Studio 397 has released their first-ever content item since taking over the development of rFactor 2 as the USF2000 open-wheeler is now available for download.
The Cooper Tires USF2000 Series an accessible American open wheel series officially sanctioned byINDYCAR, is a popular proving ground for ambitious drivers wanting to progress to the next level.
The USF2000 car from Van Diemen is an excellent entry-level low-downforce car. It???s grippy, yet nimble. While it can be tail happy at times, it remains catchable and is always rewarding to throw around. We???ve enjoyed some very close, smile-on-your-face, wheel-to-wheel racing testing out the limits of the USF2000. Daring overtakes and massive trail braking really show off it???s capabilities.
The 2016 spec USF2000 uses Van Diemen/Elan DP08 chassis and is powered by Mazda???s MZR 2 liter, 4 cylinder DOHC engine with fuel-injectors, tuned by Elite Engines to 170??hp thus capable of achieving a top speed of about 150mph.
rFactor 2 users can now download the car via Steam Workshop.
