I feel uneasy when people start taking artistic liberties in a simulator. It’s a slippery slope of neverending balancing (I can already hear the screaming nerf squad). They will never get it exactly right.
Also I like the idea of racing a championship realistically, even thought some cars are bound to be faster than others. So what? This might be an excellent MP option if they hit the balance right, but I want real cars with real life performance for my singleplayer sessions.

Just read the Q&A, I like the part of about the racing line in training. That should help some of the newer gamers that are just starting out.

I did have a laugh at the following line:
“All tracks have been modelled using CAD-data”

This means nothing. All is says is that they used a computer to make the track… what else would they have used to make a computer game? It’s a shame they didn’t do a laser scan..

Does this mean, they didn’t use GPS data like Polyphony Digital did for Gran Turismo 4? Man, i hope they modelled the bumps and differences in elevation as accurate as in GT4. Cause GT4 sucks in terms of car physics but has the best Nordschleife yet.

They still should have included our beloved Porsche’s and Ferrari’s.

Minor correction: it’s Diego Sartori, not Diego Sartoris. :)

I agree, this could turn out to be the best on-line race sim from the last few years. And I also like the advertising thing, makes it look fresh and new. But one of the DBR9´s on the pics looks very much like the LeMans Gulf livery, only without the Gulf logo…

“we hope that online-grids won’t be dominated by few, powerful cars but by variety” – I really, really like this idea
