As much as I love rFactor 1, GTR2 has a little extra that makes it unique from rFactor, even though I think both use the same game engine. GTR2 is still very relevant even if very few support or play this game anymore. I know only one site that still offers SCGT resources, even though SCGT is pretty much dead. That is even as it was eventually surpassed and succeeded by rFactor. Sometimes, I play SCGT again for simplicity's sake. This is about the same as when Sports Car GT was the top-level sim racer. I never had any issues with downloads there and the forum was a really good community so that was my go to. And for a game of this age that HD mod looks quite good for what it is. What I really enjoy about GTR2 is that it represents the era of GT racing which got me into following sportscar racing so I have some very very fond memories for that time and being able to race the calendar with those cars reminds me of those golden times. I won't be able to use mods but with the likes of ACC coming to console it could be still a lot of fun. Maybe my best route to playing some of the newer games would be to get another Xbox as that'd be far cheaper then the equivalent gaming PC.

I'm hoping to upgrade but I'm between jobs atm as I've been ill so that doesn't help at all. I only have my laptop which can run stuff like GTR2 quite well especially with the 10th Anniversary HD mods. I'm kinda in the same boat as you unfortunately. Nice to know people still play GTR2 even in 2020. Even a game as old as GTR2 is still great to play even in this day and age. I unfortunately can't help you find any proper sites to find GTR2 material, but I mostly wanted to share my mind on the GTR2 mod scene as it is today. Not having a reliable, non-shady website for GTR2 mods only makes things not fun and not intriguing.

this is basically all I have unless I get a really capable PC for gaming for most of today's PC games.

I would still work with GTR2 and the first rFactor since I can still handle both games on my PC properly, as I can barely do Assetto Corsa and don't have the PC for games like Project CARS 2 or DiRT Rally 2.0 (for example). The other reason is because hardly anyone makes any quality mods for GTR2. So I stopped going to (that site) and mostly stopped my GTR2 development and mod downloading because of this. I will not share any names, but one site I usually went to for GTR2 mods keeps secretly taking me to shady websites upon downloading. One of the reasons why I haven't been reluctant to develop for or enhance my GTR2 mod collection is because GTR2 is relatively scarce for mods today due to some shady websites offering material.
