Hi,

Just picked up information about this rally simulator which is stationed at M-Sport. Apparently it will be open for testing during their open day at the end of the month. Does anyone know what game engine it is build on? It looked very interesting indeed!

Here´s a video clip of it in action:

Here´s a clip of Hirvonen driving another simulator, it seems to be based on RBR:

It really does seem like it is based on RBR game engine at least on this video.For the stage I think they are using some parts of Tervaniemi 15k stage from BTB pack though it runs very smooth on the simulator. There was a talk about the simulator some time back, I'll see if I can find thread about it.

Edit: Found it. (http://www.motorsportforums.com/simulations/139736-warning-real-rally-simulation.html)

This was about Focus RS WRC simulator. Don't know if they are going to use the similar simulator or not but it doesn't seem like it's based of RBR, maybe they have upgraded in the meentime.

It seems as so the two simulators are quite different, at least graphics wise. Would have been interesting to give it a go, even though it seemed as the car was mightly understeering in the video (The one I posted).
