The Laser Scanning part of this is very interesting. The game... not so much

Does this game play online too?

I can see it ending up somewhere between GT & Shift2 on the gameplay side of things. If their AI cuts it, it should end up pretty popular for offline racing.

Not yet no, although it will do eventually. At the moment all you can do is hotlaps around the available tracks afaik.

It's basically an open beta at the moment, with new content being added on a regular basis.

Really like mugello,zonda r is nice with aids off,great stuff,see they allow 8x aa in options now aswell

spankingtexan · 22 Nov 2013 at 19:21

This is really looking good now, mugello and p4/5 is awesome. Also noticed more track detail, runs silky smooth and pin sharp visuals, handling is faultless. Stunning, I'm loving this now. I've been playing racers for more time than I care to remember and this is the best one yet imo.

Hit 198 mph at Monza in the Zonda its a rocket hehe best so far 1.20.3 im sure ill get into the 19s with more laps and setup tweaks and have to say ive not touched iracing since I got AC on its release.

Just had a go at this combo to which i did manage a 1:19.9 and hit 203mph before the last corner, it's a fun combo with minimum downforce and full tyre pressure making the rear end very lose going into turn 1.

Lap is nothing special.

Man that Zonda sounds superb.

I just bought this today. Took the Lotus for a spin around the '66 Monza, only 3.5 secs slower than my GPL time currently. No setup changes or anything. But I was a full 5 seconds slower than that using a manual shifter. Couldn't change gear anywhere near as fast, especially on downshifts and then the thing would jump out of gear half way down a straight. I guess better heal-and-toe will help the downshifts but is it jumping out of gear because I was messing up the gear changes and damaging the box? All on Pro mode of course

Really liking the P4/5 - had to adjust seating and FOV, but no drama's there. Seem to get on better with the other racers too (BMW M3 GT2 and Tatuus Abarth) compared to the road cars. Just mess up the braking with them. The Lotus 2-11 is a hoot.

Here's hoping the Lotus T125, Lotus 98T, or Ferrari 312T come soon.

My best is 29.1 in AC and 26.7 in GPL so much slower in AC compared to my GPL times.

I knocked the wing off and got down to 19.2 but curve grand is a touch tricky now hehe.

Just done 19.2 in the Zonda at Monza and saved the replay but when I try to load it the game freezes solid on the replay page and I have to ctnr alt delete and restart the pc.

johny dolan · 23 Nov 2013 at 01:27

Also im getting game freezes for a fraction of a second every so often and sometimes causes me to crash.

Zonda at Monza all sliders set to max I get 142 fps sat in the pits and on track lowest fps 110 and highest 146 with it mostly in the 130 to 140 range.

I get these as well. And had them in the tech preview too.

I think it's maybe sound related in my case ( using onboard ) as it always seems to occur when I'm downshifting while breaking into a corner.

Uncle_Gravy · 23 Nov 2013 at 09:18

So this is worth picking up then?

phatboy · 23 Nov 2013 at 09:24

In my opinion.....TOTALLY
