Two icons are set to disappear from the buyable rFactor 2 content roster: Le Mans and two Ferraris will no longer be available for purchase once 2025 commences.
Studio 397 and Motorsport Games are laser-focused on Le Mans Ultimate, so naturally, rFactor 2 has hardly seen any news since the official WEC game launched into Early Access in February of 2024. As the year winds down, however, there is a bit of news surrounding the sim - the Circuit de La Sarthe in Le Mans and the Ferrari 488 GT3 and GTE cars will no longer be available for players to purchase from January 1, 2025 onwards.
An expiring licensing agreement means that the content pieces cannot be sold anymore. Anyone who owns them, however, will still be able to run them. They are also part of the current Steam Sale and will also be part of the Steam Winter Sale, which should commence right before Christmas.
The two versions of the 488 are the only Ferrari cars available as first-party content in rFactor 2. Of course, that does not keep the community from creating mods for vehicles with the iconic prancing horse on them. Le Mans, meanwhile, used to be a staple for rF2, especially when Virtual Le Mans was the center of attention during the COVID pandemic.
For Motorsport Games, this is not the only content that cannot be sold anymore once 2024 is over. The publisher also cannot sell its NASCAR games any longer after December 31, 2024, since the NASCAR license has switched hands to iRacing. The latter are currently developing NASCAR 25.
