rF2: Enduracers Endurance Series V3.00 Released

[Paul Jeffrey]

Very recently the Enduracers Modding Team and Gentlemen Racers released a new and rather impressive update to their Endurance Series rFactor 2 mod.

Having gone through some substantial updates in recent months, the Endurance Series collection of prototype and GT cars for rFactor 2 has been revisited once again by the talented Enduracers and GR modding teams, receiving a new version 3 patch that brings with it a raft of rather impressive improvements.

Already one of the stand out mods for rFactor 2, this new version 3 update lifts the Endurance Series mod yet further with a wide range of improvements that includes such things the inclusion of working position lights for all three categories, upgrading to the latest CPM tyre model version introduced as part of the Studio 397 'Endurance Pack' DLC, force feedback and physics enhancements as well as various improvements and changes throughout the mod.

Hot on the heels of the recent Flat 6 update by the same developers, this is certainly fast becoming one of the single most impressive mods in rFactor 2 so far, and well worth a look if you haven't yet had the opportunity to sample the new update for yourselves.

You can download the Endurance Series V3.00 mod from Steam HERE.

If you really want to experience these cars at their very best, our rFactor 2 club racing staff are hosting a 60 minute multiclass endurance racing event this Friday 1st February - sign up HERE.

That's a big update. In particular I appreciate physics adjustments and updates. Now finally with P2 cars you can lock wheels with max brake pressure. More importantly now they have much less grip, perhaps even too little ( because they slide much more than the official Oreca 07). Overall for me they handle better and are more challenging and fun to drive.

Why do most GT and LMP cars have fixed gear ratios now?? Give the Mechanics some freedom!!

 

[couri]

One of the best mods ever!

There is a cap off 4 gearboxes you can use for a season. Changing the gears would make it impossible to see if the gearbox been replaced or not.

 

[Craig Dunkley]

Most certainly one of my favorite mods ..and it has just got a whole lot better, I love every car in the collection

 

[roadyroad]

For me the best mod for rfactor2 : one of the few mods, if not the only one, being updated along with the game's updates. Rfactor2 is worth its price for its base content and for this mod. Well done Enduracers.

 

[Bonehead]

Thank you for the update on this great mod! My favorite rFactor2 mod also, and it's so nice that they work so hard to allow us a great sim experience.

 

[muzikant]

Best sim! Rfactor 2 thanks for this update

 

[speed_steward]

This just keeps getting better. Love it! This mod alone is making rF2 my favorite sim.

 

[tlsmikey]

Tested a few cars and the LMP2 cars do feel fantastic as well as having first class interior models (by rf2 standards).

I like official GT3 power pack much more, do not understand why there is no so much online racing, it would be so great!

There are S397 GT3 races, even here if you have premium account you can join every friday.

It's mainly for cost saving. They don't want the wealthy teams to slap new gearboxes in there after every session and the team with less money creeping around with a two month old one. That's why there usually is a limitied number of gearboxes per season.

Thanks to Enduracers for the impressive list of updates.
They're some modding groups you know won't disappoint.
This group is one of them.
Will try the cars later this weekend.

There are GT3 races. Maybe not as many as one would want but lets hope the new UI (whenever it shows up) will make it easier to jump in/make servers/host.

Enduracers are certainly the most talented modding team with top notch work since rf1 so hat off guys and keep on your outstanding work
I will always regret that they never officially ported their rf1 version to GTR2

Yeah I bought RF1 just so I could drive the previous generation on the mod. Would be great if it was converted across. Doesn’t have to be a complete conversion physics wise but would’ve been fun

 

[AbeWoz]

Corvette taillights still incorrect

 

[Bjarne Hansen]

eah I bought RF1 just so I could drive the previous generation on the mod. Would be great if it was converted across. Doesn’t have to be a complete conversion physics wise but would’ve been fun

It is converted but you can argue how well and the only SP! and SP2.
That said this is a great update been having some nice both hotlaps and races on LeMans 2017.
