Are there corner markers and associated 100,200,300 ones on any tracks? The few vids i've watched they seem to be absent. Braking points don't look too obvious.

Looking like this will fill my Gtr2 fix (hoping for long co-driver races, but could be wishful thinking).

just played it, it took abit of time getting the controls set right but after that it's really good so far.

Yes

do they take payment straight away or is it like a preorder but get a code for early access?

How's this game compared to something like Forza? Does it have a good campaign and stuff? Is there a wide range of cars that can be used?
£30 seems a little expensive

The Campaign mode and Modding Mode are unavailable at the moment. So your into Practice, Hot Lap, Time Trials and Special Events.

Next update is coming on the 22nd Nov

The new update will bring new features as well as new content as three new cars and two new tracks will be included – More details on the upcoming content has have yet to be revealed.

If you have done some modding using .dds files, you can mess with a few things as well. There would be no way I'd pay £30 for this game currently......but I paid just short of £20, so all in all its great! (my key is World Wide Region Free

Did you buy your key from the same place as others mentioned earlier in the thread?

I got it from 'gamekeys4all' listed for £18.xx but its worked in $'s and PayPal exchange rate bumps it up a little.

thanks I'll try motion joy tonight.

still a whole £10 cheaper compared to Steam.

I'm still not able to get my ps2 pad to work with this though....
I've tried motioninjoy but no joy....

Well, I didn't like this much at first but it's growing on me, I love the sim handling, such a difference from the grid, need for speed arcade handling. I like the thought of getting features unlocked over time then the full blown thing, just makes it more exciting. Roll on the 22nd for more cars and tracks to test. Can't wait for the racing to start.

What plans do they have for multiplayer? Do they have any persistent stats and incident system a la iracing?

I'm pretty sure I'll pick this up because of the all the buzz surrounding the physics but I'm just curious to know if there will finally be another sim to rival iRacings online career (I'm probably not getting into private leagues).

Mathius · 17 Nov 2013 at 10:36

what is interesting is how the mods will work online.....

I've had this now and got around 9hours playtime in.......

Running the BMW E30, standard setup, TC and ABS on, I can get round the Monza circuit in 1:58.848.... which is pretty quick especially for a keyboard player....

This game isn't even finished and I find that I'm on this all night.

Has anyone played this with Nvidia 3D vision yet? I just tried and it's awesome. :eek:

3D vision ready game.

Anyone using Fanatec Hardware, update your drivers to Beta 174, the latest stable drivers are adding stuttering. It really is a noticeable difference. http://eu.fanatec.com/index.php?route=support/faq/details&id=35

I've running 144 drivers on a CSR and not noticed anything... I will give the beta a go later, I'm doing a hotlap challenge on NeoGAF (Tatuus Formula Abarth around Imola) at the moment, and maybe that'd help!

Great handling, I was a little skeptical but it was worth the money. As long as they deliver on promised content I think it's gonna be amazing.

Kosmiche · 17 Nov 2013 at 22:32

How hard is this game? I find iRacing too hard while I do fine in Race 07.

Thanks

tbh If I can play this game well, anybody can

It's a weird one, in iRacing you have enough grip to get the laptimes, but it always feels like the tyre really isn't actually digging in to the track. AC feels it does, so it feels easier to get up to speed, but the last few tenths are really hard to find.
