Just watched about 50mins of it. Probably thanks to the commentary, after a couple of minutes I forgot it was "not real". Although is clearly being taken very seriously! Cheers, Dave.

Great to see some of the biggest names in motor racing competing in this alongside the creme of simracing.....Erm, I must have been out when they called :angel:

WCTR is Race Race Experience, I believe. It seems like the rFactor 2 server isn't 100% stable.

Luckily, hardly anyone noticed :) With the motorsport drought at the moment, I ended up watching about 3 hours or so in total. Previously, I'd have thought that would been quite ridiculous - but watching from the sofa, with proper commentary really made it. Even my wife was a little disappointed when she popped in for the final lap, but had just missed it! I definitely would consider watching similar in the future. |
