Hello sim racers!
Welcome to our latest content announcement as part of the rapidly approaching 2022 Q3 August Content Drop here in rFactor 2.
Today, we have the distinct pleasure to welcome to our roster of cars a very exciting entry level addition, the frankly quite delightful Mk1 Austin Mini Cooper S Group 2 race car!
Developed to adhere to FIA Group 2 historic racing regulations, the mighty Mini is a unique of a car as you will find in the world of motorsports. Developed as a convenient city car for the road, and made famous by the Beatles in the mid 1960s, the Mini went on to be something of an unexpected success story in the world of racing, proving itself to be a more than capable racer in-period, and has since become one of the de facto ‘go to’ cars for a wealth of historic racing championships around the world.
Easy to maintain, chock-full of personality and incredibly agile and fun to race, the Mini Cooper S is a perfect way for many drivers to introduce themselves to the world of racing, and have a bag full of fun into the process!
For this August update, we will be adding the iconic Mini to our roster of cars within the simulation – but we haven’t finished with Mini yet! In a future quarterly release, we plan to introduce the modern JCW cup car to the simulation as well, so before too long our drivers will have the opportunity to sample 60 years of development for one of the most enduring, and endearing cars in the automotive world
Technical Specs
- 125HP and 140NM of torque.
