.: August 31, 2005Mode(s),rFactor is a designed with the ability to run any type of four-wheeled vehicle from street cars to cars of any era. RFactor aimed to be the most accurate race simulator of its time.

The isiMotor2 on which the game is based is a direct successor to the engine used in previous titles developed by ISI, most notably, released through. The isiMotor2 engine was also used in many other simulation games.

The player's car can be driven from multiple viewpoints, but the two most popular are termed the cockpit view (from the driver's eye) and swingman view (above and behind the vehicle).Most players say vehicles are best controlled using a computer, although a or even keyboard can be used.
The is also used for some actions, like requesting pit service and adjusting brake bias. This is analogous to buttons on modern racing car steering wheels and most computer wheels have buttons that can be mapped to keystrokes. The player can jump directly from the racetrack to the control interface by pressing the escape key (ESC), or entering their pit box.Content rFactor has two classes of vehicles, Open Wheel Challenge and cars. Open Wheel Challenge vehicles are, including 100 training vehicles, -like cars and -like cars (called Formula IS).
The sedan cars range from compact yet sporty to -like vehicles and American. They also include (-like).On May 10, 2006, ISI announced a deal with to add the car to the game. The vehicle was demonstrated at the. The deal was to be specifically to promote the upcoming processor. The BMW Sauber was added in 2006. The respective cars of 2007 and 2008 were released as official add-on.Developer ISI did not seek to license any racetrack at all, so included only fictitious circuits.
RFactor was released with just five facilities, comprising approximately 10 layouts, including some which were simply reverse races. The facilities were Orchard Lake (an oval and road course), Mills Metropark and Toban Raceway (road courses), Joesville Runabout (a short oval) and Sardian Heights (a street race in a city environment). In later updates, an extra layout for Sardian Heights have been added, Essington Park, Lienz (a mountain road and rally course) and Jacksonville (a high banked super speedway) were added. Several real world tracks, but with fictitious names, were added to the game as part of an update released in 2006, such as Barcelona , Brianza , Northamptonshire and Nuerburg.Modding In addition to the stock vehicles and circuits available in rFactor, a steady stream of unofficial mods has become available. A large number of modifications were released, including ones that recreated seasons from,. Cars from the racing games, and were also converted into rFactor with the mod Shift Street.
With the release of the, many new venues were created and released as unofficial addons to the game. Many of the circuits for rFactor were converted from other games, including, and.Development.

As such, rFactor's initial release only included four fictitious circuits (seven as of v1.087), with about a dozen layouts within these facilities and there were about six vehicle classes, including two open wheel and four sedan classes. Among its most notable features was a rich interface for creating custom game contents, which made it possible for amateurs to create additional vehicles and tracks for the game.
On August 1, 2006, ISI released the full update, with many changes and new features, including the new 2006 BMW Sauber F1 and a much requested manual. Another notable and often requested feature was driver-swapping, which allowed to change drivers during the race, enabling up to 24 hour events like Le Mans.A feature was added to allow the AI to 'learn a track', which teaches the AI the ideal way to drive a particular circuit. As of v1.150, the AI was improved, leading to notably faster driving styles. RFactor also advertises an advanced tire model, aiming to be much better than the model previously used in most simulators. RFactor's tire model simulates a non-linear tire use cycle according to temperature and wear.F1 Challenge proved to be popular for online racing over the Internet through, which allowed any player to find available games. RFactor has extended this in several ways. The central server is handled by ISI themselves, so finding other games is effectively the same.
However, the central server will show all races and practice sessions over a web interface known as Racecast. There are also career statistics available for registered drivers. The game server can be run from a dedicated program, free from the need to render graphics. It can run mixtures of human and computer controlled (AI) vehicles.In an evolution from F1 Challenge, the circuits now include all layouts at a particular facility, which greatly reduces the need to duplicate track geometry. The game can easily accommodate different sorts of vehicles and games between multiple classes of vehicles are possible.
