So codeplasters have majorly hyped this new game that has had nearly as much anticipation as any new mac product. My question is I know it's a good GAME, but as far as the PC version goes with a logitech G25 and all driving aids off etc (simulation), is it any good? Was thinking about getting it for PC this weekend, but codemasters have disappointed me time and time again with the whole race driver / colin mcrea arcade crap. Should I just stick with rFactor?

I just got it, with a steering wheel it is good. If you've played grid itll feel similar apart from the speeds lol, otherwise a good game

if it feels like grid, then i'll save my 80 bucks.
I have been thinking about starting a business (gaming warehouse) for nothing but pure racing simulation in cockpits... wonder if its viable. |

I would recommend hiring and seeing what you think. I don't mind it but does have similarities to grid.

It has similarities to GRID and DiRT2 because it uses the same game engine (EGO) as the other two games.
I'm addicted to it, been playing it on my PC using an XBox controller and the PC HDMI connected to my 46" TV. Absolutely brilliant. All I can say is that being a game marketed the way it is, I highly doubt it would come close to the realism of rFactor. rFactor is aimed at serious simulation enthusiats, whereas this game is more for the gamer who wants a challenge but doesn't want to be off the track every time they hit the first corner. I quite enjoy the game, I play manual with most assists off, I think I leave ABS on but that's about it. Car setup isn't too bad, but there could probably be more in the way of setup. If you don't to pay $80 for it, head to www.steampowered.com and get Steam, its available on there for US$59.95 which doesn't convert too bad these days. Or maybe even look into getting a demo version of it to give a whirl.

It is a pretty fun game anyway, but its far from a simulation. They made it easy so anybody can pick up a controller or wheel and drive an F1

yep thats what I was afraid of. I'm hanging out for rFactor 2 so so bad, but they still won't adopt Dx11 so it's not going to look that crash hot... I started simming on the PC when Live For Speed was in beta, and from there I moved to GTL and rFactor. Can't play anything else unfortunately, I like to feel like i'm actually in control of the car, not pressing left to go left.

I whacked F1 2010 on the machine last night and played it online with a mate in adelaide. I think it's ok but I was expecting a little more in car setup, and the ability to burn some rubber that you can actually see! What GPU are you using with this game? I'm running a Gigabyte 1G GTX 460 here.

I downloaded the trailer for it on PS3 last night, it looks alright but with GT5 coming I dont think I will both as it will just sit there.
If I had a PC/XBOX then yeah I reckon I would get it.
