Questo mese in anticipo, il team Studio 397 ha pubblicato il nuovo Roadmap Update di Novembre dedicato allo sviluppo del suo rFactor 2. La prima interessante novità segnalata e già disponibile a questo link, acquistabile per euro 4,99, è la nuova stagione 2020 della Formula E:
QuoteFormula E 2020 Season Release
Just last weekend we saw the ABB FIA Formula E Championship start into its 6th season, with a grid so packed and full of big names that exciting racing was inevitable! Not hyped enough by what happened at the Diriyah ePrix, or missed it? Check out all the action here! Let’s start off with an interesting fact before diving into our actual announcement. Season six of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship is the first ever championship that sees all four German premium automotive brands battle it out on the same tracks, namely Porsche, Audi, Mercedes and BMW. Of course there are even more manufacturers in this season, with Nissan and Jaguar both coming back to strike hard against the German brands.
But enough about the new season. How does that relate to rFactor 2? As you probably guessed by now, we’re proud to continue our relationship with Formula E, and we’re releasing the 2020 season teams and liveries! Intense street racing with quick and agile open wheelers is waiting for you, featuring the new debutantes, Porsche and Mercedes, as a free upgrade to the current Formula E Gen 2 car. Go get it here! And check it out, we also added the top wing cam!
Ci viene poi segnalato un evento simracing dal vivo che si svolgerà il 16/19 Gennaio:
QuoteOn January 16-19th, 2020, the MECC in Maastricht will host the biggest simracing event in the Benelux. In collaboration with InterClassics, Sim Formula will host a 4 day long event, focused on simracing. The event is freely accessible every day. Known brands in simracing will be showing off their latest developments and products. There is also a simracing arena featuring various activities. For example, on Saturday there will be a hotlap competition on Circuit Maastricht (which is freely available in the rFactor 2 workshop if you want to come prepared). On Sunday afternoon you can witness the finals. René Hoogterp, a professional Dutch commentator, will participate in the live broadcast of this race.
Infine arriva la conferma ufficiale riguardo l'attesa beta pubblica della nuova interfaccia utente: è in programma di rilasciarla a metà dicembre. Sarà rilasciata come beta pubblica su Steam, quindi bisognerà abilitarla per poter passare da una release all'altra del software. Entrambe le versioni saranno completamente compatibili in multiplayer.
