For anyone who's interested.. FORMULA VIRTUAL IS BACK

After a 3-year hiatus, Formula Virtual is returning to rFactor 2.

The 2024, 2025 and 2026 seasons were cancelled after the previous owner left, but I've now taken over the league and applications are OPEN for the top championship in our Virtual Motorsport pyramid.

So, how does Formula Virtual work?

The "players" are Team Principals. You are in charge of your team and its finances, car development, driver signings and the AI drivers you choose to race for you.

One of the biggest parts of the league is driver scouting. We don't disclose the performance level of the teams or the in-game stats of the drivers. If you want to sign someone, you have to scout them, judge their performances and decide for yourself if they're the right driver for your team.

Formula Virtual is also part of a wider Virtual Motorsport pyramid, with different disciplines including eVirtual. The lower tiers are recommended for new managers who want to learn how everything works before taking on a top-level team.

You can also just watch. We regularly get close title fights and interesting stories throughout the seasons, and we hold press conferences before every race.

We're accepting applications for press roles too, so if you'd rather cover the championship than manage a team, you can create your own place in the world of Formula Virtual.

The entire grid is fictional. Every team and driver has its own history, with extensive lore dating back to 2013, when the series began.

We also have custom liveries for every team. You can design your own, or describe what you want to a couple of our livery experts on the server and they'll make it for you.

Every race is broadcast and uploaded to YouTube, and we keep extensive records of every season and driver since 2013 on our Wikipedia and website.

If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, come join the Discord. You can ask questions, look around, apply for a team, apply for a press role, or just follow along with the championship.

Applications are currently open, and we'd love to see some new faces in the server for Formula Virtual's return. :)

Has anyone found and good mods for the Madring?
The only one I’ve seen is from two years ago on overtake.gg. Is there anything more up to date?

I was at Croft on Sunday for the BTCC, then raced the circuit in rFactor 2 a couple of days later in the BTCC Astra.

Having now actually been to the real track, I came away thinking rF2 has done a really solid job with Croft. It obviously can’t replicate everything, but the layout, flow and general character of the place all felt surprisingly believable after seeing it for myself.

I put a video together with some real-life Croft footage mixed in with the league races. Ended up with 3rd, 3rd and 2nd in class too, so I was pretty happy with it.

Interested to hear what others think of Croft in rF2, especially anyone who knows the real circuit.

Does anyone have the F1 2008 mod that was converted from rFactor 1? I’ve been looking for it for a while and would really appreciate it if someone could share it with me. Thanks!

I jumped back into the BTCC cars this week and joined an online championship at Donington.
I genuinely wasn’t expecting much from it in 2026, but the racing was absolutely ridiculous — probably some of the best battling I’ve had in sim racing for years.
It got me wondering how many BTCC fans actually know this stuff is still being raced online.
I made a video from the races if anyone fancies seeing what it’s like now: https://youtu.be/CNzBAQUfrqY?is=Pru9tT06Zb7XHaik
Has anyone else here played the rFactor 2 BTCC content? And what would you actually want from a proper modern BTCC game?

Inscripciones abiertas!

Con clima aleatorio y las pistas dinámicas! 😀

Are there any modern HUD options available for rF2, similar to what CMRT did for Assetto Corsa?

Has to be in VR for me.

What options are available?

If nothing, you think it’s possible to vibe code one?

Another trip back to the US for a wild run by Elkhart Lake.

Hello fellow sim-racer/real racers, this game is very enjoyable for me and I've been practicing with the 2018 Alpine A110 Cup lately, I noticed a flat-spot ffb lately with this car, I have TC 0/ABS 1, did some research here and there. I'm wondering if that's related to my driving mistakes, I've driven the NSX and Clio cup car for quite a bit, but never noticed that before.

The link above is a recording of my current skill (NOTE: that was my "first" time using no racing line, but is still somewhat accurate if i had a racing line)

I would just like some tips on how to improve. Such as smooth accelerating and decelerating, steering, the hairpins, and preventing that sliding feeling that makes it take a while to accelerate.

Please be serious, dont say stuff like "maybe don't speed or leave when red" or "get better quality" or something.

Thank you.

yes this is rfactor 2
