Modding in sim racing is nothing new, and many have people have different opinions on which mod ranks where in the "all time" list of favourite pieces of content created by our wonderful community. We all have our preferred sims, we all have our most favoured series of cars, and frankly the level of quality of some of the mods created in recent years is simply mind blowing in both the attention to detail and level of research that is undertaken before work commences.
However despite the obvious skill and impressive workmanship of some of the modern mods, both tracks and cars, one of my favourites is a bit older than most...
Released for the Race 07 platform of the mid 2000's, AndreasFSC took the opportunity to use his formidable modding talents to recreate a class of cars that sit firmly at the top of my all time favourite lists.. the absolutely brilliant Super Touring Car era of the mid to late 1990's.
Using the game engine to pretty much its absolute maximum, @AndreasFSC set to work creating what is still the de facto number one representation of these brilliant cars, recreating the teams, drivers and vehicles from several seasons of one of the very best racing championships in the world.
Now I had no intention of making this video, or even re-downloading (the now very nicely updated) AL Super Touring Seasons mod for Race 07, until I tried the game again for another video (link HERE) and remembered just how good the title is, even now, some 10 + years after it first came out.
What started as a bit of fun to try out the cars of the Super Touring Mod one last time, turned into a situation where I absolutely fell head over heels in love all over again.. it was seriously good fun, and remains even to this day as a fantastic piece of content that is well worth keeping on any sim racing drivers hard drive. So much so, I decided it was worth another video and article, just to share that love!
Hope you enjoy the video, and keep an eye out on our YouTube page for more from footage of olden but golden racing sims in the coming weeks ahead...
