rFactor 2 General Rules & Info

WELCOME TO THE FORMULA ONE 1967 INFO PAGE

For this series, we are using the rFactor Formula One 1967 mod from Chiefwiggum, available on Steam.

From the developer, Chiefwiggum:
My F1 1967 mod is deliberately designed to replicate a Grand Prix Legends (GPL)-like driving experience.
Near the limit, the cars have very narrow operating windows and low tolerance for driver errors.
Excessive steering, throttle, or braking inputs quickly destabilise the car.

When driven smoothly and with controlled inputs, the cars remain manageable and consistent.
The transition between stable grip and loss of control is intentionally sharp and clearly defined.

The goal was for a bad car to also feel bad to drive – not just slower.
Driving errors have immediate dynamic consequences.

****************
In this series, we will use the original points-scoring system of Formula 1 in 1967.
1st place = 9 points
2d place = 6 points
3d place = 4 points
4th place = 3 points
5th place = 2 points
6th place = 1 point

****************
I have done my best to include some original racetracks from the 1960s era, and that worked out quite well.
Some tracks have never been in rFactor 2 and will make their debut in rFactor 2 on Sim Racing Online. Those are: Mount Panorama 67, Clermont Ferrand 65 and Watkins Glen 65.
To come later is Fuji 1968 instead of Brands Hatch, but that track isn't quite finished yet.

****************
Momentarily March 23, 2026, these cars are available in the Formula One 1967 mod:
Lotus 49
Ferrari 312
Cooper T81
Brabham BT24
Honda RA300
BRM P83/P115
There are 6 rounds. To avoid too many of 1 car model on track (25x Lotus 49 ) and for the purpose of car variation, we will rotate cars each round.
That means that you will take a different car for each race. See the cars options above.
If more cars are released in this 1967 mod, like the Eagle, I will update the pack and you are free to choose the new cars as well.

All cars in this pack have their own physics, sound and personalities, and with the rotation system, all strengths and weaknesses are levelled out.

****************************************************************
No Esc. on track rule in Qualification
In qualification, you can not press Escape (Esc.) while on track (if you crash) and then go back out again.
If you want to do another run, you have to come into the pits first.

This is to protect the other drivers from someone taking abnormal risks to set a good lap time and crashing (other cars).

****************************************************************
How does each race start?
Every event will have a standing start.

****************************************************************
Custom skins
You can use custom skins for all cars in this series.

****************************************************************
Teamspeak
Teamspeak is one of the features of Sim Racing Online.
If you would like to hook up with other drivers on Teamspeak before the race (or any time), here is the forum link for the SRO Teamspeak address and password:

For those who are not familiar with Teamspeak, you need to add the Sim Racing Online channel to your "bookmarks".

Thanks in advance !!

 

Well Neil ... We would all LOVE to see you do it as you make them extra special!

 

Good news!

All events of this series will be broadcast
Broadcaster: Neil Wood

 

Other admins are also using servers, so due to availability, the server for the F1 1967 series will be up 2 weeks before the first event.

 

FORMULA ONE 1967 MOD UPDATE V0.68
Server is updated.

+ Improved overall car balance and high-speed stability
+ Reduced extreme snap oversteer in fast corners
+ Updated tire physics for more consistent grip and smoother transitions
+ Refined handling across all cars while preserving their unique character
+ Added new cars:
Eagle Weslake - Dan Gurney, Richie Ginther
Brabham BT11 - Bob Anderson

 

You can use custom skins, but please try to maintain the historic look of the mod.

 

OFF TOPIC

Is there an interest in doing a series with LONG tracks in Assetto Corsa with an historic GT mod?
The practice would be done in the Qual mode for 2 hours. The qualy would start at 18:00 GMT summertime. But you can also only do the last hour at 19:00 GMT. Plenty of time. Preferably on a Saturday. Bi-weekly, so you have time to practice.
I'm thinking these tracks:
- Machwerk 1967
- Nordschleife 1967 combined with Sudstrecke.
- Fonteny
- The Evo Triangle
- Bruschied
- Schottenring

 

Cool, that's 1. Actually, 2 if you also count me

 

Three already!

So, I'm planning to use the AC WSC Legends 60s Pack by Team WSC Legends v1.3 for the long track series.
We will use all the cars with around 220 BHP.
