Now let’s talk about online. Since the release of rFactor 2 the pricing consisted of a one time payment and an online subscription, with the option of buying a lifetime version of that subscription. Over the years we have received a lot of questions about charging extra for online access, and what people were getting for this in return.
We understand that online racing is key to the future of the platform. As online racers ourselves, we have decided to provide online access for everybody with the Steam version for free – simplifying the pricing model and encouraging everybody to race online. Steam will take care of automated updates. We recognise that some of you have made this purchase over the past few months, and it was a difficult decision. However, we’re positive that you’ll agree we’ve made the right decision for the future of the platform.
With the Steam Winter Sale approaching what better way for you to relax and driver rFactor 2. Look out for an exclusive offer for the holiday period!
This will certainly help those that don't yet have rF2

Yes you can but can't remember how to do it.
Have a look on the rFactor2 forum....

A new update today, and the lifetime subscription option is now gone from Steam. The game is 41.99NZD, and is going to go on sale in the Steam sale, which is rumored for the 23rd. Historically they've had 40% off, which would make rF2 very cheap.

This has got my G25 wheel back out and dusted off .... grabbed a Steam Key and managed to get it all working ... put a smile on my face again just driving the old Brabham around Monza.

With the steam sale I'll be buying a key for our server.
Will make it easier to manage, and you'll be able to friend it etc for easy joining
