Don't waste your money if you don't have a wheel mate. In all my years i have only been beaten by one guy who uses a controller & he is just a Freak :p
It's true to say though that this is a Complete Sim racer. You need to get used to the cars then set them up then get used to tyre wear track temps etc & then on top of all that you have to get them round the track whilst 20 - 30 other dudes try to do the same.
Very very satisfying though if you podium a race against Quality opposition.

What Lac says there is the truth, sadly my racing wheel has died (very cheap logitech one) and so has my joy stick too so I can't even play it on that till my new stick arrives.

Hoping that in the coming months I'll be able to afford a G25, whats support for that like in r-Factor ??
 
The best mods for rFactor in my opinion are:

The Caterhams
BMW 320 E21
Porsche GT3's both 996 and 997
F1 1979

All have their good and bad points, and none of them are like being behind the wheel, but within the constraints of the medium they are all great fun and pretty close at replicating the balance of the real things, though I have never driven an F1 or a 320 E21 ;)
 
Ok guys I couldn't really comment before but after yesterday i can now confirm that the BMW E21's are a Must have mod. Straight up there alongside my favourites the E21's are about the most fun you can have in an office chair holding a plastic steering wheel. Gorgeous to drive & those that can drive irl will have a blast in these. Older gits like me who are used to RWD will have even more fun.
Some mods just suit you & this one suits me down to the ground, Perfect mod & like i said a Must have.

Also another Must have mod the PCC 07. I took these out for a test yesterday & had some Amazing races. Pretty good feel at default but i did pack the front end to 1.0 & drop a bit off the rear wing, Other than that Just get the front end to turn in & the rest comes naturally.

The best thing about the recent releases is the improvement in handling & feel has meant for much better, closer & cleaner races as the cars handle much more predictably therefore the online racers can keep them online lap after lap.
Yesterday i spent 10 laps at Lienz Long bumper to bumper with 3 other guys fighting over 1st to 4th with a field of 20 odd racers chasing us down. At the end of Lienz Long after 10 laps only 1 racer out of over 23 DNF & that is at Lienz for **** sake.
The great handling these new mods are bringing just breeds confidence & with confidence the racing gets closer & closer but also gets cleaner.
What this means to Sim racers around the world like me just cannot be expressed in words.
Just download it for yourselves & Feel it :cool:
 
How is this game guys? I mate rattles on about it a lot and has a lot of the mods. Is it realistic handling etc?
 
In my opinion it's the Best Sim racer available on the PC.
With the mods listed in this thread it takes it to another level.
 
How much longer do you reckon is left in this games lifetime? Ie, is there a sequel on the cards or another big racing sim coming out soon? Just want to be certain the community won't die on me as soon as i fork out my £18 (bargain) for a disk.
