.: 2013Mode(s),rFactor 2 is a developed by the American independent software firm and released for in 2013. Like its predecessor, it is designed to be modified and is used by professional racing teams for driver training and race car development. Much of its source code is derived from rFactor Pro which is also used by professional racers and most of the teams and manufacturers.rFactor 2 is designed to simulate any type of multi-wheeled vehicle of any era including four-wheeled and six-wheeled vehicles with either two or four steered wheels. It features an advanced physics, suspension, and tire model.In September 2016, the developers announced a partnership with Dutch software company with the goal of bringing new features to the software. Contents.Background After the initial success of (1999), used its self-developed software engine isiMotor1 for a number of racing titles, including the highly praised Formula One simulators.
IsiMotor is an umbrella term that covers every component of the software engine, for example the graphics engine gMotor, the physics engine pMotor and so on. After the release of F1 Challenge '99-'02, was licensed to another company for the first time, who went on to produce popular retail sim racing titles based on Image Space Incorporated’s engine, including and.Image Space Incorporated then decided to make a racing simulator with an open architecture and provided tools for the modding community to create third party content. This title became rFactor which was the first ISI release using the software engine referred to as isiMotor2. RFactor went on to become the preferred racing simulation platform for nearly a decade, with a plethora of community created content. RFactor 2 is also being used to train the drivers who win the competition.isiMotor2 was further licensed to companies such as,. IsiMotor2 also laid the foundation for rFactor Pro, a software simulation engine used by real life racing teams and car manufacturers including most of the current Formula One grid and NASCAR manufacturers.

Image Space Incorporated took the experience from isiMotor2 and rFactor Pro and began the development of rFactor 2. From this point on, the software engine would be referred to as isiMotor2.5.The editor from the sim racing site VirtualR stated: 'It took me some time to see it but I do recognise rF2 as the best racing sim out there for the serious players'. Physics rFactor 2 and its precursor have received much praise for its highly advanced and accurate simulation of vehicle dynamics and is the preferred simulator for most real life professional racing teams, car engineers and simulation centers.Race Engineer Andrea Quintarelli stated: 'It is also no surprise for me that most of these professional simulators (or centers) are using rFactor. As I had the chance to prove myself (and probably to somebody reading here), when you know how to properly build your models, rFactor is producing very accurate results, at a very low cost'.Petros Mak, founder of the professional modding company Mak Corp, stated: 'All our race team clients and even our series clients, they don't only use rFactor for track familiarization. They also use it to test setup data before they go to an event, they use it to test potential new part data, by developing new brakes or new engine performances and testing it in the game before they actually commit to building it in real life. RF1 and rF2 provide far higher accuracy for those things than any other simulation on the market.
rFactor 2's physics engine is by far the most simulation based physics engine using real life aero and physical data that no other title has come close to'.The interaction and collaboration between Image Space Incorporated and professional racing teams and their engineers using the ISI developed rFactor Pro platform has benefited the new tire model used in rFactor 2. This has resulted in the ISI TGM Tyre Tool, a tool that is also available to third party modders.rFactor 2 is the first consumer simulation featuring a thermomechanical physically-based tire model, based on first principles, simulating the entire carcass, thread and contact patch, with proper heat transfer, accurate tire wear, and visual deformation.
