Hello chaps,
I sold my SIM set up a couple of years ago as I wasn't using it and my wife informed me it was taking up way too much space. I also found the SIM seat driving position was killing my wrists.
However after spending a year under lockdown and unable to do all the stuff I planned, (mainly building and riding old pre 65 trials bikes around muddy fields), I gave in to the temptation and bought a second hand G29 wheel and desk stand yesterday. This takes up way less space.
I would like to have a go at some of the practice sessions to see how my wrists cope before getting too carried away. I've got a much more bent elbows, upright driving position with this rig so am hopeful.
R Factor 2 seems completely different and I'm having problems finding the tracks and cars which includes my default Caterham at Brands Hatch.
I'll read through the joining instructions in case anything has changed and will need to buy a headset before going on teamtalk.
Hope to see some of you on track soon.
Bruce.

Hi Bruce. Welcome back. All voice comms is now on Discord. You can install the desktop application, but there's also a mobile version as well as a web browser. See sig-racing.boards.net/thread/925/sig-racing-discord-serverFeel free to jump into any session and race as much or as little as you want. Any questions, just ask. As you say, rF2 has changed a bit.

Awe, thanks Guys :-)
I seem to have lost all my old cars and circuits!
I just paid £4.50 for a Radical! How times have changed.
Are the circuits still free? If so how do I find them?
OK, found the circuits in Workshop just need to find my cars now :-)

Welcome back.
For the current season have a look at the info thread. There are links to all of the tracks, and most of them just need to be subscribed to in steam.

I'm starting to navigate my way around the new style RFactor 2 and even managed to download a Mk1 Lotus Cortina and a 1400ss Caterham . Both cars are a hoot to drive around Brands Hatch Indy. I can't get the Cortina around in less than 1.06 and the Caterham in 1.04 in the quick practice I had. Having owned both cars in the past it bought back good memories :-) Still looking for a free Caterham 150 Sigma to try. The Radical is a different beast altogether!

Yeah, I have hundreds of hours in rFactor in the last few months according to Steam, but almost all of them were sitting in the garage or with the AI driving while I'm testing some bit of software or other
