Game servers by the hour. Pay only when you play.

rFactor 2 server commands: admin, sessions and AI

rFactor 2 has no web console. You run the server from the in-game chat with the commands below, from the official rFactor 2 documentation.

Admin and session commands

  • /admin PASSWORD: Become admin with the admin password from your server card. As admin, every callvote below happens at once instead of starting a vote.
  • /callvote nextsession: Skip to the next session: practice to qualifying, qualifying to the race.
  • /callvote str: Skip straight to the race.
  • /callvote restartrace: Restart the current race.
  • /callvote restartweekend: Go back to the first practice session.
  • /callvote addai: Add one AI car.
  • /callvote add5ai: Add five AI cars.
  • /callvote kick NAME: Remove a driver from the server.
  • /throwyellow LAPS: Start a full-course caution for the given number of laps.
  • /racelength: Change the race length for the next race.

Changing track or car

There is no command for it. A server races one track and one car class, packaged when it starts. To race somewhere else or in another car, deploy a new server with that pick.

Votes without admin

Anyone can start a callvote. Players answer with /vote yes or /vote no, and the vote passes once enough of the server agrees.

One command to avoid

/shutdownserver stops the race server and disconnects everyone. Do not use it to end a session: let the timer run out or stop the server from 2hours.gg.

Joining

Search the server name in Multiplayer, or set the Steam launch option +connect IP:64297 (add +password PASSWORD with a password). The first join downloads the server content package. If the server runs a Steam Workshop car or track, subscribe to it on Steam before joining, or rFactor 2 cannot load the session.
