For me, RF1 is easier to use and the settings seem more stable. RF2 has MANY more settings and sometimes my wheel/pedals go out of calibration for seemingly no reason. RF2 is visually nicer, and some say more realistic, but I generally run RF1 because I can get all the tracks I'm interested in. There is supposedly a way to convert RF1 tracks to RF2 but I haven't tried it yet. I think RF1 is like $20 in the Steam store.
Have fun!
