I thing 6e66o has a point.
Realistic tracks are notthing with out realistic physics.
I realy hope it wil be a good sim, the older F1 games on the pc where great,(from EA) time for a come back!!

I doubt Codies will ever make anything that can be called a sim, but at least we’ll have accurate tracks to convert to other sims :P

But seriously, I don’t expect a sim from Codies. And everyone should also know this from past Codie products. I was a big fan of Toca 1 & 2 and Colin McRae 3 (I think), and I still remember them fondly. However, I’m not completely condemning them to “fail” aka do a useless arcade piece.

I’d guess they’ll probably go down the GT/Forza path – not totally hardcore but certainly not arcade either. In any case, a laser scanned Spa is drool worthy

yep totally agree with 6e66o, they definately need to focus more on the simulated side, people get over arcade type driving really quick and i for one wouldn’t even bother with it if it’s not simulated

Laser scanning eh? That’s very encouraging. Pretty much in agreement with 6e66o on that one.

And it’s confirmed by their exec producer, this is laser scan!!

I am extremely surprised and impressed to see laser scanning.

If they put such an effort in making accurate Tracks it would be Nonsense not to make accurate physics too imo.

So I force myself to be optimistic, even if Codemasters used to disapoint me in the past.

It is spa…confirmed by the dev.

Probably we won’t have a full simulation, but I’m really happy with this news: it’s good to see that they are trying to create realistic circuits with laser scan technology! At least this should satisfy who is still looking for more european track in iR.^^

Yeah, definitely looks like Spa. Run down to Pouhon I think.

One would hope the graphics improve between now and the release.
