The "excitement in the driving experience" nailed it for me, iRacing I played tons and used to spend ages practicing and did not enjoy much of it at all but did enjoy the races. In RF2 I literally enjoy every lap, the feeling of the car through the wheel brings so much enjoyment in the driving experience

Thats not really hard to do. This game can easily compete with the most popular ones on the market. It is a matter of pushing and investing. I got this game 2 days ago and I am quite impressed by driving model. Way more fun to drive than AC. Huge potential in physics and driving. Hopefully devs will do right thing and just improve platform and multiplayer as this is biggest weakness.

@JBVXR Год назад

I've heard iRacing called Guitar Hero with a wheel and pedals. The driving can feel 'formulaic', as opposed to the thrill of driving a car. Ultimately the reason so many of us love cars (combustion cars usually) is theatre and character. I think other sims provide that better than iRacing, they let you enjoy being on and over the limit. Just my 2c, what do I know. And yea, the RF2 pricing model is a bit scummy making you buy all the cars, iRacing is scummy in that you lose content you've bought if you don't pay the monthly ransom. They'll all try and screw ya some way, I do trust Reiza (AMS2) though tbf.

@yeagemk Год назад

Hey Dave - I completely get what you are saying. I originally started with Iracing about 7-8 years ago, and it was a much different story at that time - What Iracing provided you couldnt get anywhere else. Its changing though. There is more competition, and at the end of the day, sim racers want the best experience they can get. The truth of the matter is, once you get used to playing a sim with a driving experiece as rich as Rfactor2, driving a car in Iracing just seems...2 dimensional. EVEN with the dated UI and stability issues. There are many sim racers who are perfectly fine putting up with that, as long as the driving experience itself is good. You hit the nail on the head, Iracing really just is Accellerate, Brake, Turn with nothing in between. I want to love Iracing. I love the idea it. But in recent months, I will jump into a practice session only to turn it off moments later to boot up AC, ACC or RF2. I am sure its not just you and I having these feels, and if thats the case, Iracing will be in big trouble if they dont address the issues that simracers are having on their platform. Bringing at least some of those features that you mentioned; dynanmic weather, rain, flat spots on tires/better force feedback would be a great place to start.

@JallyTee Год назад

Well said, I think iRacing really should stop what they are doing with adding rain and just improve the issues they have, but most of all make a new engine and produce iRacing 2.0 if they want to stay current

@MaxwellSerna Год назад

I agreed with you Dave, I race in ACC and I used to love it but I got bored by the limited content, then I have tried Iracing but man, the price to be racing each... then i started hearing about RF2 and all my friends telling me I have to try it and since then Im addicted to the game, It doesn't have the most beautiful graphics but the experience of driving any car in game is just amazing. Great Video Dave as always, I hope one day we can race together!

@ecurbrebuh6558 Год назад

Hi Dave! Thanks for this video. I tried rF2 awhile back and gave up. I just couldn't get it configured - controls, graphics, etc. With all your enthusiasm for the sim and your advice to spend an hour to get it all sorted out. So I did just that - TRUTH: took me more than an hour, but I'm slow. I got the graphics, controls, and even got SimHub dash overlay working as well. I love the game now! Thank you! Thank you!

@VMVarga-yf6eg Год назад

100% agree Dave. I have tried all sims but always come back to rfactor2. So glad LFM have given it a new lease of life! The tyre degradation punishes poor driving. Make sure you take the McLaren Senna for a drive, my favourite car in Rfactor 2

@charleschilders2041 Год назад

I agree, I have used them all except RF2 because every time I tried Rf2 it was a mess that crashed a lot. I tried it again because of your coverage. The cars feel amazing. No other sims feel like this. You can keep a car right on the edge of sliding. I could not even feel the edge on most cars.

@RacingWithChuck27 Год назад

I feel irqcing lacks enough Yaw, the ir18 is their best car but if you get close to pushing the envelope at 💯 it’s hard to recover

@ExcamBarao Год назад

LFM is doing an awesome job bringing an extra life to ACC/RF2 and gladly pushing iRacing to review some issues, which is good for us simracers. I believe LFM will go to AMS2 and RaceRoom very soon and then IRacing will be in trouble if they don’t change something. Let’s see how long this RF2/LFM hype is going to last for iRacers like you Dave lol

@davecamyt Год назад

If it continues to give me the same racing I'm currently getting, I'll be around for a while 😁

@SlightlyMisunderstood Год назад

RF2 is very good. Always been fantastic in the physics/ driving model. It’s just the UI and the lack of a single player mode. But yeah for sure the driving and feel is superb. The weather system and dynamic time of day also work very well.

@stevensimpson Год назад

My only Gripe now with RF2 is the lack of track specific setups in the base content. That's one thing ACC and IRacing at least give you out of the box. Not looking for a perfect setup, just something in the ballpark. Hoping LFM can also make a good 'different' range of series to race in... there's plenty GT3 ones for ACC and IRacing, so need something different.

@14ryan Год назад

factual steven i have my own setups for f3 and f4 on iracing and then for other series i only do once in a while the fixed setup series work perfectly. would be nice to have the same kinda series for rf2

@tarmacterrorist.thepotato Год назад

The RF2 Re-surgence is absolutely fantastic and great to see! The LFM platform is just amzing for it, they've done a great thing for RF2! There's been so much hard work put into the sim this year by S397 they deserve it! And you but the content once and its yours! I'd love to try iracing but its the one serious sim i've never tried because i don't agree with renting stuff i've paid to own. I would'nt mind owning the content but still having to pay a subscription for a really decent marshalled multiplayer system when i go online, but I wanna be able to play offline whenever I want without a sub. Been with RF2 since the begining, before that RF1. Its had alot of problems over the years but has always had massive potential. I really hope all of this years developments with drive up sales so they can afford to expand with more staff and push it even further! Great video!!!

@Ermz Год назад

Never thought I'd see these two worlds collide. Glad you're enjoying it, Dave! My iRacing subscription expired last month, and if rF2 managed to boot into the menu here, I'd give it a bash. Alas, I'll live vicariously via your streams.

@JallyTee Год назад

I feel like I'm riding the same wave as you Dave. The excitement of weather changing and tire management makes it so enjoyable, the confidence RF2 gives me with how it drives is something iRacing could not give me after a year of driving it, maybe I'm just bad at driving. also how can RF2 BTCC cars compete so close with FWD and RWD but iRacing GT3 cars never seem to be balanced? loving your content, lets hope the BTCC racing stays popular!

One talented guy on slowest bop car can beat another guy without talent but on faster bop car. What's the problem? iRating and ELO rating is full garbage, if it separate drivers. BOP is useless in this situation, what we already can see nowadays. They can't explain people, that there is someone is faster than you even on slower car, so, they create rating system. Full garbage. They steal racing passion, no real fighting, just a boring races. Everyone on his place....

My very first time to play rFactor 2 today after reading this presentation. I'm old and I'm coming from the old Midtown Madness (released 1999 haha!), then AC, ACC, Proj 1 and 2.

I first tried RFactor 2 last week with a few rookie Alpine races on Palm Beach. I agree with everything you said, Dave. I’m using also CrewChief and Racelabs overlays, just like iRacing. Having fun so far and contemplating if I should buy the DLC or go the usual way of buying new content for iRacing’s new season.

@nickmartin2380 Год назад

Agree with everything youve said... personally spent a fair wack on iracing. but like you it just got samey to me..have had RF2 for a few years, and blew the dust off it when lfm announced..and i'm loving it..The FFB, car physics is the best out there from my point of view. And its nice to race door to door with others and not worry too much about netcode..which we all know is pretty dire in iracing.

@khalidramadan8755 Год назад

Really agree with all the points made, felt I had the same impressions as well when trying it out. One massive plus point for LFM: early sign ups! The website makes it soooo convenient to just sign up to a bunch of races back-to-back (to-back-to-back...) ahead of time compared to iRacing. It's doable in iRacing but far more complicated than what it needs to be imo

Glad more RU-vidrs are taking a stand against the extortion operation iRacing has been running for years. Stating that you're willing to walk away from such a substantial investment into the company by not renewing says an awful lot about your feelings towards them. It really is sad that the community has propped them up for this long but change is better late than never, so glad to finally see some decent competition rising up.

@lasercutter Год назад

I can't believe people that are used to iracing prices are complaining about rF2 DLC costs At the moment there are 4 series being run on LFM with a fifth coming soon, the Alpines at Nola costs nothing to join as it uses free content The upcoming Taatus series is also free as that too uses free content The BTCC series will cost £20.23 ( 5 cars) and the track is free this week Once you get into the endurance racing it gets more expensive with the Sebring event costing £47.87 (£36.96 for the 11 cars and £7.91 for the track) The most expensive series by far is the Nurburgring event at £62.46 as it uses GT3 and BTCC cars, the GT3 pack is £31.68 (14 cars) the BTCC cars as previously mentioned cost £20.23 and the track costs £10.55 So yes, if you want to run everything on LFM it adds up but that's no different to joining iracing and trying to get all the content for the series you want to run (I'd bet iracing costs more though) but if you really just wanted to try rF2 out it needn't break the bank, personally I'd go for the BTCC events but if even that is too costly just jump into the Alpine series There are quite often sales where the packs are reduced and buying track packs is better than getting them individually At the end of the day everyone is different and people like what they like, just wanted to show that just because Dave got overexcited and went on a spending spree it isn't essential to do that to give rF2 a try

@davecamyt Год назад

I did get a little excited, not gonna lie 😁

@willpianista Год назад

Same here. Loved iracing until I got bored with gt3. Tried to go back and is always the same thing . It's great if the cars you like has actually people to the regular stuff, otherwise forget it. Rf2 has the best feeling for me regarding not only handling but race dynamics , so yeah, it's where I want to be from time to time. Now with BTCC is a dream becoming true.

@craigbeesley9601 Год назад

I've owned rFactor 2 for about 6 years, played it once when I first downloaded it, didn't like it and never used it again, always used iRacing. This video alone made me just update it and jump on, 30 mins later messing with some key binds I'm in a race at practice session at Oulton park and blown away by the physics and driving, they're so good! And so much more fun than iRacing!! Certainly will be fine tuning this game and playing it a lot more.

@kondor99999 9 месяцев назад

Tried rF2 again just the other day and was blown away. This is low-key the best offline racing you can get. iRacing's AI is a little better, but the car handling in rF2 is better. I have literally every car they've ever released, but didn't realize just how much the core sim has improved over the last year.

@alanluth6755 Год назад

The problem I have with iRacing and then the popular series is those community people polling and sending in the schedule, they always stick to the same old boring tracks. I don't want to race Spa and Monza every season, give me Philip Island, Mid-Ohio, Belle Isle just rotate all tracks more.

@aubreycolemanracing Год назад

It's a scary thought when you look at how much money people spend on iRacing, when we now see it's completely possible to not have to spend that kind of crazy money. Great video Dave. Also you should try the Porsche Flat 6 mod, the ffb and the way these cars feel is amazing.

Interesting this vid you’ve made DC, I’m also a iracing user, well now I am, I started on Raceroom when I moved to PC in 2019 and was a heavy user of the Touring cars as this is my favourite type of car to race but my mate Jamie got me into iracing and thats where all my league and online racing remains to this day, however I keep wanting to try and also use RF2 and especially as they now have the BTCC. I have had a few small sessions on RF2 and thought it felt brilliant but as you’ve highlighted, not great to setup and until LFM was very poor online, but now things are different and after watching your vid think I am going to make some time and effort and get on there. Thanks for making this vid and all others you do. Lee - NXTGEN RACING

Simulator companies must read this and understand one easy thing. People love real life unpredictable feeling. If they create boring online races where everyone will run on it's place all race, they loose them. People are not monkeys, and some day they understand what is going on and just leave simracing. Because we are humans, we love real competitions with each other.

it is pretty much ok. You have to toy with world scale when jumping over some cars. I would rank it "totally perfect" if it was not for one thing which I am unfortunately supersensitive to.

Tried rF2 only with the free LFM races and it was totally rubbish. HUD is horrid to say the least, the menus are totally without any logic. I race only 1 or 2 series in iRacing and already have the content, makes no sense to me to buy content in rF2. But I hope that rF2 gets their act together and becomes a real competition for iRacing for Multiplayer. But IMHO LFM will also become a subscription soon enough.

Great video Dave. And one thing I won’t be doing, as I prefer to put my hard earned money to things worthwhile, paying a “game” that requires subscriptions, no friggen way, especially the cost of vehicles and tracks.. that’s a hell no for me. But the other sims have me way over iracing due to as you mentioned …their lack of countless areas of interest that other sims have. I truly feel all sims should do what project cars 2 did…buy the game and sure the odd dlc for key upgrades, but it had all the tracks all the cars etc right out of the box… when I pay for something in life, I expect to open the product and use it immediately without any additional costs… so at least due to this vid and a few others from users, I know to stay away from iracing like the plague, as I want my money to go much further for me for what I buy. :). Thanks for the insights.

@harrydodd2226 Год назад

Dave I have done the same thing, I left iracing at the beginning of this yr. and my subscription is up in Dec. I haven't tried iracing for a almost a yr. my problem was that I am not a winning driver but I do like to finish the race, I went for over a month and couldn't even finish because some would hit me or wreck someone else and they would hit, and I got tired of people cussing fussing, I tried serval time s to get iracing to do something or have leagues for older members, nothing!! so that was it, I,m done, was racing on there for 10 yrs. I'm racing on ACC, RaceRoom, and some Rfactor. Good Video Dave...

@Willbrse Год назад

I'm a rF2 racer and always focus on a single sim so what is happening in rF2 is nice to see for sure. That said, the guy who made this rF2 tire model has been working for iR for a couple years already. I'm guessing he is also part of the rain development since both things need to work together. This project should be close to release given the time he joined them. I expect next iR big update (rain and tire model) to be far superior to rF2 unless S397 decides to improve what they have, but they have many other issues to focus right now.

@AdamB5000 Год назад

I will agree with you when you said iRacing sometimes feels stale. iRacing can very much improve the nature of each race, so that it feels unique. This can be done with weather, visuals, sounds, time of year, etc. Even subtle changes can be big. But right now it always feels the same. I'm an iRacing lifer. Well, that is, until someone has a better product. But sincerely, I don't have time for iRacing to feel stale because most of my time is taken up by my two young boys. I only have small windows so it's hard to get bored of it when you can log less than 2 hrs/week. But for those who can race every day, I get it.

@schmid1.079 Год назад

I've recently gotten into iRacing because my new Fanatec wheel had a free 3 month trail attached to it. Although I've been enjoying the online racing, the driving itself feels so floaty. Coming from AC and ACC, it's something I'm really struggling with and really don't enjoy. Thats just not how real cars feel. I'm really glad I found your video, because I likely won't invest anything into iRacing and rFactor2 seems like it could be right up my lane.

I’ve tried a few different sims and I always come back to iRacing, I think it’s probably comfortability with iRacing more than anything after playing it for years, I quite liked ACC but the online just never really kept me interested, and iRacing offers the endurance events (don’t know if any other sims offer these I’m not gunna pretend that I’ve checked either so feel free anyone to let me know if other sims do) but iRacing will be remaining my choice for the time being, glad you’re enjoying RF2 though Dave! 😁

@balkntv Год назад

appreciate getting some exposure on rf2 and new LFM servers. I am trying to race it as well but my stream hours are still quite too early so hard to get some participation. Cheers for getting the word out there.

I run iRacing, GT4, GT3, this week I ran lmp1 to change it, but I really am finding iRacing very boring, FFB is just good, without much detail, I had Rf2 uninstalled for a long time, I installed it after LFM, I'm just running the Alpine, I haven't spent anything on rf2 yet, but I'm enjoying it a lot, the car vibrates with worn tires, lots of details on the ffb, races with random weather are wonderful, LFM is putting quality content in its races, especially the one developed by Studio 397 and motorsports games, these give much more life, ambiance, immersion than the iRacing tracks, well I said too much I hope rfactor 2 continues to evolve. Sorry for Google English

@sebionz Год назад

Totalement d'accord !!! Fully agree!!! Iracing sub not renewed for me...

@demkon Год назад

I've just started getting into LFM and rfactor 2 and there are atleast 2 rookie series that don't require any purchases other than base game.

@michaelklimpel3020 Год назад

Thank you Dav for your very detailed and honest opinion as to why you currently prefer RF2 to I-Racing. I love RF2, too, and I spent the most hours playing there by far. However, I must say that I-Racing does some things a little better than RF2. I would wish for the following points in RF2: - better visual damage model. - Introduction of the meatball flag for heavy vehicle damage - Better flagrule implementation in the AI -The AI Editor from I-Racing, where you can adjust your AI opponents as you like (one of the best features in I-Racing) Since many points are limited to the single player, it should be clear to everyone that I'm not an online racer like Dav. But that's my point so far.

@azstratus1 Год назад

Dang Dave after watching this and watching your recent RF2 racing content, I am gonna have to jump back into RF2 and try LFM!

@flat6speed Год назад

Would love to watch you drive some prototypes on rF 2. Started playing it a couple of months ago and it's quickly become my go to sim. The LMP3 and LMP2 cars feel great -- especially the Ligiers. There's a comprehensive spreadsheet out there that ranks the quality of all of the available modded tracks and there's some really fantastic ones out there.

@Simlife101 Год назад

@Price Donaldson Hi 👋 do you have a link to that spreadsheet ad I'm finding it really hard tone wise to find what's good and what isn't.

@inacionelsonful Год назад

I'm also an iracing guy with many years of iracing, and this video of yours is 100% what I think, it's precisely my opinion since I haven't played iracing for a while, since I started playing Rfactor2 more seriously, and just like you already have rfactor2 for many years and never played it

@stevehobbs5651 Год назад

Hey Dave, great video. I can absolutely relate to this. Why don’t you get a discussion going about Iracing. Do a shorts video asking people to comment with what small implementations they would like in Iracing to make it better. Then do a longer video to discuss the community’s idea’s . Iracing doesn’t need a massive overhaul, but with some small implementations it could be a lot better.

@hooligan6682 Год назад

Dave What a video !!! You’ve spoken for thousands of people i racing is stale and cost’s an arm and a leg

@McNab1986 Год назад

Another problem with iracing subscription is if you lose interest and don't renew, the minute any spark of interest refires, you have to risk paying for a full month, when that first race you could get punted off lap 1 turn 1 n have the interest instantly killed. Cost ya £13 quid or whatever it is, just to do that

@nunopinheiro75 Год назад

I've been on Iracing since May 2009, and i too have been bored the last few years, i also haven't done much Simracing like i use to, but i've been having a blast with rF2 and LFM

@vt6020 Год назад

I own RF2 and have used it to race against AI. I really love the way the cars feel and the wet racing etc. iRacing is my main sim because their VR implementation is the best out of any sim. I'm aware that there are ways to improve VR performance in RF2, but it still takes some fiddling to get things running smoothly. iRacing VR "just works", for the most part. I also enjoy the fact that iRacing staff generally fix issues with the sim in a timely manner. I've been working on getting my system optimized to run RF2, and as soon as I can get things stable, plan on giving LFM a try. It would be nice to have some variety and learn a new sim. It's too bad I'm so hard-headed about racing in VR, otherwise I already be signed up.

@gustavosaidler Год назад

I am really enjoying it as well. Every race feels unique, like you said, and weather + tyre degradation is really motivating me to play with setups and adjust my driving style. I do hope the player base continues to increase and the issues you mention are addressed. See you on the track!

@malice930 Год назад

I have to get my skills up to play online. I've owned ACC, AC and rfactor2 for the last couple of years. I always thought ACC felt weird but I though it was just me. Pretty much just play AC and Rf2. rf2 just feels good.

@rakoczyn Год назад

You are not alone, mate. I'm feeling the same with ACC, I prefer original AC. And I've been jumping on and off to rf2 for a while. Now I've found a nice league that I race in, and it's fantastic!

@varyagace Год назад

Everyone keeps saying rFactor2 car handling is so good, and I believe them, but I'd just like the damn interface and game to WORK out of the box. I did buy it a while back on sale and it just didn't work. Every other sim needs some level of setup to get running the first time, but at least they all actually recognized the wheel and had actual content installed to try out. rF2 just didn't. Glad you're enjoying it tho, bring it on the videos!

@racingismypassionDE Год назад

I can truly see where you are coming from in terms of the comparison. The basic package is sometimes weird as it misses some details to the tracks. The things you can buy are lovely. And who does not enjoy a Donington Park Race in wet conditions. Let’s see what the future will bring. The new rF2 releases are truly promising. And competition among the simulators will only benefit us gamers and that is not a bad thing ;-)

@WayWorthRacing Год назад

I can’t see my self not having iRACING because I’m to heavily invested not have it or it would be 1000s wasted. I have recently tried ACC and you have inspired me to try RF2, I just love racing online and racing in general. Like others I want the best experience I can have, they all have their shortcomings but it is nice to have options depending on the type of racing you are looking to do, each sim does one class a little better than the other. Having an absolute blast on ACC right now , not because its the best sim ever but because its new and different to me but, like all things that will wear off, if only we had a sim where we never lost that feeling or eventually weren’t left yearning for more. Ill always be an iRACER but that doesn’t mean we have to stop searching for great racing elsewhere.

@Thumbtwiddeler Год назад

yeah enjoying RF2 alongside ACC (my go to sim). Agree with you on the points around the HUD. Looking forward to seeing what they do in 2023

@kekke2000 Год назад

It's ok to burn out on a game after close to 3000 races. I have tried LFM + RF2 aswell and you're right, it is really good. But iRacing is still my go to, because everything is just there and ready. When LFM is entirely implemented in RF2 with schedule, store, stats etc right there in the main menu, I would probably jump in more often.

@alexsp7086 Год назад

This sim rFactor 2, has the best FFB physics I have ever felt. Makes my ts xw feel like a new wheel base

@outatimetv Год назад

I'm still happy getting my GT3 fix in acc and all my other racing needs are met by raceroom (most underrated SIM in my opinion) Would love to see what rf2 and iracing are like but the price tags that come with it are eye watering 😂 Edit. There is some really good racing to be had online in raceroom , ranking system needs some work but there track and car combos are always fun. The biggest let down for the online is the not just having a one time buy in so every one is split up content wise.

@docbeats5543 Год назад

Rf2 is 5€ on most cd key platforms

@TheCth777 7 месяцев назад

What made you go back to iRacing? Viewer engagement or gameplay?

@davecamyt 7 месяцев назад

Not too long after this video rf2 kinda died on LFM which meant no online races 🫤

@bboardman Год назад

been driving RF2 since it was in beta. glad to see it getting popular again as it was always my go-to sim

@jamessilva5857 Год назад

I do have to agree with you about rf2. It's really good at times. I do own my own servers for rf2. Tpsr is my server name. On the server side it's really time consuming to put up a single server. When building the server, you can select what car or cars and what track.

@mathiasjohansencellist Год назад

Yesss! Pressure is on for iRacing, I like that.

@dannymoffatsimracer Год назад

Same for me, loving LFM now with both games. The frustration with iracing giving incident points from people hitting the back of you just killed the fun for me. On top of that I just got bored when the new season started so I haven’t touched it for weeks now. Keep up the good videos Dave.

@jesper2129 Год назад

you know that if someone hitting you on lfm service does the same thing?

@dannymoffatsimracer Год назад

@@jesper2129 I know, but in iracing quite often the damage you receive is so huge you end up in the pits for the rest of the race, destroying your irating as well as safety rating.

@bigchungus3 Год назад

Racelab is available for RF2 now, which might help

@BDHRaceSimHardware Год назад

If I had to explain my thoughts on RF2 I'd have pretty much said the same, just not as well and as clearly as Dave. Another valuable contribution to the community Dave.

@davecamyt Год назад

You're too kind 😁 Although, there was probably 30 mins of rambling like a mad man which I cut out 😂

@RyanHellyer Год назад

I 100% agree with all of that. I think a lot of iRacers would enjoy things a lot more by just spending a little time on other games for a bit. There's a lot of good games out there and most of them are extremely good and offer a lot of things you don't get in the others.

@LyroLife Год назад

BIG NEWS UPDATE: rFactor 2 will let you play ONLINE race series WITHOUT having to own every car of the series. They are working on the CODE and it will we released at the end of february. So this might be the best option for simracing with amazing FFB. And this hobby will be extremly cheap as well.

@harald2101 Год назад

thx for answering all our questions. as soon as i have a few days off i will try rf2 out!

@Brocky05 Год назад

She's old now, but it's about time the cream started rising to the top, and LFM seem to have a big hand in it.

@vitorarbex Год назад

Lots of Very good and true points in this vídeo, now that you Just need a singles car, and the track to Race. Just made me jump into It, and its awesome. Only issue i had was the crashing on track load. But once It Works its awesome. And looks good now in DX11. The New interface is good as well.

@StealthNoodles_ Год назад

Great vid! I'm waiting on LFM to get rF2 out of Beta before I invest more money into it, not renewing my iRacing this Black Friday sale. Def looking forward for what's to come.

@Evets_79 Год назад

100% agreeing with you Dave. My iRacing subscriptions ends in Feb 23, and now its Blackfriday Deal… but i‘m not sure to renew it, because there is nothing new about iRacing, and their Protest system is somtimes getting me just a bit angry… 😁 rF2 with Lowfuelmotorsport is just another alternative for every online Racer, and i hope we are getting more series at LFM and more content and updates for rF2.

@curlyqv2467 Год назад

I truly wish I could afford to join a second sim but unfortunately, I can only choose one and I started on iRacing so I have to stick with it. There's just not enough servers playing the free content that I can get good use out of RF2

@dubtube6691 Год назад

❤️👍💯 the HUD is so not sexy. LFM brought me back to rfactor2. I love the new cars, sounds, tracks

@grzegorzkruk2109 Год назад

Never try RF2 I bought it once but I refound it becouse I couldn’t go through menu… but I’ve heard that they changed some stuff in menu and hearing You Dave I’m in looking forward for some Black Friday deals now! Hope that guys from iRacing are watching this! Cheers!!!

@simracer-65 Год назад

rf2 was my first sim & was amazed at the driving experience.......but wanted some online racing hence iRacing! Love how rf2 has moved on recently and look forward to trying some LFM 👍

@oktc68 Год назад

Nice one Dave, very interesting video, I'm happy for you, and it's good to hear that rF2 has got something for the online racing folks. I always felt sorry for iRacers, deprived of the best feeling ffb known to mankind (😉) It's far from perfect, the UK takes some getting used to, but it's worth putting up with just for the driving experience. I hope the online side continues to grow and attract more people. It's got a ways to go to catch up with iRacing's streamlined online experience, but I don't think any other sim can get close to the feel of rF2 legendary ffb. Enjoy and I hope it works out for you in the long term. Happy racing.

@ldalipis Год назад

I have bought almost every racing game the recent years and they are all enjoyable, but man, rFactor 2 gives me such a greater sim feeling, away ahead of everything else.

@bodasafur6078 Год назад

If you are coming from games such as gtr1 ,gtr2, race07 gtr evo , then rfactor 2 is up your street for sure , ive recently been playing rfactor2 again and it is a great game and i have been looking to get the LFM content , but ive been holding off as i still only use my g27 from way back when , i too love online racing but have not done any sinse the race department races on gtr evo . Rfactor2 has ignited that fire again and thats just doin hot laps at magny course in the civic , so much so ive ordered that moza r5 combo with the brake upgrade kit, when that shows up i will get the touring car content and for sure turn a wheel online again .
