I must admit it does look very good!I just did a double take on that last screenshot. It's... Nearly real
can I just add that those screenies persuaded me to shell out the princely sum of $7 to download Links 2003 off their webby. You do have to download the unofficial 1.7 patch to get widescreen res (and do a little registry tweaking) but there are loads of links to exceptionally well done hi-res courses such as the Black one above. Some of the courses are over 200MB!!
surprised there haven't been any already tbh
whilst we're waiting thought I'd post up some alternatives for those who say that the consoles have all the best looking racers.
rFactor with HDR mod, custom made Monza track and PCC car mod.....
size wise you're fine, a few might query how you've got it 2 days early though
Some of my family live in the US, paid them a lot to send a copy over on overnight . Arrived an hour ago!
I hope it was worth the cash tbh.
