Rfactor 2 is a whole lot harder than Gran Turismo 6. The learning curve is steep. Quake 3/Live was that way. The feeling of accomplishment keeps me going. When I make a mistake in Rfactor 2, I understand what it is. The physics engine feels intuitive.

3rd party content is scattered across a dozen fan sites. Fan-made tracks are decent to good quality. Some are rough around the edges. All are harder to find than they should be. I've managed to download all of the real world circuits found in Forza 6. I have several friends who run a weekly Forza racing league. We'll see if practicing in Rfactor 2 translates to better skill in Forza, or Gran Turismo for that matter. I picked Rfactor 2 because it's cheaper than buying an Xbox One, game and compatible wheel. $650 total, minimum.

In terms of fun factor, Gran Turismo/Forza wins. In terms of feelings of accomplishment, Rfactor 2 is better. I think it's easier for me to learn tracks in Gran Turismo; however, learning racing lines is easier to do in Rfactor 2...because it's a requirement to avoid spinning.

I recommend this game if you want to learn to handle a car better and are patient.
