All of which are better than Nurburgring GP, rF2 has Zandvoort for gently caress sake. Really I was more shocked that they'd use the crusty old Formula ISI car which hasn't been updated since around 2014 and sucked then as well.

Call me cynical, but it's a DLC track and they were hoping people will want rF2 and then buy the track, too

The FISI (yes, a holdover from ISI) isnt as broke as gently caress as half their other content, half of which is DLC too

Audi Formula E driver Daniel Abt has been disqualified from the latest FE Race at Home Challenge race, stripped of his points total and handed a €10,000 fine.

Abt, who originally finished third in the fifth round of Formula E’s sim racing series on Saturday, was found to have let a professional esports racer control his virtual car for the race.

This obviously isnt on the same level as Kyle Larson but is arguably worse than what Bubba Wallace did so Audi (German car companies are known for their sense of humor) probably fires this idiot, right?

Would like to mention that iRacing is now doing the prestigious Virtual Multiclass Racing In The French Countryside on June 20th.

The best part about this is that rFactor 2 has a horrendous record running 24 hours events. One big league even dumped them after an event last year, because it was 'red flagged' (poo poo itself) twice. The chances of this event going well are slim.

I appreciate this hopefully being the final nail in rF2's coffin.

The driving model/tyre model/physics are the best there is bar absolutely none. Online...less so.

Iracing has been torn apart by real world drivers endlessly over the last few weeks.

Everything else are simcade and pure games all the way down.

Tilke is given the unenviable task of being given the shittest race series on the planet and told to build tracks to make it good. When he doesnt have those restraints, he is capable of designing tracks like Atlanta Motorsports Park.
