What is rFactor 2?

A racing simulation centered on road races against AI or other players, including mixed-class and endurance events. Dynamic weather, day-night cycles, tire wear, and track surfaces that gain rubber or dry after rain affect grip, while community mods add cars and tracks.

  • +you prefer AI racing and endurance events
  • +you want VR support and community-made cars and tracks

Not for you if...

  • −you want a guided career mode
  • −you expect busy public lobbies and large competitive leagues
  • −you want all official cars and tracks included upfront
