It's been such a long time...the North American GT Championship by RaceSims Revolution and The Pits

This mod is for rFactor and is a simulated touring car championship based on the SCCA Speed World Challenge GT series.

This mod has probably been one of the most notorious mods of all time...it's been known about for years, feared dead for almost as long, and resurrected time and time again, with more lives than any cat. There have been more people involved with this mod than could be imagined, and sadly, even some people who are no longer with us but joined the team way back in the day.

Had someone told us that it would be almost three years from conception to fruition, we probably would have never even started it. Both RSR and The Pits got the idea for a World Challenge GT mod at about the same time, and after a little negotiation between the two groups, it was decided to combine forces.

However, it was not to be so smooth for the rest of the trip. People on both teams were getting tired of modding, plus some occasional friction, and as well people just disappearing caused the project to slow to a crawl. Everything imaginable was thrown in the path of the mod. How it ever got completely finished is due purely to the tenacity of the RSR and Pits teams, that they decided that the mod would be completed...no matter what. And finally..."soon" is HERE!
