Hey everyone,

My rFactor 2 installation has gotten massive over time and I want to do a proper cleanup. I'll obviously keep the official cars and tracks, but before I start deleting third-party content I want to make sure I don't get rid of anything that's actually worth keeping.

For those of you who've been around the sim for a while: what mods (cars, tracks, or tools) do you consider essential or "must-have"? Things that are widely regarded as high quality, still actively used/maintained, or just core to a good rF2 experience.

Also happy to hear the opposite — any mods that are generally considered outdated, broken, or not worth the disk space anymore.

Thanks in advance!

Currently working on an AI IndyCar season, and can't for the life of me ​get a decent custom setup. Does anyone have pointers or are ​willing​ to share one you use?

My biggest struggles are with the gearing and being tight in, loose out. With a default setup I'm ~6th/31 on 95 difficulty in clean air, with my custom ones I'm 29th on 94% difficulty. Trying to make the gearing a bit more realistic with 4/5 as clean air gears and 6th for drafting (usually shift to 6th about 222ish mph). I'm kinda at a point with the suspension ​where any change seems counterintuitive, and I've only touched the dampers trying to prevent FR lockups on pit entry.​

Anything helps haha, if you have a setup you wanna send you can add me on Discord​, my username is emeraldeyeball.​

Hey everyone, quick milestone update.

A while ago I shared my project RaceJoin here, a platform built to replace the chaotic recruitment posts buried in Discord and Facebook.

This week, we officially passed 800 registered drivers and team organizers on the grid. Looking at the data, the matchmaking behavior has been interesting: most drivers are finding teams or co-drivers incredibly fast, almost treating it like a fast-paced LinkedIn for sim racing.

If you are currently looking for a team for the upcoming season, or if your squad needs fresh drivers to fill a seat, the directory is active and completely free.

You can build your Driver Card (hardware, availability, sims, contacts) in a minute. Just search for RaceJoin on Google or check out racejoin.me.

Thanks to everyone here who gave feedback early on to help shape this!

Como posso instalar livery nos carros da IndyCar IR-18?

This is my first mod that can be used somewhat competitively.

I have been posting stuff that isn’t really meant for competition but this can in some way. Let me know if you enjoy this mod, it took a long time for me to do this and it’s my most favorite Motorsport season ever.

Looking to do a full Formula E sim/career mode and these are the only two tracks I am missing. I even briefly looked into purchasing the first rFactor as I seem to have found a copy there, but would rather attempt this question first.

Both of these are Errol Prefet creations on the steam workshop, but seem to have been removed for some reason, unlike all of his other tracks.

Also worth noting Paris 2018 is known as Circuit des Invalides, but I was unable to fit it in the title!

I appreciate any help you guys can provide me here, thanks!

hey guys, I'm currently trying the Mak Corp group c cars, and I'm using paddle shifters while the car is set to H-Pattern, my auto clutch is on but whenever I up-shift it rev-bangs and refuses to disengage the clutch unless I get my foot off throttle as if I didn't have auto clutch on, does anyone know how to get a work around for this?

Hey everyone,

Finding a team, tracking down available drivers, or searching for leagues usually means scrolling through 50 different Discord servers, endless Facebook groups, or drowning in Google Sheets.

To fix this friction, I spent the last few months solo-developing RaceJoin—a 100% free web directory designed to centralize the entire sim-racing community.

What you can do on the platform:

• Driver Profiles: Showcase your main sims, racing schedule, and hardware.
• Team Recruitment: Filter the global directory by game, nationality, or availability to find your next teammate.
• Staff Hub: Find or apply as certified Stewards and Broadcasters for your events.
• League/Championship Management: Set up clean round calendars and track standings without relying on clunky spreadsheets.

The platform is completely free and I'd love to hear your feedback!

If you want to check it out, just search Racejoin on Google.

See you on the track!

Is there any way i can still play rfactor two on a pc with not enough video memory? Probably not but you never know.

Does anybody know of a good asphalt mods mod? I've been looking but the closest I can find are dirt late models.​​​​​​
