All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hey rFactor 2 community,

Firstly, we want to address the elephant in the room: yes, we’re aware that the anticipation for new DLC content is high, and we thank you for your patience. While we’ve been channelling our energy into some vital projects, including Le Mans Ultimate, we haven’t forgotten the essence of rFactor 2 that all of you love. We’re returning to our roots by refining our legacy content. These updates, though minor, are part of our commitment to ensuring the game continues to offer a solid and enjoyable experience.
