Studio 397 have deployed the Botniaring circuit to the simulation today, making available the Finnish race track as another piece of free additional content for rFactor 2.
Another new and unique piece of content has been added to the rFactor 2 racing simulation today, Studio 397 having pushed the button to deploy three versions of the Finnish Botniaring circuit to the title as a free track for players to enjoy by way of the Steam workshop.
The new track is available to download HERE.
Coming in three separate variations - “Long”, “Long with Chicane”, and “Short”, the new track offers a challenging driving experience and can be suitable for a variety of different car classes, depending on the version of circuit selected.
A welcome addition to the sim, it is nice to see Studio 397 splitting their focus between the high profile and more unique pieces of content in recent months, helping to ensure rFactor 2 continues to offer an experience suitable for many sim racing tastes.
Here's what Studio 397 have to say about this challenging race circuit:
Botniaring race track is located in Jurva and it is one of the five bigger motorsports centers in Finland. Following a recent extension, the Botniaring is Finland's longest and fastest raceway. The circuit hosts motorsport from April to October but remains open throughout the autumn and winter months for driving training.
The length of the track is 4014 meters and has a high speed chicane which is unique in Finland. With brand new tarmac, the track is very smooth and in excellent condition. The circuit hosts Finnish road racing competitions, including the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge, Nordic racing and a 12 hour night endurance race - though being held in July, there's actually not a great deal of running in the dark thanks to the long summer hours!
