The first release for rFactor 2's Q1 content drop has come in. The Long Beach GP Circuit will make its way to the simulation this February.
And the layout used will be the current IndyCar version. IndyCar has been racing on the circuit since 2009. However, the circuit has had a long history in North American motorsports.
A similar layout of the track was used in 1975 for a Formula 5000 race, while in the following years, Formula 1 visited the premises. From 1984 until 2008 CART used the circuit until the merger in 2009.
A different variant of the circuit has also been used in 2015 and 2016 to host Formula E races. Even though rFactor 2 has (or had) a partnership with Formula E, it doesn't seem like this variant will be included here.
What you will be able to find, however, is a tight street circuit suited for racing of all kinds.
Once it comes out, it will be interesting to see how it fares in comparison to the version that Automobilista 2 has out already.
Until that day we can only wait and see.
Long Beach GP Circuit will arrive on rFactor 2 on the 21st of February.
