rFactor was revolutionary back when it came out all the way back in 2005, and does show its age here and there. The graphics and ai are not that good compared to what we have now with sims like AC and the online capabilities of IRacing. BUT, it's still is worth going back to due to the loved Force-Feedback and all the different mods that are available on the web. My thing was I remember my Dad back in the day racing in the FunCups online. Him having a MOMO Logitech wheel on the desk, then me sitting in a chair and always wanted to try out sim racing at a very young age. Now almost 15 years later, here we are. Even though the servers are down and the ai likes to run you off the road, I can see why it was one of/if not the most popular sim back in the day. Crazy that a lot of the bases for modern racing titles like NASCAR and F1 still use some tweaked or iteration of this, but it shows once you get to drive around a few laps. TL;DR- Fun to go back to.
There is absolutely no reason to buy this game. There are far better sims with better tire simulation and physics, better graphics, more cars, and easier setup or design. It's also very expensive when it's not on sale. Then why bother having this? One of the oldest and most noble racing sims, and the mother of all moddable racing games, still holds up to this day living on as a portable racing sim, greatly favored by the now-booming android Winemu scene. Its portability, vast abundance of mods and ACTIVE mod and league community keeps this awesome sim affordable and popular even today, guaranteeing you will find something to do once you get it up and running. So popular in fact it spanned multiple spinoff titles and racing sims mostly coming from Latin America. Although it does have some flaws (please add the "-fullproc" command to your launch options!) given that it's two decades old, you can always find ways to make this sim uniquely yours using fixes online. While moddability is still as tedious as it was in 2006, having the option to safely download it through steam anytime is very refreshing and encouraging. Don't expect major things from the FFB settings; it's the Achilles' heel of this game. (get a plugin!) If you own a less powerful PC or want to try sim racing on a budget, this can be a great place to start. Please wait for a steam sale and DO NOT BUY RFACTOR 2!
