rFactor 2 has released the latest version of the always popular Skip Barber Formula 2000 car. At 1,250lb and 150 hp good for 135 mph, the official car of the Skip Barber Racing School looks to only improve with Version 1.54.
V1.54 is a fairly comprehensive update to the previous version, v1.46. Lots of physics tweaks including moving the car to the “ultra chassis” that takes chassis flex into account is seen in this update. There are also a good number of graphic updates including shaders, textures and liveries.
The entire V1.54 changelog can be seen below and the update can be downloaded here. With the recent release of Mountain Peak, I think some Skippy running on the infield road course is in order…
V1.54 Changes from V1.46:
– Revised tyres
– Moved to ultra chassis (with flex)
– Updated to ModelWheelsIncludeAllTireMass=1 fix
– Bumpstop fix
– Tweaked undertray locations
– Minor AI correlation tweaks
– Updated shaders
– Updated textures
– Updated liveries
– Helmet no longer goes through cockpit
– New car icons
– Added rim blur
– New tire textures
– New tire damage textures
– Moved to new steering system
– Added descriptions and new variables
This should be a fun update. I liked the Skippy in iRacing but never cared for it much in rF2. I’ll have to give this a try.
