Update day!
Studio 397 are pleased to release new content updates to three existing free circuits within rFactor 2, as we continue in our efforts to further enhance the gameplay experience of our players within the simulation. Available with immediate effect, new build updates have been made available for the Silverstone Grand Prix Circuit, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and Portland International Raceway following on from our recent major new refresh of the Circuit d’Azur back on March 24th.
These new updates have been developed with the intention of addressing some key areas of improvement, with specific attention paid to the flag waving marshal behaviour under Safety Car yellow flag conditions, whilst also addressing other improvements that have been highlighted since the tracks were first deployed to the public.
Of course, this is just another small step in our continued efforts to revisit our current roster of tracks within rFactor 2, so if your favourite circuit hasn’t received the update treatment, rest assured that the months ahead will see plenty more development work taking place behind the scenes as we continue to work hard at bringing our existing offering up to the quality levels expected from our more recent rFactor 2 releases.
