I’ve been using Live For Speed for about 5 years now and have never found another driving game/simulator that has ever gotten close when it comes to the actual driving experience.

I tried rFactor about 12 months ago and didn’t really think that much of it, although I did think about how long it took to get LFS working with the wheel setup, force feedback bla bla. So I gave it another go this week and initially I thought the same, but then I spent the time setting the G25 up right, and it wasn’t until I started downloading some more content that it came to life.

Then I downloaded Oran Park and then as soon as I hit this;

I was in!! The Oran Park dog leg, one of the greatest corners in the country and now that it is gone to the progress of residential housing gods I am very happy to know I can relive my old Sports Sedan days through rFactor.

I still put LFS at the top when it comes to the realism of driving, but rFactor is very very close but has the added benefit of relatable content.
