V8Factor released
Discussion
V8Factor has been released for rFactor today http://forum.rscnet.org/showthread.ph the Bathurst track is awesome. All the 2006 cars are painted in their team colours, I had a quick go around the mountain, I'm only 10 secs off the pace so far, 2.22.548

Definitely the most anticipated mod for Australian players. I smell rFactor Central's Hall of Fame for this one (the car mod and the Bathurst track).
Hmmm, pretty hard to drive this, compared to RD3. Doing 2.21.125 at the moment.
I wonder if cars from different teams have varying performance (I'm currently driving a DJR Ford Falcon).
Looks like we both have a lot of practicing to do.

Only 10 seconds? According to the loading screen, the fastest lap record is 2.06.8594. It's more like 15 seconds off pace. Looks like we both have a lot of practicing to do.

I've just done my first laps, getting down to a 2m15.1s, still had it crossed up twice under braking at the top of the mountain and lifted (braked) turning right into the Caltex Chase, not quite got that flat out yet.

I think 2m10s will be done by us mere mortals but nothing to get close to the real lap times for a long while yet. And I think that's a good thing

Just tried the Ford, I must be a Ford man I guess.

The makers have already said that it is not possible to achieve Greg Murphy's lap record (2 minutes 6 secs), due to some small issues in the track. But I noticed some people on RaceSimCentral have gotten down to 2 minutes 9 seconds or something like that, which is simply amazing.
The cars have virtually no downforce at the front, so you need to turn in a little early, and then drift out of the exit under power on some corners.
Slightly lowering the default tyre pressure helps too.

Yep, I hate understeer so I'm doing that in most places I can get away with it, turn 1 (I've been clipping the inside curb most laps) and especially through the fast left handers over the Mountain section.
I turned down the default rear wing setting to 12 to do the Ford time above, my thinking being if I have little front downforce and lots of rear I'll turn it down to try to equal the grip front/rear
Gone back to a Holden and chose Greg Murphy's car for a bit of inspiration and after a handful of laps I'm into the 2m12s now, I'll probably start messing with the setup next to see what can be changed.
2m12.3s (this was a pretty clean lap too, only a little brake locking in some places) - www.mercia.biz/rfactor/Bathurst-FWD-2m12-3s.Vcr
