****Official rFactor 2 Thread****

rF2 is better than rF1. Don't complain about the lack of mods, rF2 is still a beta!
http://ravsim.com/2012/09/05/rfactor-2-fia-formula-2-drivers-preview/
Since opening the doors to their open beta back in January, ISI have been relatively quiet on the development of rFactor 2. The sim, pushed to a beta at quite an early point in development, has come in for mixed reception, with division in the community as to whether it is the next “sliced bread” or not. Meanwhile, development has plodded on, and with each new build released to the baying public there are improvements in almost every area. Sure, sometimes those improvements are subtle, sometimes you have to really dig, but for the attentive, it is clear to see that rFactor 2 (rF2) is developing into a vehicle simulation of quite some scope.
One area that until recently has remained limited for rF2 is in licences for real world tracks, cars or series. Naturally, some feared that this may persist, and then the Brabham BT20 was announced, and a little sigh of relief was heard. Still, much of the content in rF2 is a familiar picture named with an alias, and you get the feeling that ISI may not have as many dollar bills to throw at licencing as some other sim developers can muster.
This made it very welcome news to hear of the agreement signed by ISI to licence the FIA Formula Two series within rF2. Formula Two (F2), in its current guise, features a field of young, up and coming stars, trying to make their mark on the motorsport world in high powered single-seater racing cars developed to specification by Williams F1.

This is the officially licensed Formula Two car, as seen in this championship: http://formula2.com/
It has become my favorite rFactor2 car, and considering how much I love the historic cars, is really saying something. I hope you enjoy how thoroughly drive-able it is, and although it does have a lot of downforce, how much it moves and gives you that 'seat of the pants' feel the historics tend to.

Notes:
- This mod is standalone. It doesn't require other rfmod packages to be installed.
- This mod comes with a new version of Palm Beach.
- There are 20 AI drivers from F2. Run with 19-20 AI for a full field.
- Markus Pommer (F2 driver) is not simulated in the F2 series itself due to his sponsor. We will replace the sponsor, and add him, in a later update.
- AI are using statistics and results from the first 12 rounds. Any drivers who participate or get better/worse after round 12, will be added/edited in a later tweak.
- Players may want to run an unaccelerated/unskipped qualifying session (30mins, unlimited/30 laps) at the moment. By allowing the AI to set times, the race will run more realistic (less slow drivers causing bunching) as the grid will be more ordered.
- Overboost is disabled until proper rules are implemented.
- In-car adjustable front wing not yet implemented.
- Some users may experience white LED shift lights.
- Some users who use filtering in their FFB, may want to use more for this car. Or see this. Later tire tweaks may take away the need to do this.
- We believe wet tyres are too slippery in heavy wet conditions and are waiting on more data.

It does not feel as good as RF1 because the lack off community and mods, but you got to remember it still is a beta.
Physics wise and driving, it feels a lot better than rF1, depending on what car. They are a few mods out there that feel incredible! I think it will be good
Took the flag rules off and gave this layout a go. Very good
pitty it is not in the game 
Sorry for the lag, i had to convert it :\ youtube did not like the format. I used msi afterburner. Next videos I will use good old fraps.

Thanks, the crg in my opinion is the best chassis i have ever been on. I have not had it out on proper tyres or in the full dry yet but from what i have experienced it feels very solid. The chassis feels like new and it looks like new. Turning into corners it feels very responsive, it does what you want even with worn out sl6s (not using my new mojos in the wet/cold testing days). The brakes are just unbelievable. You brake as soon as the corner starts then you turn in, no braking to slow down before you turn into the corner. I cannot compare it to other chassis. I have never been on anything new. My previous chassis was saxon predator for my biland sa250. It was bad. It was very floppy in the corners. My chassis before that was a 2005 tony kart what won the scottish championship in 2006 from the guy i bought it from. That is a good chassis but to soft for my liking. Going into corners you are always lifting a wheel no matter what setup you do. The CRG has that extra stiffness in the rear to stop that from happening. It's all about personal preference to me and driving style. The CRG suits my style, little wheel movement and sharp brakes.
I take it you have been to crail before? do you go regularly?
Nice, would love to try out rowrah but i only do non msa races. Not really any point me getting my licence as i only do like 1 race a year now. Last year i did 1 race at crail in my biland, then it blew up big style. So we bought the CRG kart with engine for £500 less than a total rebuild for the biland
well worth the money.
