Well, my last thread (a year ago) on this was a horrendous failure due to unpopularity. But, quite a lot of people who I have talked to since then have bought this game and enjoyed it thoroughly

What is rFactor?
rFactor is a computer racing simulator 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. Their most recent title to use the complete engine was F1 Challenge '99-'02, released through EA Sports, although the rendering engine itself has been used for SimBin's GT Racing Series, comprising GTR - FIA GT Racing Game and GT Legends.
The idea is, once bought, you download mods (www.rfactorcentral.com) such as Formula One, NASCAR, VLN (lots of fast cars basically...think Aston Martins...Ferraris...Porsches) - all professionally done. Also, hundreds of tracks and so on too (everything from professionally made Nurburgring, Le Mans, Barcelona...everything!) I really recommend download the demo (rfactor.net). All retail Logitech G25 steering wheels come with the rFactor free demo, also! Here's just a few personal screenshots:

rFactor looks cool, but I'd say consoles are much better suited to racing games. Even if I got a steering wheel for PC gaming, it just wouldn't feel "right"

Lawnmower racing, however, is the single greatest mod I've ever seen.

Maybe for the likes of arcade racing like Need For Speed but not something like rFactor..

I am LFS all the way.  I played Rfactor a few days and just did not get into the Phys. It is a huge plus over LFS though how you can have variety of real cars and tracks.  Does CTRA have leagues in rfactor also? And Mek-izzle PC offer way better racing games.  Consoles just started their run for online multi and that will most likely = disaster.  pick up races usually have someone using you as their breaks for a turn. besides that console has never really went all the way with a sim.  I have always loved GT but it is a far cry from a sim.  Even prologue leaves much to be desired.

rFactor is win. My G25 is getting rusty, so I'm gonna have to start playing again. I never got any good, and was damn happy if I stayed on the rode with all the assists off... 'bout time I get good at this game!
