Playing only in VR I can tell for sure rF2 is one of the best out there. Yes there is plenty of older content (old not bad) that doesn't look up to date any more. But the developer constantly releases new content that looks great.

The physics are the best, period.. You can feel driving a car, feel the suspension working, every bumb, just great..

VR + motion sim + rF2 = best sim experience to date

the only negative are the empty servers..

Es könnte so einfach sein, ist es aber nicht. Dieser kleine Songtext kommt mir jedes mal in den Sinn wenn ich RF2 Starte.

Die Sim als solches ist Mega, FFB = Großartig, Simulation von einfach allem = Großartig, Effekte / Wetter / Gripaufbau /Tag/Nacht.... = Großartig
Fahren gegen AI= schon sehr geil

jetzt das aber:
Online gegen andere = nur in einer Liga
Onlineshop = Katastrophe
sehen welchen Inhalt man besitzt = nicht einfach möglich
ich möchte einem Event Joinen kann aber nicht weil mir ein Fahrzeug fehlt welches ich nichtmal fahren will
ich möchte sehen welche DLC´s mir fehlen = mühseliges suchen im Store / Workshop
Leute das muss doch einfacher Gehen Ein Auto download gibt es doch schon teilweise wieso nicht auch mit workshop inhalt?
Wieso sehe ich nicht in der Bibliothek welche DLC ich besitze und welche nicht?
Das Ingame-UI gewöhnungsbedürftig aber da hat sich ja schon was getan.
wieso gibt es 2 GT3 Packs + einen Porsche GT3 DLC!!!
Bis zum nächsten Sale gibts hier keine Asche mehr von mir, selbst meine gekauften Reiza Packs + Gt3 packs werden mir nicht mehr angezeigt.. das ist sooo umständlich.

rF2 ist wirklich ne super Sim, mit iRacing und ACC das beste am Markt aber eines stört mich gewaltig --> und zwar euer Store für die DLCs! Sowas besch...enes hab ich noch nicht gesehen, sowas von unübersichtlich wie kaum wo anders. Ich hab absolut keine Übersicht mehr darüber was ich schon an Content gekauft habe. Bringt da mal n ordentliches System rein! Das geht gar nicht!

Obwohl nicht mehr die jüngste aller Simulationen noch immer gut!
Man findet eine Vielzahl an Cars und Tracks vor (danke an die diversen Modder!), sodass RF2 nicht so schnell langweilig wird!
Wer ein gutes Racing-Game mit unterschiedlichen Fahrzeugen (von diversen Cup-Rennen über die Formel E bis hin zur F1) sucht, ist mit RF2 gut bedient!

Grundsätzlich wirklich eine tolle Rennsimulation die mir sehr viel Spaß bereitet.
Das Fahrgefühl ist für mich das nachvollziehbarste und beste was ich bisher gespielt habe.
Die Grafik sieht bei neuem Content wirklich toll aus. Bei älteren Sachen ist das leider nicht so.

Größter Kritikpunkt ist für mich der Multiplayer. Kurz mal eine Lobby mit nen Kumpel aufmachen und los fahren?
Nein das geht nicht. Hat dein Kollege nicht alle Autos im Besitz, welche grade auf dem Server laufen, kann er nicht mit fahren. Das ist wirklich Schade. Da sind andere Genre-Vertreter deutlich besser aufgestellt. Ebenso wie ein fehlendes Ranking/Competition-System.

Also würde ich das Spiel einem Sim-Racer an Herz legen?
Ja, aufgrund der unheimlich guten Fahrphysik/FFB, aber man muss halt auch einige Komfort-Abstriche in Kauf nehmen.

Difficult decision. Bought the game, GTE pack and track pack. Visual / Performance in VR is not really good compared to PC2 / AMS2 / Raceroom / AC (OCed 3600x + 2070 super).
Sebring is basically undriveable, too bumpy in VR. The cars are really great. Physics and FFB is fantastic.
But it is not really enjoyable somehow. While I do not mind to spend on quality content, it feels a bit too expensive. The loading times are atrocious even with a very fast PCIe NVMe SSD!
Compared to other sims like Raceroom not worth it.

btw I have a Thrustmaster T500

rFactor 2 hat sich definitiv zu meiner Lieblings-Rennsimulation gemausert. Hier mal ein paar Vor- und Nachteile:

Vorteile:
+ Unglaublich gutes FFB, super Rückmeldung über das Lenkrad (für mein Gefühl das detailreichste im SimRacing)
+ sehr gute Fahrphysik generell, wie bei FFB
+ Große Modunterstützung, sowohl im Internet als auch im Steam Workshop sehr einfach zu installieren
+ bahnbrechendes Reifenmodell
+ Langstreckentauglich
+ starke KI (jedoch Achtung, vor allem bei Mod-Fahrzeugen und -Strecken nicht immer optimiert)

Mittel:
+/- Grafik ist sehr unterschiedlich, bei neuerem Content und einigen Mods auf aktuellem Niveau, bei älterem, lange nicht aktualisiertem Content und einigen Mods sehr unterdurchschnittlich
+/- Interface sehr funktional, manches eher kompliziert versteckt
+/- Grundspiel hat zwar viele verschiedene Strecken und Fahrzeugklassen, jedoch ist innerhalb der Klassen meist eine eher geringe Auswahl - die aber durch DLC-Inhalte und eben die Mods wiederum ergänzt wird

Nachteile:
- Allgemeiner technischer Zustand ist manchmal nervenaufreibend und kompliziert, kann so vor allem Neueinsteiger verschrecken
- Mit allen DLCs über die Steam-Inhalte etwas kompliziert und teuer
- Online ohne Ligabetrieb eher wenig los

rF2 hat definitiv seine Probleme, vor allem, wenn irgendetwas mal nicht richtig funktioniert kann man u. U. sehr lange nach dem Grund suchen (irgendeine zusätzliche Mod spinnt einfach rum bspw. und lässt einen die Autos nicht anzeigen, die auf dem Server sind). Aber alles in allem habe ich rF2 trotzdem lieben gelernt, einfach weil ich hier am allerbesten klar komme und durch die Rückmeldung im Lenkrad fast jede Bewegung des Fahrzeuges spüre, ein bisschen wie ein Popometer. Es hat schon seine Gründe, weshalb die rF2-Engine Grundlage a) bei vielen anderen Sims ist und b) auch von vielen Profi-Rennteams in Simulatoren genutzt wird.

Viel Spaß auf der Rennstrecke!
PS: Wer online fahren will, sollte mal bei Abgefahren! vorbeischauen ;-)

Alle paar Monate starte ich auch mal rFactor2 für eine kleine Ausfahrt. Doch jedes Mal endet es mit einer maßlosen Enttäuschung, da überhaupt nichts richtig funktioniert. Stattdessen verbringt man den Großteil der Zeit mit Fehlersuche und Behebung.

Ich habe mich lange mit einer Bewertung zurückgehalten, aber meine Geduld mit Produkt und Hersteller ist inzwischen am Ende. Daher ganz klar: Finder weg, das hier wird nichts mehr!

Stand 2021 ist rFactor2 mit deutlichem Abstand das insgesamt schlechteste Produkt auf dem Simulationsmarkt. Die Software wird weder die bereits existierenden Simulationen wie AC1, ACC oder iRacing, geschweige denn zukünftig erscheinende Titel jemals einholen... Vielmehr wurde rF2 von den genannten Simulationen bereits links und rechts überholt und abgehängt.

I will recommend this with the single condition that you use the new(Feb 29th, 2020) beta ui. This game reminds the user how much impact ui has on game play, and with the new update the game is fantastic. after getting the game, go to your steam library, right click the game, and then go into property. Then change the no beta to the public beta. The new ui is super easy to use, and does not make you want to die. do it.

I don't really need to mention game play, because you already know it is one of the best sims

Let's just put it this way:
Roaring down the highway, landscape goes past you, the engine is at a somewhat steady 7000RPM. It sounds like a mad dog, but in a serene way. Aggressive, yet soothing.
All you're experiencing is unprecedented sense of freedom. You're flying like a bird. Goosebumps all over your body.
This is what this software is all about. It's like being a child all over again.

Well, here's the story of my frustrating experience with r Factor 2 and here's why i regret spending my precious money on such an overrated product: After having played nearly 40 hours in r Factor 2+demo , downloaded 40 GB of mods , drove on nearly any circuit with any car available i decided to highlight some key areas where this game at best sucks.Before i continue, i have to inform the fanboys that i'm not delusional. r Factor 2 maybe still miles ahead of the competition in terms of realism , but that doesn't make it good.It just shows how bad the competition really is in the year 2020.So let's begin.
1.PHYSICS : I know what you will say.How can the biggest quality of this game be mentioned as negative? Well,the truth is that the base game is so poor in terms of content that it leaves the users with no other choice than to spice things up with mods from steam workshop, race department, i s r etc.What's the problem with mods you will ask? Well , mods are made by enthusiasts ,who are maybe good at programming but don't necessarily excel at understanding vehicle dynamics and driving techniques.That leads to cars that behave oddly at best and laughably at worst.Historic grand prix cars and karts are two examples i use to show that the programmers were probably under the influence of psychedelic mushrooms when making the mods.I also must add (and this is important) that although r Factor 2 simulates tires under and at-the-limit adequately ,it fails to simulate their behavior over it which in turn creates bad driving habits and bad muscle memory if you use it for race driving training.Finally the FFB feels completely unnatural in my Logitech DFGT at least

2.ONLINE. One of the key things i really wanted from a racing simulator like r Factor 2 was to experience fierce online competition in well known sanctioned races and championships that every car enthusiast loves.Some examples are: formula 1(new and historic),indycar ,le mans ,nascar ,dtm ,wtcc ,pikes peak ,goodwood and many others. Unfortunately i came to the realisation than not only r Factor 2 didn't include sanctioned-like races but the ones it manages to include are a perfect sign that the online is broken.And before you say i'm overreacting ,ask yourself this simple question:When was the last time you found a server that was responding,wasn't locked,had players and the race was not held in a unknown american racetrack with buffed up vw beetles.I'm waiting...

3.LACK OF OFFLINE CHAMPIONSHIPS. Apart from the online ,another area r factor 2 frustrates me is the lack of offline content.After completing a couple of quick race type events with some AI opponents(witch btw are a joke too as they treat an f1 race like a demolition derby) i got bored quite easily. The lack of proper points system championships killed the immersion for me once and for all.

4.ROUGH UNFINISHED & UNPOLISHED LOOK. It's no secret that r Factor 2 seems like its stuck in the beta testing phase even after its being sold for such a long time.User unfriendliness, dysfunctional menus, repetitive game crashes and incompatibility with many racing wheels are some of the reasons you will want to bang your head to the wall.

CONCLUSION. As a racing sim fan and amateur race driver i really wanted to love this game but it seems like the feelings are not mutual.I wouldn't recommend spending 30 euros for something so problematic but on the other hand it all comes down to personal preference.I just thought that opinions like mine should exist among an ocean of fanboy reviews made by teenagers who haven't sat on a bucket seat yet, to guide the more quality-driven non compromising individuals.

This game/simulator has decent physics but everything else is pretty much MEH. Multiplayer is horrible so if you are looking for an online racing, look elsewhere this one is the worst. Development of the title seems very slow, the UI is ancient era. I had high hopes for this sim but the evolution of the title is going at turtle speed.

Intially the game felt very fake and poor. I gave up on it trying to play it with a wheel.
The car just oversteers regardless of how I set up it to understeer.

However I found out that it was because the controller wasn't calibrated properly and it is very hard to calibrate the controller, I used to have a wheel, but now I only have a pad after moving overseas.

I had to tune the car so it is extreme understeering so its stable, this allowed me to slowly tune my controller so calibrate the feel properly. Then I graduatley setup the car to more balanced, eventually reverted to stock settings which was very balanced for a F1 car.

WIth the controller setup proeprly even on just a standard controller pad I can feel every single bump and curve, the forcefeedback feels good and can feel nearly every part of the car is very reaslitic.

But the prolbem with online multiplayer mode is that it takes forever to download the maps and you cann't find their maps on the workshop and download them manually, workshop maps download fairly quick.
But trying to play online I still couldn't, I went into a room but it was all fulled with bots and it takes 4-12 hours of downloading time just to download all contents for a single room.

Synopsis: It's still too rough around the edges for my liking and it doesn't offer enough to draw me away from AC, ACC, or Automobilista. However, I would advise you purchase it even if you have other sims since it's all very subjective and you can easily get a refund on Steam. That said, I've decided to keep the game to support the sim community in some small way and to see how RF2 develops in future.

Some negatives: It's 2020. One shouldn't have to mess around with configuration files (controller.json for FFB) to get a playable experience. It also fails to recognise my pedals (Heusinkveld Ultimates) whenever I connect a PS4 controller to my PC. No such issue with other sims.

Some positives: RF2 can provide a very compelling in-car feeling if you spend enough time on tweaking its settings. It also offers a unique set of official tracks and cars in comparison to other sims.

I purchased this sim back in 2012. I still have the receipt from Image Space(the original creators behind rFactor 2) I even spent an extra 50 dollars to upgrade to the lifetime subscription for this sim which was touted to give you benefits the regular version wouldn't have. I remember being excited about the next generation of sims at the time and thinking if any game could be the best, it would be rFactor 2! Boy was I naive back then! In August, it will have been 8 years since it's initial release!t Isn't that nuts?Sure I've had my share of fun with it, experimenting with mods(mainly because the original content was lacking), and playing until the wee hours of the night online(when it worked!). But even up until a few years ago, it turned out it didn't have much going for itself, other than a great modding community, which if it hadn't been for those guys, this sim would have come and gone. Now, flash forward to 2020, and we're still sitting here holding our breath, as we wait and hope with clenched fists that this sim will be the be all-end all of sims. But let's be realistic for a moment. I don't care how much of a sim racing purist you are, nobody can convince me anymore that this sim has a future. I mean, sure the physics are there(for some cars), and the sound design can be very good(depending on which car you race in) but that's about it. The graphics are really starting to be dated, the menu system is anything but intuitive and completely lackluster, the loading times are horrendous, the online community is fading, and the VR experience at times can be frustrating and worthy of a trip to the ER (headache-inducing, seizure-causing loading screens that stutter and flash rapidly to no end). To add insult to injury while your convulsing and puking all over the floor, Studio 397 thought it would be a great idea to start charging for individual cars and tracks. I get it. Their employees have to get paid, and they need the funds to continue to offer content, but isn't that something you plan for/budget for BEFORE you purchase a game studio? But who am I to judge though, I'm just another gamer who spent 100$ back in the day, waiting for them to deliver. I guess what could've been or should've been, in the end just isn't. Period.

rF2 + Nordschleife + VR + McLaren 650S = Orgasmic heaven ;)

ok, ok, I hated this track many years ago as driving it in an arcade way (looking at you original Forza) I could never really learn it properly, that obv is down to myself. But the sheer immersion and feedback rF2 gives I now not only have learned Nordschleife but have started doing my own basic tuning... Literally 99% hrs so far are on this track/car combo and am still having so much fun! With yet so many tracks and cars yet to try... Years of fun ahead :).... You have to try this if you love sim racing... And yes at present I only own a T300RS... Imagine what pleasure it will bring when I upgrade to a DD2 wheel ;)

The original rFactor was one of my all time favourite and most played racing sims, so as you can imagine my expectation for the sequel was indescribable. The thing is... it took a long time to be released and by that time my hype had waned down, and to make things worse it lacked content and was very barebones.

Meanwhile Assetto Corso was released, the modding community which was the soul of the original rFactor migrated, as I did, to Assetto Corsa and... well rFactor 2 was left to die. Nowadays, with a new developer rFactor 2 is a lot stronger with more and better content, but it's still too few, expensive and sparse to be my go-to racing simulator. Which is a pitty because, honestly, this is possibly has the best and most realistic physics out there.

Good Sim with great AI but it doesn't come with any cars or tracks. And the way they hide the good mods behind paywalls is absolute crap. Just make some proper DLC already. Sick of rolling the dice that some kids workshop rip from Race 07 works properly.

The best racing sim in my opinion, even years after release, but it's more complicated than that.

What do you buy, when you buy rFactor 2? You buy a great engine, but the free content that comes with it, is not so great, and doesn't do it justice. In fact, I've unsubscribed from probably 95% of the content the sim came with.

Available content varies greatly in quality, both graphically, and simulation wise.

There is very good content out there, both paid, and free, but you need to know what to get, and where to get it (ask around). Which is a major problem in my opinion. But once you do, it is fantastic. No other racing sim bring me so much pure driving joy as rFactor 2.

For those wondering; it is not unplayable with a gamepad, but I would say that out of all the racing sims it is the least playable with a gamepad, and is much better with a wheel. And yes, the interface is ugly, it's not bad, but not great either. Things are a little clunky (from settings to any sort of customisation, mods etc.), but once you know how it works, it works well.

In short: Clunky, but with the right content and setup, the feel of driving is absolutely brilliant.

As a simulator, it's BY FAR the best I've played with (among Assetto Corsa, Assetto Corsa Competizione and Project Cars 2). The FFB is so good that car feels alive: it is an absolute pleasure to drive. You can feel every small track imperfection, loss of grip or tyre damage.

The bundled content is just OK: not as extensive as PC2 or AC, not as consistent and polished as ACC. DLCs are rather expensive (some cost more than the game itself - currently at £25.79):
- £28.82 Formula E Bundle - 2 cars, 4 tracks
- £27.50 GT3 Bundle - 11 cars
- £19.25 Endurance Bundle - 7 cars
- £22.54 Track Expansion - 4 tracks
Community content and mods are not as good as in AC, but there are some really good cars (Apex Modding FIA GT3 2012, Endurance Series, Flat6 Series, ...) and tracks (Brands Hatch, Donington Park, ...).

3D graphics again is just OK, and worse among all 4 games.

The gameplay is just appalling:
- The UI was outdated the day it came out, and the new one (in public beta) is sluggish and not as good as in ACC or PC2. The HUD could really benefit from some good mods, or from being updated by Studio 397.
- AI is terrible
- Hosting a multiplayer session requires a lot of reading, trial and error.

Would I recommend this game? Despite all the negatives, it is still worth the money, especially if on sale.

This sim in particular is confusing to me. I hate 99% of my interaction with it, from the awful awful UI to the insane load times, AI that acts like you might as well be made to shove off the road, and yet so many people seem enamored with it simply for the physics. Yes it drives well, but so few of the cars are actually enjoyable to drive and instead feel like work to get around a track cleanly. Which I guess is part of the allure for some, but I prefer my racing sims to not be fighting me every step of the way. No part of this game ever has me coming back to it purely for the gameplay and instead I only ever play it when I accidentally see it on my desktop and feel guilty for buying it and not playing.

Everything I watched and read is 100% correct. The interface is something out of the 90's, I didn't even know I was in the game at first, I kept waiting for it to start. But, the Forcefeed back is like nothing else!! It feels more natural than any other game, you can feel the back end starting to lose grip and catch it early. All other games wait too long to tell you that you're losing grip and before you know it you're facing the wrong way (I'm looking at you iRacing).

My favorit racing game ever. The only game that comes even close is ACC. I just wish that they would give us more tracks and cars... just take my money. This is the only game where I just dont care what it cost... just bring it on and I will pay

TLDR Not for casuals. Not a complete experience but the good bits are as good as it gets. Lots of reading, trial and error and perhaps some config file editing will be required.

This is not a game, neither is it a complete simulator. With some work from the developer this could easily be the racing game to beat all racing games.

Force feedback (with Fanatec GT3 RS Wheel from around 2010) is probably the best of all the sims, with the sim (with some car mode) communicating exactly what the car is doing / going to do, when its right every detail of the road surface is signalled.

Visually the sim is quite nice, in daytime at least, night time lighting is bad. Audio is usually disappointing.

Physics / modelling is very good, however there are some issues with meta setup choices that really shouldnt work but do (minimum tyre pressures).

The game UI is pretty awful and even the new UI they have been developing for a year or two is an improvement but still quite dated and clunky.

The game has no support at all for a single player championship (3rd party external tools can be used to cobble one together).

Ai is quite entertaining and frustrating to drive with, at time very lifelike and battles hard for position at others very computerlike and will randomly brake for a fast corner etc. They are always incapable of modulating throttle or brake it seems meaning that for some cars they cannot complete more than a handful of laps without ruining the tyres. With quite alot of trial and effort really good single player races can be had with the right car and track and the right AI settings.

I have purchased around half of the paid add on content and all of it is very high quality usually with it being one of the best examples of the car/track in sim racing. Many mods are available both in the steam workshop and on external websites, it is hit or miss. Some of it is superb, some is rehashed rubbish from ancient games that was never very good in the first place. Vehicles are provided with a single 'factory' setup they are usually awful and often undrivable. There is a very large selection of mod content available.

S397 / ISI have made many improvements since launch, but progress now is very slow with more effort going into high quality paid content it seems.

However despite all these flaws the experience can be amazing, try hotlapping the BMW M2 Competition around nordschleife for example, brilliant (both are paid content).

TLDR: definitely one of the best sims out there and i cannot recommend it enough
Rfactor2 is By far one of the best Simulators out there, DLC is a bit on the pricey side but wait for a sale and its perfectly affordable. tons of leagues and events to find and race with as well.
superb for endurance races and sprint races.
sure there are a few software bugs but none that make the game unplayable in my experience.
Tons of mods and aftermarket content!
old UI is pretty outdated but moving to the new UI is much better and super easy to install

+Physics are impressive
+VR is great
~Graphics aren't bad
-I didn't think the UI could get any worse, but here we are.
-Multiplayer is a nightmare to host and no ability to play a quick round with friends.

I won't play this again in its current state, but I will check back once there is an update.

Been playing iracing, ACC, AC, Automobilista 2 for a while now, and I have to say that the FFB and physics blow those titles away. After using this sim it's difficult to go back to those titles.
All it needs now is an easier way to participate in online races, and it will be the king of racing sims. Really hope Studio 397 can pull it off.

Can't really recommend this to anyone unless you're hardcore into sims.
UI is very clunky and unintuitive, despite getting an overhaul a few days ago. The game lacks time trial mode and leaderboards, which I was shocked by since everyone talked about this game as a go-to sim for time trialers.
Content is scattered all over the place. Default content is not very interesting (very basic cars and tracks). Most of the content
is on the steam workshop, but quality varies highly. The most popular cars (GT3, LMP ...) and laser scanned tracks (Sebring, Nurburgring, Le Mans ...) have to be purchased from game store, and it gets expensive very quickly.
Controller support is terrible. It is a pain in the ass to set it up in the first place, and even after that it doesn't work properly - doesn't work in menu, sometimes game doesn't register your controller inputs when you start racing, and such..
Game is poorly optimized and tracks load very slowly.
Once you get it going, physics and immersion are great, but imo it's not worth the tradeoff.

Pay just one track the price of ACC? Get lost. If you buy Asetta Corsa you get everything including laser scanned tracks plus tones of mods included. I am not playing this until they are doing some good bundle for tracks and cars. To mention this game is dead born. No one plays this multiplayer. But the owners are trying to be Iracing :D

Went from my favourite sim of all time to one I barely boot up any more, and when I do it's an exercise in frustration. Coming to Steam started out as a good thing with the Workshop support, then it started to go downhill. Some time after ISI abandoned it, a patch took what was basically the best AI in sim racing and turned them into drivers that will get every car sideways, just struggling to lap properly even on high settings. The new UI is a total disaster, in ultrawide it's stretched across the screen and it takes ages to set up a single player race since the UI will freeze to check if your favourite servers are up, even if you've not got any. It's still got incredible physics, the tyre simulation is ridiculous, but so, so many little bugs and issues that have been around for about 10 years now, even before the fairly disastrous DX11 implementation. There's a competition system now so maybe this will improve the online situation (which was very behind the times, although you still have to buy all the DLC used in a server to join it rather than just one car...), but for me rF was about the awesome offline racing and that's basically gone now, and the online market is pretty saturated by this point. With the existence of Assetto Corsa Competizione for GT racing, Assetto Corsa for the mods and better AI (I do miss those rF physics though), Automobilista for the older mods and force feedback, and AMS2 for having a trillion cars and amazing laser scans, there's little point in this any more. Such a shame.

Game physics is amazing, but the game itself is terrible. New UI crashes all the time. I have bought game and some dlc. I try to refund because it is unplayable, but unfortunately DLC refund was not accepted. I spen 40euros on DLC for game that is not working propperly and now i cant even refund it... I am so disapointed.

Complete waste of time! Steam says I've played the game for 55 hours, but in reality I've never even gotten the car out of the garage. Game doesn't recognize my G920 wheel and crashes when I try to assign controllers manually. The game crashes so hard upon closing that even Task Manager freezes and I have to sign out of Windows to get my computer back. All of my other games work fine right out of the box, so I don't know what these guys are thinking... I've wasted so much time reading forums and futzing around trying to get it to work - very upsetting, really.

The Physics are great and there is plenty of content, but unfortunately a lot of things break and i really cant recommend this game to anyone that wants to do some simracing. You will use most of the time troubleshooting problems when you buy this rather than drive.
