TechDaddy and crew have released an update to their popular Formula Nippon rFactor mod bringing it up to version 1.2. You can download the 55MB zip file right here or see this thread at RSC for more mirrors along with some info about the mod. I'm sure rFactor Central will have it's download mirrors up shortly as well. Sadly, my DFP pedals finally gave up the ghost so I haven't had a chance to try it, hence no screenshots. If it's anything like their previous work, this is a must have rFactor mod. You can find out more about Formula Nippon at Wikipedia and here is a link to the english version of the official website for the series.

Slipangle.it and MudSnow's Modding have released the Citroen 2CV Championship mod for rFactor. The mod comes in a few different flavors depending on what resolution skins you prefer. I have a local download mirror (65MB .rar file) for the 1024x skin package. 512x and 2048x skins are also available. For the other versions, check out MudSnow's forum or rFactor Central. I spent about an hour racing this mod vs the AI at Birmingham. These things seem to top out at just over 70 MPH on that track and that's about how long it took to do a 5 lap race :D. All kidding aside, it's nice to see rFactor mods like this that depart from the "norm". Thanks to everyone involved for doing a great job. If racing these 2CV's doesn't put a smile on your face, you shoud have your sense of fun examined! If you're not familair with the Citroen 2CV, you can feed your brain by reading this this Wikipedia entry.

There's a new mod launcher created by R Lee available for rFactor. It allows you to choose the mod you want to play before lanuching the game and also allows for custom FOV settings. It works great and takes care of the interface problems that some mods create, forcing you to restart the game to get back to the default UI. There's a screenshot below and you can download the mod launcher right here. It's a tiny file weighing in at only 39kb. Be sure to have a look at the included readme.txt before using.

There's a new showroom garage mod for rFactor that replaces the default spinner. It's really well done and adds a nice touch to the game. It was created by Hugh Jarse and you can download it here (12MB). The rar file contains new showroom.mas and Vview.scn files. Back up or rename the original files in your GameData\Vehicles folder before extracting the mod. For further instructions, check out the included readme.txt or this thread at WGTL. Screenshots of the mod can be found below. The Smirnoff Proton skin is courtesy of Viperpainter and Fritz Motorsport Concepts.

ISI has released their Autodromo Nazionale della Brianza ( aka Monza ) track for rFactor. Scott J and everyone involved are to be commended for doing a fantastic job on the track. As you can see from the first screenshot, it includes 6 different configurations including the oval. Check below for some links to download mirrors for the 52MB file.
