Ken Block is the Internetz

Somewhere in the series of tubes between Lolcatz and Somalian schemes, lies Ken Block. Block is no ordinary mortal, which is why we are only allowed to witness his awe in pixelation. Witnessing these acts in real life, or simply hitting the “hq” button will probably lead to levels of euphoria that are only reserved [...]

Simraceway is coming soon because the countdown says so

Rfactorcentral is going through a metamorphosis to emerge as Simraceway. This coincidentally resides with a recent email by the Rfactorcentral team that celebrated its 150,000,000th page view (I’m slightly jealous). More information is yet to come. However I have visited Simraceway, and was greeted by a suspicious looking countdown that could have easily come out [...]

BSIM gives the SC430 retribution.

When you see the street version of this car on the road, you can’t help but cringe. The SC430 looks like a novelty bath tub that copulated with a set of wheels. The car is great if you like to go 80mph, so long as you have a rubber ducky buckled shotgun and your cabin [...]

Is the V8 Supercar Series in Jeopardy?

After reading about the possible demise of Australia’s much revered V8 Supercar series, the question becomes inevitable. The answers, however, are harder to come by. The series depends on General Motors and Ford, which have halted all new development on their real wheel drive platforms. Unlike other popular forms of racing, such as F1 and [...]

Dunlop Art Comp ends in 9 days!

Gjon Camaj gives us a sense of time

It seems hard to believe, but Rfactor 2 does operate in relative time. Off Camaj’s twitter: “We have not release date in mind yet. There is enough work for the remainder of the year however.” By work, I am going to assume he meant the developmental aspect of the game if everything goes according to [...]

Throwing is not allowed in Rfactor 2

It’s a message to you hooligans in the stands, letting you know that the next iteration of Rfactor will provide a clean environment with crisp lines and high contrast. It is also the reason why the stands are vacant. With the ruckus out of the way, let’s take a moment to enjoy the sunset and [...]

Rfactor 2 shadows by the dozen

Dusk. Dynamic Shadows. All Around Awesomeness. These have to be the best screenshots to date, giving it a GT5 aura in terms of aesthetics. The amount of contrast exhibited is going to really help drivers gauge perspective. If game play resembles this even slightly, it looks like more than few people who were turned off [...]
