Those over at rFactor 2 release some update information and whats in store for the future. Lets see whats going on.
rfactor 2 is one of those sim racing titles where you love it, or totally dislike it. Whilst it has so much to offer in terms of car physics, handling models etc, it never seems to get the attention of other titles such as iRacing, Assetto Corsa and more. So what is going on, whats in store for the future, and is the game dying….slowly?
