No, it supposed to start being available beginning of February. I
finally decided to pre-order. I haven't tried any demo, but the
racecasts I saw made it look exciting and frankly, I want to have
something new.

I'm not sure I'll like it, since I'm not a great fan of ISI or their
graphics engine. Last time I bought a sim based on a minor league series
was Hooters Pro Cup, which was also based on an ISI physics engine (GT
Sports CAR) and it sucked badly...

It's ISI based?

Ah, crap. Not looking good for me. I am not a fan of ISI based SIMS.

Cut them some slack, Larry. They've always been willing to learn, and
I'm really interested to find out what kind of improvements ARCA holds
in store. There aren't that many serious simracing developers left out
there, so we should think twice before dissing a sim that isn't even
on the shelves yet ;-)

Cheers, uwe

I've driven the previous rFactor stock car mods. They are good
attempts, but I didn't find the driving feel to be that great, or at
least any better than N2003.

IMO ASR is in a different league. The feel of the car, and how it
seems connected to the road, is better than any other stock car
simulation I've tried. It goes way beyond a simple rFactor mod. It's
not just a new set of physics parameters. Some of the underlying
physics have been changed, and it's a big improvement.

One of the coolest things is that there is a dirt track in the ARCA
schedule. Duquion Illinois. It's really well done in ASR. Driving
and racing on that track is awesome.

We'll see :)

I always buy the stuff. Whether I keep using it is up to them...

Is this a mod over top of rFactor ?
