I really don't hope you work with something that requires more than
50% then ? :D

"Sweet" is all I can say when I watch the movies of the wet race.  Time will
tell what the frame rates are like, the multiplayer, yadda yadda, but on
visuals alone, I'm sold.  The graphics aren't overdone, like some recent F1
games, but not as stark as GPL.  Those must be the nicest looking front
wheels in any sim.  I can't get all upset about the armless wheel, because I
am too busy trying to pick my jaw up from seeing the wet track.  The
reflecting puddles in RC2000 were a step in the right direction, but this
has "atmosphere" in bucketloads (those would be the buckets that were
previously full of rain).  Some of the screenshots showing a drying line
leave me feeling very good about getting into some serious strategical races
(shades of Donnington '93).  The independantly locking front wheels are a
good sign as well.  Spray off the front and back wheels.  Wee-haa.  Sign me
up.  It's only 50 bucks, after all.

Why do it difficult when it can be so simple: there is a new "help" icon on the
steeringwheel (the one located most to the right side) which refers to
steeringhelp. And it is active    :-)

Anybody understand German? Movie avi.17 I hear a mention of "pentium,
pentium zwei funf hunert"? I have very little German skills but I
believe they are saying Pentium 2 500. Can anyone put the conversation
in context?

Yepp, they mention P2 500 in that video. I still have to download video
#18 to hear, if it ran good or bad on that machine...
