About
rFactor 2 is a realistic, easily extendable racing simulation from Studio 397. It offers the latest in vehicle and race customization, great graphics, outstanding multiplayer and the height of racing realism. rFactor 2 features mixed class road racing with ultra realistic dynamics, an immersive sound environment and stunning graphics, perfect for top-level esports and a rich single-player experience.
Race against a field of AI cars, or in multi-player mode against others. rFactor 2 supports a full day-night cycle as well as dynamically varying weather conditions such as rain which dynamically builds into puddles. Tracks feature "real-road" technology that changes the grip as more cars drive on it. You can run full 24 hour endurance events and in multi-player mode, driver swaps are also supported. Everything can be customized by the community, including adding new tracks and cars, and a wealth of add-ons are available on-line.Working with several partners, rFactor 2 has been used in hundreds of esport championships all over the world – in particular McLaren’s World’s Fastest Gamer and Formula E.

Honestly, just stick to AMS2 or LMU for GT racing. This will cost you an arm and a leg if you want the full experience and it doesn't even feel good to play. Also, the base game leaves behind a 27.2 GB folder after uninstallation, which you have to delete manually. Like wtf mate
Game stays running on Steam, actually played around for couple of minutes and itºs clocking at 5h, then I have to shut down steam to make it stop.
DO NOT BUY IF U HAVE A MOZA!, ♥♥♥♥ will not work no matter what you dooooo
On sale this game is an <insane> value. For something like 5 bucks you get a fully featured driving sim that is on par with Assetto Corsa (which is also an insane value). It is dated graphically, but otherwise it is excellent -- well, with some notes.... Expert reviewers claim that the FFB modelling, physics and tire modelling in this game are genuinely first-rate. This is literally one of the top sims for driving physics according to folks who claim to know such things. Its car set up features seem very complete. It has an interesting system for setting up quick races v ai, and the UI pretty intuitive. The bad? Well, it has NO career mode at all, lol. (Not a big deal at all imho... and I love the way you can configure the skill and aggression of the AI drving against you in races.) But the bad starts to become apparent as you get deeper into the content. There's a bunch of a la carte premium content that used to be free or at least bundled and priced more reasonably but now it's like 5 bux a track and 4 bucks a car... so, that sucks but then all driving sims seem to be into cash-raping their users now. It isn't iRacing at least. But worse, some of the original supplied content is JANKY. I think this game is in the bargain bin because they lost (or decided to no longer support) licensing agreements. So you get some tracks going by weird names (Monza is Brianza! Lol. Monaco is Monte Carlo... Spa is something silly cant recall) but worse original items can be a bit broken... the pit lane at "Monte Carlo" is totally broken for example... but a premium version (presumably with a functioning pit lane) of that track, Cirque D'Azur (something like that) is available to buy... wtf is up with tht? The free content available on STEAM WORKSHOP is NOT really <<extra content>>... the content there by Studio 397 is the content of the game that gets installed when you buy it... How it's also in "workshop'" I don't really understand, but if you subtract that Studio 397 stuff from the workshop offerings, you'll see whats left is pretty thin. (Although some of it looks pretty cool, gotta try it out.) So yeah for 5 dollars you get some issues. I haven't tried out online multiplayer yet (am waiting for my FFB wheel to show up)... but if the multiplayer is ok at all this game is a major steal despite the negatives such as they are. The core of this thing seems excellent. I think it's been abandoned/moved-on-from by its studio. FYI it is made by Studio 397 which is the developer of the current "hot" car sim, Le Mans Ultimate, which I guess sucks up all the attention. But the sad part is I think rFactor2 is in the bargain bin when maybe it deserved a longer, better run. Which happens to A LOT of games. Look. I only have a few hours in this game and I'm not an expert car simmer so you should research more than my opinion... there are issues I haven't gotten to in this review -- but google AI solves all documentation "how do I?" problems.... bottom line -- at the sale price this game is ridiculously worth exploring for anyone into sim driving.
never seen a game with controls and configs as unresponsive and unintuitive as this
так то игра может и хорошая, но она не поддерживает мой руль(pxn v10 pro), как будто лучше в пойти в assetto corsa поиграть
Lots of selection. feels decently realistic versus simcade
good graphics and good physics
It's amazing how this decent simulator managed to get turned into the awful mess of LMU
trash, My pc can run Beamng drive better then this game, dont buy it.
