndyCar Series competition since the beginning of the 2012 season.

Reynard 95i
Driven by Jacques Villeneuve to victory at Indianapolis and a CART championship in 1995, the Reynard 95i was capable of incredible speeds. The shape and speed of the car in both oval and road course configuration represent an era of racing still loved by many fans.

March 86C
March Engineering dominated the Indy 500 in the mid-1980s, with the 86C filling most of the field for 1986. This iconic car took Bobby Rahal to victory in 1986 and Al Unser to his fourth Indy victory in 1987.

The 1987 Indy 500 victory was quite a feat. Unser drove a year-old 86C which had started the month as a show car in a hotel in Pennsylvania, to his historic victory.

Eagle Mk4
Bobby Unser and Dan Gurney finished one-two in the 1968 Indianapolis 500 using the Mk4. An evolution of Gurney’s Formula One beauties, this car is a perfect example of the pre-wing era at Indianapolis.

Cooper T54
Often forgotten, the Cooper T54 is the car that started the rear-engine revolution at Indianapolis. The car, driven by F1 ace Jack Brabham in 1961, was the first rear-engine car to really impress, managing to finish in ninth place despite significant teething problems.

Watson Roadster
A.J. Watson’s cars dominated the late 1950s and early 1960s, refining the ideas of the time to produce the ultimate front-engine roadster. The 1960 example drove to a one-two finish in the hands of Jim Rathmann and Rodger Ward after a classic duel.

Jack Hawksworth (98) and Sebastien Bourdais (11) will be our licensed liveries in our DW12 release. Cheer them on for supporting sim racing!

We are still working on the car, planning to release this weekend, if we can.
An interesting thing to note, perhaps, is that we have two different engines here. While we have decided to make the car itself the same, the engines will drive differently. One may be better or worse at particular tracks, and also better or worse depending on driver styles. A very interesting aspect to this release that I'm going to be interested to see the community enjoy.
The KV preview is on the roadcourse, and shows Bourdais. The BHA preview shows Hawksworth on the oval coming out of turn two.
