    Hello sim racers!

    With the new feature allowing you to race against content you don’t own live in our current Release Candidate build, we have put up a Release Candidate server for players to use during this development phase.

    The server is running our BTCC, GT3 and free Radical SR3 car, on the Nürburgring Endurance circuit. This server will be accessible only with the current rFactor 2 Release Candidate build and is called S397 RC Fun Race in the multiplayer server list.

    Edit 16.02: New content on server, now running Portland, All BTCC, All GT3, Porsche 911 Cup, RCCO Ex Zero, Formula E Gen 2, Radical SR3.

    As you may well already know, the new feature allows you to join and race against cars you do not own, provided you have the car you wish to drive available in your inventory, and the cars you are racing against are installed.

    To help us gather more test data and ensure this feature behaves as expected ahead of public release, Studio 397 would be grateful if community members who don’t own all the content hosted on the server could try and join to run a few laps. The idea is to ensure you successfully manage to both join the server, and have the ability to see which cars you don’t own from the car select screen (and you are not able to pick them to drive), and that you can also see those unowned cars on track.

    If you experience any issues when trying to join, or unexpected behaviour, please report this in either the #bug-reports section of the rFactor 2 Discord channel, or raise a report in the Bug Reports section of the Studio 397 forum.

    As a token of our gratitude for the support with these tests offered by our community, we will be selecting 3 players who entered the server and drove at least 3 laps and rewarding them with the full DLC content releases of rFactor 2.

    Thank you in advance for your help with these tests – see you on track!

    In summary:
    • Join S397 RC Fun Race test server using Release Candidate build.
    • Check if cars you don't own are visible in the select screen, but not selectable.
    • Run min 3 laps.
    • If other cars are running, check if cars you don't own can be seen on the track with you.
    • Be in with a chance to win the full rFactor 2 DLC content to date (including 2023 Q1).

    Make sure you go to the content manager and install all GT3 and BTCC cars. You'll also need the free Radical on the workshop.

    I turned the formation lap off. If the race begins, you need to wait until the next session to join the server.

    Maybe it is due to my internet connection but I think cars I don't own are just Yellow package

    Vedi che è facile. Devi andare dal conten manager e installare dalla lista che chiede il server tutte le auto che non possiedi. Ho appena fatto la gara

    Most of the content I have, but after installing missing content manually I still keep getting this message:
    Error trying to install MOD. Try manual installation.
    Please make sure etc. etc……. + a list of all content needed for this server.

    There's one in the list that you don't have installed.

    I joined with no problems, but then I do own all the content on there. Don't know if its of any help but I did download and install one of the few bits I don't yet own, which was the Formula Pro. I was able to run an offlinee race in a GT3 car against the Formula Pro's no problem!
