Possible championship mods

[Josè Arrogantio]

I would like to try a fast single seater in GTR2 if possible,

I would try that option if it happens..

Me too, I love the F1 09 mod for GTR2

If we're sticking with rFactor, I'd recommend the Formula BMW mod for it. It's easy enough to control to have close racing without having to have invincibility switched on, yet they're still a challenge to drive at the limit. They work very well with RealFeel, so the FFB is equal to GTL at the least.

Formula BMW

Tooooooooo slow!

That's a horrible mod, the excitement and the feel is one of the worst IMO.

So you'd rather have something that's so fast that any close racing is impossible?

No, he'd rather have something which isn't so slow that he falls asleep down Hangar Straight.

I gave this a blast round Spa and managed to keep it on the fast bit, which is a big improvement over CART for me. However(and I hate to admit it after all my negative comments about rF) this mod looks awful and just doesn't seem to sit well with GTR2 IMO.

As expressed earlier, I too believe that (certainly for me) a progression towards the faster mods is the better option for open wheel racing, as indeed it would be in real life. While initially it might seem a little pedestrian for some, I think in the long term it would promote closer and more competetive racing for everyone.

I had another blast on Race07 F3000 and honestly can't see any negatives about this series as a good intro to open wheel. Maybe a trial race and see how people feel?

As far as rF mods go, the most enjoyable series I've taken part in was with the Beetle mod. A little querky certainly, but good fun and close racing on the right tracks.

Uh oh, now you have aroused the interest of the BugLovers   

btw. Purchased rFactor, Loved the CART mod but was terribly off the pace (after half an hour of configuring RealFeel)

[Simon Gymer]

I found this Champcar 05-06 mod for GTR2

Hmm, the rFactor version is better and the rFactor CART Factor mod is better. Bit wierd in GTR2.

And this Mazda mod for GTR2...

At first it feels like it's going to be ok and then you get to the point where you expect a slide and wham, wierd evil manic oddness.

I really love the F1 88 mod

Interesting, but the sounds are diabolical. They are so over powering that I couldn't stand them for more than a couple of minutes. It's like iRacing sound levels in reverse (REALLY loud). Driving itself was interesting. Potential.

Although I think F1 79 was better in GTR2 than rFactor, I'm still not a fan of the cars.

Me neither. I just don't get on with them.

I've tried recently the new F1 2009 v2.1 mod for GTR2, and I can suggest you to try it.

Still downloading this one.

About the GP2 I've tried something like this http://www.esport-racing.de/include.php?path=content/download.php&contentid=1442&PHPKITSID=7255f43e800cb73e969e58b1bf6efd97 but I think that it's a really difficult mod... that car has no grip at all... I don't know if that's more near a simulation than I think... Give it a try, and let me know what you think about it.

Something just plain wrong with the mod. The car vibrates/bounces off the track surface the whole time. I can still feel it vibrating now. Ooer matron.

I really dislike all the others open wheeler mod except for the F3000 http://www.esport-racing.de/include.php?path=content/download.php&contentid=983&PHPKITSID=7255f43e800cb73e969e58b1bf6efd97 that for me is the best open wheeler mod for GTR2...

Illegal mod due to conversion from RACE 07.

The Formula Nipple mod is pretty good
http://www.rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=Formula%20Nippon%202008%20%28FN2008%29

This is the best single seater mod that I've tried so far. Slower than CART, controllable grip, controllable power. Dodgy TV cam, but cockpit cam on this one is ok if you raise it up a bit so you can see out. Quite impressed with this definately the best of all the things in this list so far.

I downloaded 2008 and the 1.06 patch for Formula Nippon and I recommend others try this mod!

Why don't we go back to F1 in 1955
http://www.rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=1955%20F1

Fun, but no, not that good.

Cheers Simon, I'll give the Nippon one a go. Shame that the GTR2 mods aren't all that (in your opinion at least) as they would be more popular I guess, given the punters already here.

Seems like open wheeler's are the way forward? Fits in nicely with our existing GT/historic schedule I guess. I was gonna recommend the Endurance Mod (which suffers from that low speed grip issue for me) and ETCC mod which is very good but a good open wheel one will suit me fine (I wasn't a fan of CART mod by the way ).

I agree - it was the other one I raised originally. A very different experience to the CART mod.

[spanner]

Just downloading the Nippon mod now, shame about the multitude of patches.

Prototypes arn't that far away from single seaters, just a bigger body

Very different and much better experience ta, I was with you all along Dave. Much more grip in the twisties and I can catch it a bit at least in these. Looks even better than CART as well 

Can't help but feel that NK and iR do open wheelers better mind but, as they aren't used here, I'd join a test race.

[Burtoner]

I think 1st need make mind up on mods to be racing, also im not raced enough to do any championships, I rather focus on GTL/GTR2 at moment.

[Jos Verstappen]

those nippons arent much slower then the Cart's, already did a 1.35 after a couple of laps...

but much easier to drive, no understeer, no oversteer, no upsetting the car when shifting.

sounds great too.
