Image Space Incorporated has released the 2.0 version of their Palm Beach Raceway for rFactor 2.

One of rFactor 2’s old-faithful tracks that has been in the simulation ever since the first releases, the track is now being updated with the latest graphic tech, including plenty of new details and a new kart layout.
