rFactor 2 Online – Known Issues

If you register for two races, both event pages will receive the first event’s server details when that race begins
Some circuits, such as Nürburgring may have the server start a few minutes later than expected – you may need to wait up to 4 minutes after a server is due to be started
Practice servers are becoming too full too quickly and may give a timeout error (we are currently working on this) – Races are unaffected so please still register
Practice servers not running through the night (reminder – we pause the service at 3am CEST)
Bottom split has the minimum drivers to make the race official (currently 5 rather than equal size splits)
Some nationality flags are not showing correctly
The schedule page does have incorrect times for some users
Some users are unable to submit reports
Navigation bar is sometimes not showing updated ranking after a race
Could not get your split error – for now, please try going back to the previous menu and enter the event page again or restart
Leaderboard has a bug where does not consider the specific track layout
Not all mod files being deleted on boot
The join server button occasionally does not activate – please try leaving and rejoin the event page to get the join server button

Unreal Engine

The first thing fans will notice from the reveal trailer is the graphics: They are far flatter and more realistic than those of Dirt Rally 2.0. Whilst less pretty, this will surely not be a bad thing as immersion will certainly come with the improved engine.

– Releasing October 31 in Early Access (Digital pre-order required), November 3, 2023 otherwise.
– Releasing on PS5, XB Series X|S, PC via Steam, EA, Epic.
– Five DLC packs (they call them VIP passes, I guess).
– “Builder” and subsequent explanation suggests you can design your own rally car.
– “Moments” suggests you can participate in specific events EA create.
– “longer, more detailed stages than previously possible”
– “18 official FIA World Rally Championship locations”

Motorsport Games Might Not See the End of 2023, Tries Selling NASCAR License

The reports are in, and they do not look optimistic: Motorsport Games has made its Q2 2023 Earnings Report public, which presents a bleak outlook on the company's future. MSG might not even see the end of the year - what does that mean for the licenses of racing series it holds?

CEO Stephen Hood highlighted positive events of Q2 2023, such as the announcement of Le Mans Ultimate and key updates to rFactor 2. Suprisingly, the Next Gen Car Update DLC for NASCAR Heat 5 was also mentioned as a highlight due to it being "on track to become our most downloaded content update" - which is surprising, considering that Heat 5 is the predecessor to NASCAR 21: Ignition.

Having gotten the developer core of the GTR series back together, Straigth4 Studios is working on a new sim that should follow in the - certainly enormous - footsteps of both previous titles in the series. Now, the very first in-engine screenshot is available, courtesy of Studio Head Ian Bell, in addition to a logo for the project.

GTR Revival is the exciting new project from Ian Bell’s nascent Straight4 Studios, featuring input from GTR 2 development alumni. We share everything we know about the game so far.

GTR Revival will use Unreal Engine 5, as indicated by a tweet from Straight4 Studios boss Ian Bell. In the tweet, Bell used images from a freely available Unreal Engine tech demo of an Audi road car to highlight the potential of the new game’s graphics.

GTR Revival is set to feature a variety of race and rally cars, with the possibility of road cars too.

GTR Revival is set to use AI chatbots to provide AI-generated commentary and engineer chatter. Preview videos show the systems working seamlessly, and it’s definitely something different within sim racing. We’re excited to see how this plays out in the final game and how those who provide the base vices are renumerated.
