rFactor's Open Wheel Mods

rFactor F3 mod at Nordschleife

EuroF3 / rF3

The excellent EuroF3 mod by Laurent Evenisse was so impressive that ISI made an arrangement with Laurent ("lo”) which means that it is included in update 1070 as a new rF3 series with fantasy skins. The EuroF3 mod contains the liveries of real teams, and both options are available to you when upgrading to v1070. You then install the F3 mod v2.0 which you can download from the link below.

In it's latest incarnation the rear-axle of the car has been sorted in order to offer a more manageable and driveable car than in previous versions. The back of the car had a tendency to step out uncontrollably over larger bumps in the road.

The terrific EuroF3 mod is available from Stylelo here.

Formula Nippon

Formula Nippon

Emulating the Japanese Formula Nippon series, this mod offers the correct drivers and liveries, some very nice looking slick tires and sounds that remind me of ChampCars — excepting the turbo "whistle" of course. The racing is close and feels like something you could watch from a Grand Prix Masters event. The more I drive this mod, the more I like it.

The Formula Nippon mod is available from here at rFactorMods.

F1 1996 Mini mod

F1 1996 Mini

1996 liveries on FIS car shapes, slick tires, and physics to match the 1996 season.

The F1 1996 Mini mod is available from here at rFactorRacing.

The FS One mod

FS One

If you require completely accurate car shapes and driver line-up, and are into Formula 1, you should try out the early Beta of FS One. These cars grip on an altogether different level than anything from Formula 1 Challenge and they are so fast in acceleration and deceleration that the mind boggles. Jolly good fun!

The FS One mod is available from here at rFactorRacing.

The F1 SRM 2005 Minardi

F1 SRM 2005

Another Beta offering is this little package. Being a Beta, it only contains a few cars, amongst them a Minardi. I have begun to sympathize with Minardi drivers over the past few years. Not only is the car slower than all other F1 cars but to make it go you have to drive it at 110% and this is where it gets tricky to stay on the black stuff and do consistent laptimes. This bodes well for the realism of the mod, seeing that the mod team has already got the basic characteristics of the Minardi down perfectly.

The F1 SRM 2005 mod is available from here at rFactorRacing.
