rF2: Enduracers Endurance Series Updated - New Cars, Plenty of Improvements

[Paul Jeffrey]

The excellent Endurance Series mod by EnduRacers and the Gentlemen Modding team has been updated - with new content added!

The mod of choice in our recent RDLMS by Vesaro series, rFactor 2 content is in a better place these past few days thanks to a substantial new build release of the EnduRacers Endurance Series mod.

As well as adding an impressive list of fixes and improvements, not least of which is the implementation of the new rFactor 2 tyre model, the mod also benefits from quite a bit of new content in the form of the beautiful Ligier JSP3 LMP3 car (nice playmate for the recently announced Norma LMP3..?) and some great looking GTE specification machines alongside the classic Oreca 05 LMP2 open cockpit prototype.

It is worth noting that the Corvette C7R replaces the original C6R, the Ferrari F458 replaces the F430 and the Flat6 RSR Evo replaces the Flat6 RSR. The Oreca 05 LMP2 comes in place of the Lola Coupe and the Ligier LMP3 is a totally new class of car.

Available at no cost to the user, the version 2 build release of the Endurance Series modification can be found at the EnduRacers website HERE.

Tested them on SRC Enduracers 2.0 Server, omg they are great cars

URD is so bad now in comparison

 

[Msportdan]

Can't knock it they could of easily charged for this!!

 

[Nick Gregory]

I kinda wish they kept the Lola as the the old Zytek is still there. Oh, and the interior sound of the LMP3 is the same as the one for the Nissan P2 cars. That needs to be changed.

well... the new cars (except the P3) are URD cars so...

I can't understand why they dropped the older cars. Other than that great job

Strange enough, the day after the update, a YT video claimed that they've been removed. As the GT cars make nice drone cars for being overtaken, I had a check and the claimed to be removed cars all are still there.

I wish they could include the pre-2012 hybrid LMP1 cars

...URD is so bad now in comparison

You know they work together now?
Corvette is from URD (as example but some other models too) and they developed physics together...

 

[Craig Dunkley]

Sounds like more awesome work ..not tried yet myself, but of course I will be ..your work is very much appreciated

 

[Patrik Marek]

looks like great update, those cockpit are starting to look quite nice!

Doesn't change the fact the URD cars available to buy on their website are **** and not worth its money ... by far

The ONroak Ligier LP3 uses a Nissan engine, just like the open cockpit lmp2 cars. Sounds should be similar.

The LMP2 engine is the VK45DE. It's the same engine used in Super GT for a few years. The LMP3 engine is the VK50VE. They do not sound anywhere near the same.

Fabulous upgrade. I cant's say enough about it. If you haven't experienced R Factor 2, I encourage you to try it out. You will not be disappointed.

not from driving, but man, they havne't really updated the look much, since they switched to DX11,

you can still see tracks where things are glowing, alhtough I suppose those might not be stock rf2 tacks but rather mods that weren't updated

any way to disable that DOF forever?

Turn the pp effects to medium in the video settings

Edit: clicking the gear symbol in the game launcher, in game special effects setting will do nothing about it.

 

[Matheus Machado]

Those who are saying URD cars are the same physics as these clearly never driven URD.

Feels similar to the 1.96 URD though, but noticeably different.

Models are lookalikes, wouldn't surprise me if they are the same given the partnership.

 

[MoerasGrizzly]

Not at all bad news to make your comeback with

 

[LeSunTzu]

There is a typo in the title: the mod is made by Enduracers and Gentlemen Racers modding team.

I remember that when they first released the mod for rF2, they said some of them were meant to be temporary before the new models came.
