I've just seen a UK  magazine advert for the "Johhny Herbert F1 98 Sim" from
Reality, claiming to be the most realistic yet. Anybody know any more?

I thought it was an April fool at first.  I couldn't spot any obvious ones
in the editorial or reviews.

Well I mean Johnny is a nice chap and all but he is not exactly a high
profile racer.

Apart from the advert I have not seen anything else about it anywhere.

They're absolutely right of course, I confidently predict it will be
the most accurate commercially available simulation ever of Johnny
Herbert's 1998 car.

Marketing speak - dont'cha just love it? You can say aaaaaaanything
you want :-)

Cheers!

I read a review in an Australian magazine about F1 by Eidos, anyone know
anything about that?
The same guy rated Ubisoft F1 at 72% in a magazine where most games get 90%
and yet he crapped on about how good the beta of Eidos F1 was.

Which magazine was that?
I'm starting to doubt Australian reviewers, especially ones who rate
CPR at 84% while only giving F1RS at 79%!!!!!!

   Yes, I'm just about to email good ole PCPP about that. The reviewer
of F1RS has a sirname that says it all really :)) Maybe I can score a
job, LOL.

   Good on ya. I still have both CDs sitting in the glovebox of my car,
hehehehehe. I put them there to stop them from melting while I find a
hiding spot at work to read the mag :) Digital sports semms to be the
best place to get a good review of racing sims. Most sites/mags that
cover everything just don't have a clue I've found.
