R07: PC race sim gasp....


Well yea, I bought Race 07 along with Race On and STCC expansion packs on Steam, and damn this game is actually quite fun. Driving a WTCC '07 spec Honda Accord, I have done quite a lot of laps on most of the maps now, doing 30 lap track sessions really help you in learning the tracks.

As you can see in the screenshot, they actually have the flag system, unlike in GT5. Yellow signifies danger within the specified section of the track, blue is when a faster car is approaching you, and green is obviously the start of the race.

This game supports up to 24 AI drivers, so when you actually have a standing start with an AI race, things can get extremely messy on the first corner.

Anyway, the physics in this is pretty fun, the only gripes I have with the game is the lack of road feel in the force feedback on the wheel, the limited rotation of the wheel (only 180 degrees out of my wheel's 900) and for some reason the game does not detect the first inch or so of the brakes being pressed down...

God, I need to get the GTR Evolution expansion pack, it has Nurburgring in it!!
