rFactor 2 Palm Beach International Raceway v2.02 is now available for download on Steam. Image Space Incorporated has completed their updating of all original track content to their own modern standards! With this update, ISI has saved the most extensive update of all for the last phase of their updating regimen.
Palm Beach International Raceway has been a test mule of sorts for new types of shaders and techniques, ISI have taken what they have learnt during this period and implemented it all in this v2.02 version!
The much anticipated Kart circuit has now been included, as well as a thorough re-working of the original circuit giving it the atmospheric look and feel of Florida’s hot and humid climatic conditions!
