rFactor 2 – Zandvoort 2017 Track Released

Ever since rFactor 2 is run under the STUDIO 397 flag, we can only applaud the work done, and progress made on what we can still call one of the best-known sim racing platforms. Once more STUDIO 397 is proud to announce yet another car model coming to the rFactor 2 portfolio of officially licensed cars. The mighty Bentley Continental GT3 will be the second car in their upcoming GT3 pack joining the McLaren 650S GT3.

As many of the industry-leading developers, STUDIO 397 is present at this year’s edition of the Sim Racing Expo at the German Nürburgring circuit. Visitors are invited to try out a preview of the upcoming Bentley Continental GT3 for rFactor2.

For those of us at home, STUDIO 397 shared three stunning screenshots showing the (WIP) 2017 Bentley Continental GT3 in action on the virtual track.
