Mercedes AMG F1 W04 for rFactor 2 (by Mak-Corp)

 [AFG_gallery id=’547′]

Mak Corp released new model previews of the Mercedes AMG F1 W04 Formula One car that is planned for release on the rFactor 2 and Assetto Corsa platforms. As far as Assetto Corsa is concerned, the do or don’t of the project will depend on the modding tools when available. Mak-Corp states that it’s not planning a full 2013 Formula One mod but might pick a few of the most noticeable cars from the field to bring to your simulator.

In the supplied screenshots you can see the progress of the Mercedes AMG F1 W04 that is being built by my fellow countryman Koen Calleyl, who also modeled the recently-released Williams FW26 for the Mak-Corp Classic Formula one project.

The Mercedes F1 W04 is a 2013 Formula One car designed Mercedes Engineering Director Aldo Costa . The car was driven by Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg.  The only 642 kg car is powered by a naturally aspirated, Mercedes-Benz FO 108F 2.4 L  V8 engine . The engine was limited to 18,000 RPM and facilitated a kinetic energy recovery system. KERS is a system build to recover reusable energy from a moving car under braking.
