okay I just tried the game and I have say I love it It is Rfactor but the only car you can choose is the Toprace touring cars. The everything else is rfactor. Interlagos has a lot more detail in the track than before. The handling is great, only problem is if you play the game from the cam outside the car, the engine noise is really quiet, but if you play from any other cam view it is fine. The car really feels sluggish below 3000 rpms. For the post above that could not get the game to work, here is what you have to do. Use the coupon code they email you, and then when it ask you to buy the full version, say yes, and then click on “I have coupon” on the left side of the page. Then put in the same code they emailed you and it will load and the game will work after that.

curcanos:

How did they add raindrops then? Surely they modified the game somewhat.

Just a guess: perhaps they licensed the same code that was used back in 2006 with GTR2. Reading some previews, I see now that dynamic grip is announced as feature of the game. So perhaps my assumption about fixed dry/wet was wrong…

So it could well be that is not based solely on the trusty old rFactor as before.

NombreyApellido: They didn’t add rain á la GTR2: you can choose between a dry or a rainy version of the same track AFAIK. I’d said pretty much vanilla rFactor. And that’s what kept me way from those products. Until now, that is. /Chris

If anyone who buys this managed to get past the activation please say here because i didnt get a code for the stupid activemark activation thing (like rFactor’s) i just got one for the program that runs before it.

Mr. A: I’m not very familiar with 2PEZ Games. Do they do a lot of development themselves on the game engine (I see they have added rain at least) or is it pretty much vanilla rFactor with custom content?

phil23:

I didn’t like Turismo Carretera as the cars were too hard to control, but hopefully this will have a better feel to it. The video certainly promotes some good close racing .

The cars aren’t really hard to drive, they´re pretty tame until you push them to the limit.

Even though I didn’t even know the real life series before trying this sim, I have to say I like these cars a lot. They´re as durable as WTCC cars but more powerful, a very nice combination.

I wish the DTM cars would be like this

Hmm, anyone know what that track is with the mountains in the background?

Looks good. The video on their site reminds me of the excellent tracks and close racing battles from the STCC.

Looks very intresting but I have never see any 2Pez game in my local stores here in the Uk. Any news on where this will be availble???

The raindrops looks intressting, maybe we get to see them in rfactor after the release of this game

What struck me the most was the almost identical Monitor and Setup menus as rFactor. :D Just with a white theme. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing though, as rF works just fine.

The cars look… weird, in some way, I think. Probably just because I haven’t seen their real life counterparts. And I still prefer the look of the WTCC cars instead of this. Maybe that’s just me.

The screenies are okay, I guess, but not stunning in any way.

The menus look really good, much better than a lot of other games.

It certainly looks a bit better than the ACTC, car models at least… I haven’t seen much about tracks though, which were underwhelming to say the least, in previous 3DGen/2Pez games. If they’ve improved in that area, I might end up paying for it.
