FVR V8Supercars 2021 V21.xx simulates the 2021 Australian Supercars Championship. The mod has multiple options in it to suit various configurations of how you want to drive. The diff ratios and tyres are set for the Australian tracks, with race changes. There is a Server Edition with open diffs for online racing. Please be mindful these cars run a spool diff which means a fixed axle unlike your normal cars. Therefore you can get extra wear if you are too hard on them and they can tend to try and drive around in a circle at low speed corners. You have to be smooth. They do use an S397 tyre with no changes however the diff will make them unlike a GT3 car. We can assure you they have been driven for hours and hours.

So 2021 has quite a few changes to the physics files. At the start we wanted to add a little grip to the tyre especially the mid corner grip. So this has been increased slightly and to offset the increased speed of the car, engine HP has been dropped slightly. Top speeds still seem to be achievable on a gripped up track and we have tried to match the pace of the car with the RL cars. Tyres are now Hard, Soft and the ALL new Super Soft. This new tyre has red lettering to distinguish it. (I know the RL cars are white but we thought we would be a little different, also there was talk D....P was going to orange but with COVID this hasn't happened). I hope it has more degradation than last years Super Soft. The engine file also a new mapping which adds a little more bottom end response as we felt it was lacking a little in that area. The motion ratio of the suspension has been lowered as we have leaned over the spring/shock unit more so hence you will see stiffer springs and shock values in default. Ride heights in the default have been changed also. Tyre pressures I have defaulted to 145 to give the casual user a better experience however they can still be lowered to 117. Cambers have also been treated in the same way to give hopefully a good out of the box first drive experience. Brakes have also been adjusted and brake bias can probably be more tuned to the rear as in the RL car. In addition bias is adjustable in 0.1 increments now. The position LED on the front windscreen is gone now and driver names and numbers changed to match 2021. The region files have been tweaked as well to add a little more gloss to the car and with new Ambient Occlusion files the cars really pop now.

So please enjoy and we hope there is no errors but if there is please let us know nicely and we will attempt to repair them. Please provide some feedback on the tyres and changes. Thanks FVR.

Please understand that if you find a fault this is a constant Work in Progress we are only human let us know as we may be able to update it but enjoy it for the short term. We do this for our own enjoyment and hopefully yours along the way. We aren't a big team and with life getting in the way it just means you get what you paid for.

2021 Mod is independent of the previous mods. We built the models from scratch so they aren't perfect but modding is a hobby.



AUFM v21.08 - Official Public Release

AUZB v21.09 - Official Public Release

This has been another strange year for everything due to Covid-19, including FVRFactor. This is the second year we haven't had an inhouse painter. FVRRetrogamers, V8Skinner and Isaac35 have done the majority of skins for this mod. Feralarri has painstakingly adjusted them to get them to work successfully in the mod. Many hours were taken.
Some more physics works and modification.

Image Space Incorporated and S397 for taking rFactor 2 over and allowing us the opportunity to be a part of the success of this and it's predecessor rFactor 1.

This is not a patch - it is a version 21 short for 2021 Series. This is a new package completely. The previous mods will get a rework. You don't need to uninstal previous versions at this stage evcentually be updated.

AND FINALLY AS ALWAYS A BIG SPECIAL THANKS

To our partners, kids and our cats and dogs for putting up with our hobby since we started all these mods. The 2021 mod has taken a extra long time to get to this point as we have lost a few full time members but hopefully what we have put out is worthwhile. We ar getting older. It is a work in progress and will not be worked on any further unless there is something life threatening.
