November 2009

With the signing of Force India we are delighted to announce that half of the current F1 grid are now rFactor Pro users. James Key, Force India's Technical Director explains their choice:

“The 2009 season rule changes meant aerodynamics was our number one priority. When we started budgeting for the 2010 season it became clear that driver-in-the-loop simulation was a technology we had to take advantage of to build on our achievements this year.

We have been watching the driver-in-the-loop simulation marketplace very closely over the last two seasons, during which time the quality has improved and the costs have reduced by an order of magnitude. We decided the time was right to invest in an rFactor Pro based solution as the projected return on investment, in terms of performance gain for a given spend, placed rFactor Pro right at the top of our list. It also provides higher quality visualization and a more comprehensive simulation environment than any other system we evaluated.”
