This Footwork–Arrows car had a disastrious 1991 season. Firstly it couldn’t fit its engine, the Porsche 3512 3.5 V12, but even when it did it was heavy, slow, and unreliable. By mid-season the team redesigned the chassis to fit a Hart-prepared Cosworth-Ford DFR V8 engine, but that only led to a season high 10th-place finish in the Japanese Grand Prix.
First seen in sim racing with F1GP (1992).

In their weekly update today the rFactor 2 developer announced a new rendering option for VR that stops the computer having to render pixels you can’t see in the VR headset. Not rendering these areas offers a small performance increase.
This option is also configurable in the player.JSON if you encounter any issues with it.
