Race enthusiasts, the moment has arrived! Today, we’re shifting gears from our “release candidate” phase to the much-anticipated full release of rFactor 2’s latest features. Let’s recap what’s in store for you on the track.

Fuel your racing addiction with events firing off every 1, 2, or 3 hours, tailored to suit every level of ambition, from beginner to advanced. These races are designed to be easier on your driver rank, allowing you to focus on the thrill of jumping into regular rFactor 2 races.

The beginner races will only use FREE content* so there’s no excuse not to give it a go 😉

*keep reading for info on how to claim your FREE BMW M2 CS

Step into the spotlight with our Special Events, scheduled extravaganzas that promise more intensity and even greater impacts on your Safety and Driver Ranks. Utilise the weekly practice leaderboards to sharpen your skills and prepare for the grand stage.

• Harness the power to host your own races with our seamless in-game server hosting, giving you the freedom to select any car and track combination.
  
• For those who prefer a more hands-on approach, the traditional server hosting options remain at your disposal.

You can purchase bundles of server minutes to use. The pricing is as follows:

• 1 hour – €1
  
• 6 hours – €6
  
• 12 hours – €9
  
• 24 Hours – €13

You can now easily configure your own server inside the game for your friends, team or community
Choosing to register with our new online system is entirely up to you, but those who do will be welcomed with open arms and exclusive perks. Enjoy a free BMW M2 CS for your racing pleasure when you verify your email address – don’t say we don’t look after you 😉!
If you choose not to sign up, you can still access community servers as usual.

Join the conversation and get the support you need directly through our Discord channel. Raise a ticket, share your experiences, or simply chat with fellow racers. It’s all happening here: rFactor 2 Discord.

The races change weekly on a Tuesday and you’ll see the upcoming schedule every Monday on the rFactor 2 social media pages: Facebook, Instagram, X

As we wave the checkered flag on our beta phase, we’re thrilled to bring these features into the full release. It’s an exciting time to be part of rFactor 2 online racing, and we’re looking forward to seeing you on track. Strap in and prepare for an unparalleled racing journey.

• How do I create an account – Open rFactor2 and navigate to the Online button – a notification screen will appear with instructions how to create an account.
  
• How do I change my name/email/nationality – You can do this in your profile by clicking on your name on the top navigation bar. Note: You can only do this once every 3 months otherwise you will need to open a support ticket on the rFactor 2 Discord
  
• I signed up, now what? – You’re free to register for any of the scheduled daily races and special events. Build up your driver and safety ranking to compete in intermediate and advanced races. You can also try out hosting a server and race anytime with your friends.
  
• Do I need to pay to use it? – Everything we’re releasing today for rFactor 2 online is free to use for everyone who owns the sim.
  
• What if I don’t want to register for rFactor 2 Online? You can still access community servers in the online menu > servers > community servers.
  
• What content comes with it? – By registering for rFactor 2 Online, users will be gifted the BMW M2 CS to their workshop. Users will only be able to drive content they own, but can still race others they do not own.
  
• Did someone say Career mode? – We are intending to develop a more in-depth league system (that we are calling “career mode”) but it does require more time and certainty of an expanded online player base for the sim and is not scheduled for release at this time.
  
• Do I need rFactor2 to use it? – Yes, rFactor2 Online is only available for players who own rFactor 2.
  
• Can I access any of the RaceControl information outside of the game? – Right now we don’t support this but in the future we aim to have a separate hub for this information.
  
• How do I increase my Safety Rank? – Your Safety Rank (SR) is dynamic and changes either up or down depending on how cleanly you race. Rating increases with clean laps and will decrease with collisions and penalties in qualifying and races.
  
• How do I increase my Driver Rank? – Driver Rank (DR) is calculated by your recent online race results. The system uses an ELO algorithm to determine your performance versus other competitors. Your ELO score is then translated into a rank you can see and then used to calculate which split you should be racing in. Special events generally have more rank points on offer than daily races.
  
• Can anyone race in a special event? – Different special events may have different entry requirements based on on your safety rating.
  
• Can I race with my own custom livery? – No not currently, you can only race online with official rFactor 2 content. We may explore this feature for potential future updates.
  
• Can I still race on my friend’s server? – Absolutely, the primary rFactor 2 open server list is still open to access through the online menus. Simply navigate to ‘servers’ to see the open list of official and community servers online.
  
• Can I make my own server for me and my team to practice on? – Yes, you can now host an online server through rFactor 2 Online. Time tokens can be purchased through the game or via the rFactor 2 steam store and redeemed through the ‘Host a server’ button in the server menu.
  
• How do I delete my account? – As detailed in the privacy policy when you sign up for an account you can do this through a request here.

• Having your Windows timezone set to manual instead of “auto” can result in the times for events being incorrect and not being able to join events.
  
• Practice servers are becoming too full too quickly and may give a timeout error – please be patient and try again in a few minutes or practice offline
  
• Some servers (particularly practices) are sometimes experiencing extreme latency (lag) usually when many users join at once. We advise leaving these servers and rejoining.
  
• Not all temporary mod files being deleted on boot – you may need to remove these manually
  
• Some larger circuits (such as Nurburgring), have the server start a few minutes later than expected – you may need to wait up to 4 minutes after a server is due to be started

Firstly, we want to address the elephant in the room: yes, we’re aware that the anticipation for new DLC content is high, and we thank you for your patience.

- AI won’t deliberately leave the track anymore to overtake
- AI only leave the track if they get pushed off, rather than going into the grass to keep their safety distance to other cars
​* Fixed AI attempting to overtake when the laws of physics would not allow them to leave their line without crashing
* Fixed an issue where cars would refuse to pit because other cars already requested a pit stop, causing them to run out of fuel in Qualifying
* Fixed AI randomly starting to shake and getting confused when overtaking another car, falling back or crashing
* Fixed cars running off the racing line and sometimes even into walls for a few seconds after spinning
* Fixed AI sometimes not braking enough for their pit boxes
* Added a warning to moddev when pit boxes don’t have waypoints, making them inaccessible to AI
* AI no longer move off the racing line into the middle of the track when shown blue flags, which caused traffic jams
* In addition to the previous fix, AI no longer lift off in corners when shown the blue flag - They will not fight back and stay predictable, following multiclass rules
* AI no longer incorrectly interpret player car’s deceleration and change of direction as acceleration - This fixes AI cars rear ending the player
* Various fixes and improvements for AI pedal inputs, including improved draft behaviour
* Fixed waypoint lapdist inaccuracies completely disabling AI braking, causing cars to run flat out into walls especially in or near the pits
* Fixed various issues with obstacle evasion, improving AI behaviour around cars out of control. Known issue: AI still occasionally fail to move off the racing line if they encounter an obstacle on the racing line mid-corner
* Added emergency state for AI allowing them to overdrive the car if necessary to avoid hitting walls or obstacles
* Improved safety car physics in wet conditions
* Fixed AI moving off their lines instantly, causing them to spin frequently if other cars are around - This fixes their behaviour to change lines just enough to get to where they need to be as efficiently as possible
* Fixed “Finish Session” and “Next Session” to actually finish the session, simulating the rest of it. When the player chooses to skip Qualifying, this will still ensure a reasonable starting grid
