    Liking it. The screens are getting closer to what I think it’ll look like on the consoles, there’s less AA in recent screens. Of course it looking this good on consoles is hopefull for us on PC :happyevil: Also, I spy Donnington.

    Hmmmm… the shifter linkage seem to go to the rear: is it a transaxle car?

    Yep, the race version of the M3 uses a transaxle gearbox, the street version does not.

    Everything about this game is oozing class.

    It’s great to see the tracks looking alive with spectators and camera men etc. Though Simbins games look nice the marshalls etc look blocky and un-realistic, but this has much more life about the track and it looks good with it.

    If this does drive well in Pro mode then it will be a gr8 Race Sim even if it doesn’t tick all the simmers boxes :happy: .
