Yes, offline racing is the forgotten feature of Simracing and, yes, it will come back in a form or another.
The first title to really achieve something in this area will be a huge success, period.

Great idea! There are already lots of sim racers who enjoy tinkering with setups, sometimes for themselves, sometimes for others, and this would be a good extension of that. It would take some kind of framework and organisation a la iRacing to make it work.

Well, as it is a beta and the sim isn’t finished yet, this shouldn’t be a big surprise. I expect there will be a few more online when it is fully released.

Thanks for the review. It is refreshing to have a review with some color. I know that I have more than 400 laps in the 66 F3 on Spa alone, and I am now able to add the F2 with confidence onto the same demanding track. The 66 F1 car is still a handful, and I can hardly imagine what a 25 lap race in the F1 would be like… with the damage on and no aids, it will be a lot of fun. Thanks for a great review.

Very nice blog. I totally agree with you. It’s a shame that the number of online racers remains quite low. If you’re lucky there will be one host with 16 racers in it.

I have to admit to hating the first builds of rF2, but i was determind to stick with it and see how it grows.
Im not a well man, having a broken back can seriously affect the time one can spend sim racing, but when i’m having a day when pain isnt so bad i sit and play around with this, project C.A.R.S. and GSC.

These are the 3 new big boys in sim world for me and i must have done thousands of miles in GSC and pCARS, but rF2 wasnt giving me what i needed from a sim.
Then came the last 3 builds.
I can finally push the cars the way i like to. I feel like im getting the information back through my wheel where i can understand what is happening on track.
I always have the AI set at around 105-110% to make sure the challenge is there, and that it wont be as big a shock for when i venture online.
Now, rather than being frustraited with the speed of the AI, i’m hammering it by a good few seconds.
All in all, the sim is now stretching its legs, startingto find its feet, and i think, most importantly, a place in my heart.

Nice article that mirrows my sentiments exactly.
Well done.
