So funny, but potentially true :)
"rFactor also came along, proving that a real physics engine for fake cars
can be just as immersive. It threatens to become the SFP1 of the racing
simulation genre, boasting open architecture and full support for modding.
This guarantees that we're sure to be in the middle of a NASCAR Busch Series
race only to be overtaken by an Avocado Green Mercury Grand Marquis station
wagon."
My hope for online simracing now lies with GTL's N.American release ;)

You will not be dissapointed with GTL, its ***y brilliant. best sound
in a sim ever, great gfx and track detail.dont be put off with the
career mode coz you cherish each car you win and will really enjoy the
differences between the cars and classes. feels good thrashing a vete in
a little elan.

ps. online seems very smooth and alot better than previous ISI attempts

I have GTL and it's a great game. Online is smooth: only wish there was the
possibility of having add-on tracks, to increase longevity.

snip Mitch's comments out.
Jebus Alan, is this your auto reply to posts here at RAS? (I didnt
understand).
How can you not understand? you need it on tape/read to you? <G>
BTW he said what you said, with more details and not wordy.
Snipped.
is there no hope for tracks being made by the mod community? (admitting
lack of knowledge here).
Take care, Sting32 <plowboy>
The failure of rF is from the developpers and the produces who have failed
to have good distribution in stores and especially a stable online
environment where mismatchs wouldn't happen (think the Counter-Strike type
platform where clients would have their game modified as they log-on if they
aren't using the same files). TXT files ain't big.

I'm getting a little antsy as well. There have been two full carset
add-ons: the F3s and the PCCs. The later have been savaged by the
purists on RSC over the front-rear weight 'oversight' by GMSF. Lo^ is
due with the 3rd version of the F3s, as well as, rumor has it, a
scratch track or two. Give it three more months.
I'm sure you'll like it.

I think it's definately possible to have add-on tracks, if they don't exist
already, but I don't know if they could be used online. Add-on cars exist
already, but those don't work online.

Not being able to smash that puny little car with the American muscle(*) is
annoying, true, but it walking all over the E-Type too really gets my goat.

(*) Except for a GT40, but that's really like using a bazooka to kill a bug
I don't know: the last time I checked "coz" was not a word. The reason I
found the post so hard to understand was because it seemed like it was
written in some coded language, that's all.
More details-- seemed to me to be a lot of generalities.
And sorry for the wordiness. I guess that if you prefer "coz" over some
other existing word, then there's nothing I can do for you.

I know you want it to fail since that was your prediction, but just wanting
it to fail doesn't make it happen. :-o
How many sales have they had so far? They have a new demo coming out soon,
and I suspect they still have a huge number of potential sales awaiting
them.

You don't have to be a purist to be disappointed by a porsche having more
weight in the front than the back and them changing the garage menu to cover
it up.
The trouble with rfactor is amateurs trying to be professionals and then
getting upset when their work is criticised.
I'm tired of it already.

Yea I think I'm going to like it as well. The demo was outstanding in it's
own right so I'd assume its only gotten better.
