Image Space Incorporated has released the newest build of their rFactor 2 simulation that is currently in open-beta stage.
Aside from introducing the plenty of changes listed below, the new build also brings two new content items. One is Brianza, ISI’s historical version of Monza that comes with a layout including the legendary banked corner.
To go along with the new track, ISI has released a new version of the 1960 series mod package that includes the brand new Brabham BT20.
The new build isn’t available on the auto updater yet so please use the download links below.
