rFactor 2 changes
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.
Revamped Ranking System:
- Safety RankYour commitment to clean racing earns you marks of distinction. Start with a bronze badge and ascend to platinum by showcasing your sportsmanship on the track. This will help you unlock new events.
Driver Rank: Your speed and skill could see you outpacing the competition. Kick off at bronze and chase down that platinum status as you overtake opponents and conquer the leaderboards.
Daily Races – Your Daily Dose of Adrenaline:
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 😉

In-Game Server Hosting – Your Race, Your Rules:
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.

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

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.
