The recent release of previews showing HistorX cars in Assetto Corsa has spawned some lively discussion in the sim racing community, not just about the future of the team’s iconic Historic GT & Touring Car mod but also about which simulation will turn out to be ??the superior modding platform, Assetto Corsa or rFactor 2.
To add some facts to the discussion, HistorX’ Rantam has released a statement here on VirtualR, clarifying that the team has not made a decision for either platform yet:
Hi there!
after the video and these few screenshots we posted last week a lot of discussion from the community has followed. We???re very happy to see the amazing support we still get, no matter if you think we???re going to release the next mod for rFactor2, Assetto Corsa or both. So, thanks for that!
Having said that please note we haven???t said we???re moving from rF2 to AC. We haven???t discarded choosing AC over rF2 either. At this point there???s no final decision about what platform we???re going to use. The thing is that it???s not an easy decision and as a team we need to agree on that (and about a lot of other things). It???s as simple as that??
We have 4 cars on AC now. In rF2 there???re way more (even a new working UI for this rF2 version was created back on 2012) but still nothing has been decided yet.
If you are familiar with our mod for rF1 you probably know that we don???t release anything unless we think we???ve reached the highest quality level we can get at that point. We say this to make clear that you???re not going to see anything coming from us any soon, no matter the sim you think about.
But to go back to what is important to clarify with this post: don???t worry.. no matter the chosen platform/s or the focus of our next project we???ll let you know with an official statement when the moment comes??
Thanks once more for your continuous support!
Team HistorX isn’t the only high-profile modding team having to make a decision on which platform to use in the coming months as right now, most of the largest modding teams have not yet settled for a new home as both Assetto Corsa and rFactor 2 are still very much in development.
