RaceRoom WTCC 2013 Racing

Since Sector 3 is hard at work on WTCC 2014 it spured me to run some races in WTCC 2013. Here is one of them I recorded. These cars are fun and offer up intense racing at times.
I don't edit to create a perfect race. I let it stand as a real race would. Enjoy!

Check it out.

rFactor2 has a new track today


rFactor 2 released Longford 1967 a new 3rd party track by woochoo. It's a Historic GP track dating back to 1953 when the very first race meetings was held. This track was located at the edges of town and passed by the Longford Hotel and stretched 4.5 miles long

Pretty interesting stuff as places like this was were racing was born! Read more about it on Wiki

Now time to go check it out for myself, but first check out a video of it from woochoo.

Thanks woochoo!



rFactor 2 1966 BT20 Test Drive W/ new Tire Mod


Taking the old car out for a spin on the 1966 Historic Brianza Track. This race car is a handful still, but is easier tamed I'm feeling now. You defiantly need to spend a little seat time to get the downshift rev matched and don't downshift to early as it will take you for a SPIN literally.

Take it for a spin and let us know what you think.
