If you wish to change your in-game name in rFactor 2, try this:
1. Click on the Windows' Start button.
2. In "Run" or "Search program and files" type "%appdata%" (without the quote symbols).
3. A "Roaming" folder should show up in the results, enter it.
4. Find the folder called ".rFactor" and enter it.
5. Right-click on "rFactor.name" file, select properties (if you don't see the .name extension,
check this out).
6. Un-check the box labeled "Read-only" and press OK.
7. Right-click on "rFactor.name" file and open it with a text editor like Notepad.
8. Change your name (first line is your firstname, second line is your lastname, and third line is your nickname).
9. Save the file.
10. Right-click on "rFactor.name" file, select properties.
11. Check the box labeled "Read-only" and press OK. It is important that you don't miss this step, otherwise rFactor 2 will overwrite the file again once you open the game and you will go back to your original name.
That's it!
