rFactor is a computer racing simulation designed with the ability to run any type of four-wheeled vehicle from street cars to open wheel cars of any era. rFactor aims to be the most accurate race simulator ever, providing advanced tyre modeling, complex aerodynamics and a 15 degrees of freedom physics engine.

rFactor is developed by Image Space Incorporated (ISI), which has been developing race simulators since the early 1990s for both commercial and military purposes.

Features

Tyre model

rFactor provides an advanced tyre model, vastly superior than the classic pacejka tyre model previously used in most simulators. rFactor's tyre model simulates the tyre use cycle according to temperature and wear.

In the first review of rFactor, published on AutoSimSport, Jon Denton says:

What the tyre model in rFactor does very well is that it models the relationship between slip angle, self aligning torque and cornering force - and it does this better than anything that has come before.

Comments on rFactor

rF is a serious simulation that is both challenging and fun to play. ... Ultimately, I expect to see [in rFactor] every car, of every paint scheme, from every year driving on every circuit both current and historical, which has ever held an event where an internal combustion engine was used to decide the winner of a race.
