rF2: Porsche 911 GT3 R Confirmed - Releases "Soon"

[Paul Jeffrey]

Studio 397 have confirmed the lovely Porsche 911 GT3 R will be arriving in rFactor 2 very soon indeed.

Set to be added to the simulation as part of the long term licencing deal with the Porsche brand that has already seen the 911 GTE join rF2's growing endurance racing content ranks, Studio 397 took to social media earlier today to confirm the epic 911 GT3 R is already well into development, and should be added to the title in the very near future.

Very much just a teaser image and brief text at this stage, no details on either exact release date or pricing have been confirmed by Studio 397, nor if the 911 GT3 R will form part of a wider content release, but one thing is for sure - it is again reassuring to see Studio 397 working hard to release new and exciting content to what is most certainly one of the most rapidly improving racing simulations available today.

Alongside the teaser image reveal, Studio 397 also suggested that the next build update to rFactor 2 looks set to include the much anticipated new shader technology, hopefully helping the title to continue to improve the increasing visual fidelity that has been brought to the simulation over recent updates.

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!

Blimey. We're only an Audi and lambo away from a rather compelling line up. Keep it coming s397! Love it .

I belatedly hooked up my computer to my 4k TV this weekend (ordinary use a 1080 monitor)
I was blown away, lapping PTSims Hungarogor ring using both GTE and GT3 pack. The immersion was immense.
S397 are really smashing this game out of the park.

Looking forward to the new Porker but, also would be nice to see some other GT3's in the mix.

I know ISI licenced a couple of Honda's so hope the NSX is not a far reach

Now just release that UI and spur up the dormant multi player and stop the ability to add AI to online servers please

new shaders and new material system is the same thing?

new shaders and new material system is the same thing?

Yes, technically the new shaders are one part of the new material system. There are a few other things involved to make it all work, but that's mostly just technical stuff.

will we have all these things for christmas?

Tentative release date?

 

[F1Aussie]

Hope the car interiors get an overhaul as a part of the shader and material updates, they need an overhaul too.

 

[Alex Townsend]

Hope it's an rF2 goodies Xmas
Online sorted would be the best gift...

More new content and improvements are always welcome.
Has anyone heard something new about Portland?

...much anticipated new shader technology, hopefully helping the title to continue to improve the increasing visual fidelity that has been brought to the simulation over recent updates.

So is this a representation of the new shaders? Or is that not shown in the released screenshots?

vs what was available in 2016

Tentative release date?

We'll announce more about the system, its introduction and documentation for livery painters and modders in general soon, probably in the next roadmap update.

911 GT3 CUP in the radar too?

 

[snyperal]

911 GT3 CUP in the radar too?

That's the last of the full set. I do love a porker.

 

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

well I bet we can see it on ACC first at this pace

 

[Oldzeb]

Christmas is going to be good on rf2 this year!!!
what hard work the S397 has been doing for months, thank you!
but I hope to really have a "thorough overhaul" of the sounds on rf2

 

[T04STY]

That's the last of the full set. I do love a porker.

It's not the last, please do not forget the GT4 Clubsport. GT4 is such a great class.

 

[ATSSHD]

Cool! My favourite car is the 911 RSR in the game. I don't have the GT3 pack yet, but if they add this car to it, im going to buy it.

 

[ATSSHD]

Hope this comes for Xmas.
Then again any idea how much this will cost?

maybe a new gt3 pack ~14-15 €

911 GT3 CUP in the radar too?

Porsche was using a GT3 Cup car in rF2 during the Sim Expo back in August and considering they have a license with Porsche, I'm pretty confident it's in the works too
