Welcome to the world of rfactor I am sure you will have alot of fun with it

Best place to go for Mods and Track would be here. They have more than any other game out there and the quality just seems to get better and better.

rFactor Central - Community Driven Sim Racing Resource for rFactor by ISI | rFactor Car mods, rFactor Tracks, Car Setups, rFactor Screenshots

Also go here for lots of info about the game and wheel settings etc if you cant find the answer at RaceDepartment.

Thankyou a great help Do you know where i can Get The BTCC Mod for Rfactor from as i cant find it on their

 

[Patrick van Driel]

The BTCC mod is not a legal conversion so not supported by RFC and Racedepartment.

 

[Matthew Parr]

Oh right ok so can i download it or not ?

Oh right ok so can i download it or not ?

well, you can download whatever you like... but am guessing you'll not find a link posted here and you obv won't see it run as an event

I'm tempted to buy R factor but im not sure whether i would play it due to Gtr evolution

 

[Matthew Parr]

Ye i havent got Gtr evolution YET but i bougt rfactor because of its ood reputation! and i think its brilliant tbh.Its well worth it.

 

[Andrew Evans]

I'm tempted to buy R factor but im not sure whether i would play it due to Gtr evolution

man - i was in the same quandry but with the evo delays i figured why not...

it's really lovely... personally i think it's more hardcore than race 07... and with all the mods there's always new joy to discover.... taken part in 2 rd events - porsches last week and f1 this evening... immense goodness - and since our rF events are way more intermittent than race 07 you'll totally have time to play both... do iiiiiit!

 

[Jarkko Rantajoki]

Yeah if he only has simracing experience from Race07 he is seriously going to be facing reality
Race07 is forgiving, and easy, comparing it to any other sim.
Only thing to say is, dont let it put ya down, theres realfeel plugin for good ffb, theres huge amount of tracks and mods, and those can be varied in quality, some are very good, some arent too much.. in time you will find the mods you enjoy the most, learn more, get better car control.. and jump in for the next step of simracing pretty much. So be patient with the game, it WILL reward you greatly in the end.

The net code in rFactor is very good and great for running 40+ cars in a field!

The Lienz tracks are excellent and very well done too

With all the updates and extra car classes they added after release, rFactor is definately a good quality sim now

 

[Matthew Parr]

Ik now ive been playing it for about 5 or 6 day now and i havent played Race 07 once! lol but tonight i will be in FBMW night
