I’ll admit it, I haven’t done the best job covering mods for Game Stock Car Extreme (GSCE). With the shear number of titles and mods out there today (where in a golden age people), its easy for a few gems to fall through the cracks.
But I refuse to let this one fall. CART Extreme is here and it brings the glory of late 90’s American open wheel racing at its best (or not too far removed from ’95). CART Extreme (love the name) is the official revision of Racing Line Development’s CART Factor mod from rFactor for GSCE and even had the participation of some of the original developers.
In related news, CART Factor will be coming to rFactor 2 sometime in the future as well.
But back to CART Extreme. CART Extreme features updated graphic shaders, moveable driver arms (from TV view), revamped physics and sound. As far as content, it features the full 1998 CART field of 28 cars, 4 chassis (Reynard, Lola, Swift & Penske), 4 engines (Honda, Ford, Mercedes & Toyota) and 2 tires manufactures (Firestone & Goodyear). There’s also 4 chassis specifications for road, short oval and speedway, plus 4 or 5 boosts depending on track (4 on road, 5 on oval).
CART Extreme doesn’t just feature cars, it also comes with Long Beach, Fontana and Vancouver. Vanport, Laguna Seca and Cleveland (YES!!!) are coming in the future.
CART Extreme can be downloaded here. Get it!
Looking forward to trying this once I manage to update to 1.30. Having snychronisation issues at the moment…might need a complete fresh install! 🙁
Trust me, it’s worth the aggravation.
Got the car. Lot of open wheelers in these two games.
