McLaren 720S GT3 Coming to rFactor 2

[Paul Jeffrey]

rFactor 2 have revealed the next new car of the upcoming #rfchallengers DLC - the world exclusive sim racing debut of the brand new McLaren 720S GT3!

Confirmed as coming to the sim alongside the Porsche 911 GT3 R, BMW M6, Audi R8 LMS and one as yet unannounced licence, the confirmation today by Studio 397 of the impending release of the McLaren 720S GT3 is something of a coup for the studio - beating Assetto Corsa Competizione out the blocks as the first racing simulation to feature the latest, and potentially greatest, GT racing car from the formidable McLaren Automotive organisation.

With this latest announcement we now have four of the upcoming five car pack confirmed, leaving just a little bit of room for speculation as to the final model will be before we get our hands on the cars within the sim ourselves - I can't wait!

rFactor 2 is available exclusively for PC from Steam now.

Check out the rFactor 2 sub forum here at RaceDepartment for all the latest news and discussion with regards to the simulation. You can take part in lively debates with fellow rFactor 2 fans and take part in some great Club and League racing events..! Head over to the forum now!

So unexpected, but welcomed nonetheless

@Marcel Offermans - while we have you, please for the love of god bring back FIA gt1 (either one ).
GT3 is too mainstream

 

[2stains]

Please don't start with my sim is better than your sim
I'd definitely rather drive it in rF2

Says don't start but does it anyway, come on man!

 

[Alex72]

plz, better graphics... only a little bit.

The new shaders as you can see is better graphics.

 

[marpado]

I hope it's not nissan personally. My wish would be Ferrari or lambo

If S397 had those licenses, they'd already announced them since months.

I know nothing about how shaders work but am curious if people on low graphic settings will notice the difference or are they only activated on higher levels?
Also will new shaders affect performance?
Thx

Game engines are (usually) scalable and can switch between shader levels, switch off advanced shader calculations or have fallback shaders in case the users hardware doesnt support certain features.
i think S397 have proven that they care about performance and scalability so far.

I don't see the Nissan as a choice. (nor sadly the NSX) The 4 cars listed so far are all European based and raced. Sure the GT3;s cover the globe now, but I suspect S397 has been building bridges with local brands near their home-base in Denmark. So England & Germany cover the first 4 cars. I bet a-lot of these deals were made at the Sim-Expo last summer. Anyone know of other manufactures who were there??? If my theory is correct, it won't be cars that race mainly in the USA, or Aussieland. AC has a new 488(I THINK it was AC) so it probably won't be Ferrari.
What does that leave us? Aston, Bentley, Lambo-ghini, Jag???
What about the Glickenhaus? It races at the Nordscheife and that is the next 'big' deal for rF2. Is the Glick GT3?

Wow, I didn't know about this car, I just watched on youtube the Glick SCG003C lap at Nordschleife, this car is just insane, it's a baby LMP2. I'll take this one over any other GT3 option

 

[Ami_M3]

Another great news from S397. Can't wait!

 

[vaipa]

If they are improving stuff visually, i would like to have a competent 3d representation of the AMG gt3.
Or just remove it from the sim... its that bad.

 

[Stevie_007]

excellent, whats the eta on this......xmas day? :>

 

[Brownninja97]

That would be a bad idea for them, if something goes wrong who will fix it. Reminds me of this.

 

[Nick Gregory]

I'm from America....is there a difference? (not to be catty, just didn't know. freely admit my ignorance)

How have you made it this far in your life?

Sorry mate but that is a rather Racist statement,like saying a Canadian is the same as a Texan.

Explain how a person's nationality is also their race.

 

[Jason Mullin]

Beating on release but never preferable over ACC with official Blancpain drivers and liveries.

I don't care if it says Frank's Chicken on the doors, it's a S397 creation so you know it will feel and look good.
Don't tell me what to prefer sir at this point ACC is a bit overrated we'll see what happens next year.

 

[Oldzeb]

the style of this McLaren is sublime!! the most aggressive McLaren GT3!!!
first time in a sim I think! Good Job S397

for the last, Renault RS 01 GT3!!

Yes very overrated.

 

[Steve Worrell]

ASTON MARTIN Baby!!!

 

[Steve Worrell]

I wasn't that excited about Aston Martin being an option as I had forgotten all about the 2019 GT3 but my god what a beauty. Can't wait for that now .

The Renault is not an official GT3 car, but seeing how they added the Radical, which isn't an official GT3 car either, there's a possibility.

 

[headder]

The last car of the pack is the Aston Marting Vantage GT3 2019 spec

Already scared of the new RF2 shaders?
