Hi there seems to be MANY questions about the NEW RF2 Multiplayer feature. How it works you can join a server that has DLC content you do NOT OWN but there are a few CATCHS. First this ONLY works for DLC content regular workshop content you MUST install as regular. Second In order to join a server with DLC content you do NOT OWN you must first DOWNLOAD that content to your PC. The choices are either through the games UI page or through steam ( Steam method NOT shown here. ) Using the game UI: 1: Go to Content & Settings TAB 2: Go to MANAGE CONTENT section 3: Select STORE CONTENT tab. In order to find content you do NOT own or have INSTALLED scroll to the BOTTOM of this list anything with a RED X you must select. On the...

This is a huge one for league owners, like myself, that likes to run paid DLC in their events! While it won't do much for tracks, this new update looks to allow leagues to run large multiclass series with however many classes and car models they want regardless of what their members own, as now the members only need what they already own or have to purchase one car (of 10+ in XSCC's case) rather than the whole field to be able to participate. This is amazing new for us here at XSR and I am sure for many more league owners and drivers alike!

Studio 397 has announced a great track coming to Rfactor 2 next week! We were already running Long Beach next weekend as a part of our XSCC series using the fantastic version from the workshop by LuisB, however now our admins are in talks with the XSCC drivers on whether to change the schedule to accommodate enough time for release and acquisition of the official Long Beach track or stick with the current plan. We think this is a fantastic add to the game and we can't wait to put rubber to pavement!

After a season off, the Xplore Sports Car Championship is set to return for a second season. Previously hosting two classes of competition between the Cadillac DPi.VR and the GTE cars, this time the series organizers have added the new Porsche 992 GT3 Cup to the mix along with the Acura ARX-05 DPi found in the Rfactor2 workshop. When asked why now for the second season and about the addition of the Acura and Porsche Cup car, they had this to say: “Last season all members of our administration had a lot of life changes, leaving us little room for series so we had to pick and choose. This year things have note only settled down for all us, but we added a new member and are still searching for another member or two to join our league...
