It's been a busy week of announcements for rFactor 2 and they aren't done over at Studio 397 and the INDYCAR IR-18 is coming to rFactor 2!
Better yet, they have told us when it is coming to the game.
INDYCAR IR-18 release date
rFactor 2 first introduced IndyCar with the Dallara DW12 back in 2014, and belive it or not that is a long time ago now. The new IR-18 feautres a lot of changes to the visuals. From the removal of wheel covers to the addition of the Aeroscreen it is a fully modernised representation.
With upward of 700 bhp and no power steering it will be a true test of driver skill.
The car also sees the introduction of two new features to rFactor 2, Push to Pass and Weight Jacker.
Release date
The new INDYCAR IR-18 will arrive on Monday, 7 February 2022. It will arrive along with the previously announced Daytona International Raceway and Ligier JS P320 LMP3.
There is also one more unannounced item coming that will arrive on that date. Hopefully they will all be bundled up in a reasonably priced DLC pack!
