Studio 397 Announcement, News

Hello sim racers, 

Season 4 of the rFactor 2 Competition System is ready to go – are you up for the challenge? 

This new season is an exciting one for all of us, as we look to mix things up a little with a brand-new series to join, as well as returning and expanding some fan favourites you have come to know and love over recent months. Developed with a view to offering racing opportunities for drivers of all tastes, we think this latest collection of events should provide some epic moments for our players, and we can’t wait to get out on track and go door-to-door with you all! 

Headline activity from Season 4 has to be the long awaited and welcome return of GT3 cars in the Competition System, and not just the cars themselves, but a brand-new series for you to get involved with! Please welcome into the world the GT3 Sprint Trophy, a dedicated Competition System series where drivers will be pitched into 60 minute races every Wednesday evening, on a range of exciting circuits from within the current rFactor 2 offering. These races should provide that GT3 hit our audience have been asking for, and with it, plenty of exciting racing opportunities – get your rigs ready, this is going to be intense!
