Studio 397 has shared news that Daytona International Speedway is being released for rFactor 2 next week.
Arguably America’s best racing circuit and famously home to the Daytona 24 hour endurance race, Daytona International Speedway, is coming to rFactor 2 next week. Studio 397 has confirmed that the first major addition to the sim in 2022 will be Daytona, and the screen shots shared so far look excellent.
Daytona’s road course layout fuses a challenging and twisty infield section with a wide-open banked oval. The lap begins with a dive into infield section, after which you’ll need to navigate six corners ranging from slow hairpins to a flat-out kink. From there, the car’s horsepower and aero balance will be on full display as the oval section is taken on, which itself is interrupted by a high-speed chicane that begs you to challenge your comfort zone and push the car harder and harder each lap.
The addition of Daytona is a good fit for rFactor 2, given the variety of car classes on offer in the title. LMP2, LMP3 and GT3 cars are all official content in rF2, and DPi cars are available as 3rd-party mods through their Steam Workshop. Setting up a multi-class race for 24 minutes, 2.4 hours, or 24 hours to simulate the real world race is easier than ever now thanks to the improved user interface.
Aside from the 24 hour endurance racing, Daytona is known to host various race series including NASCAR. Studio 397 will include the speedway layout of Daytona, which should make for awesome wheel to wheel oval racing in the excellent Stock Car 2018.
