I've tried it and you haven't. The open wheel trainer is spot on, and
has a better feel than the GPL 65 mod.

Until you have rF on your  hard drive, your comments are worthless.

Not sure where you're going with this, first you argue that won't buy it
because there's no demo and when it's pointed out that there's a 48 hour
money back satisfaction guarantee, you say that's not something you'd
want to take advantage of and you'd rather have them make a limited demo
version ?

Always knew you were a bit weird :)

Beers and cheers

As a long-time regular to RAS, you should know that the activity a new
sim creates is usually indicative of its quality. rFactor has created
(and for now, sustained) quite a buzz here in RAS, so I'd consider it
your m***obligation to give it a go! ;)

All the best, uwe

If that were the case, F1C would have generated substantially more
activity.  rFactor is subtly better in certain areas, but it's
definitely not a quantum leap forward.

30+ drivers in an online race is "subtly better in certain areas" than
F1C? Now there's an understatement if ever I saw one ;)

I'm sure it has, F1 2k1 already outpaced GPL in that area a couple of years
back.
