I didn't know F1 cars would be included with rFactor when it's released.
These should be a thrill to drive on the limit with the new game engine. :-)

I'm still callin' it a higher budget version of LFS with way too much
bumpmapping.

It may be that, but it will also be the best sim yet.

Albeit a very general auto simulation rather than a specific one.  The
screenshots only show "F1" cars rather than F1 cars.

Why do we have to go through this cherade?

They'll be there five minutes after the sim is released, and you know that

I guess they could pay a shit load of money in order to put a licensed paint
job (with all the pretty ads for garbage) on just one type of car, for one
series, to make guys like you happy. Maybe they could make another F1 sim
with restrictions on multiplay so then we could hear guys ***ing about how
it's not good enough and nobody does it as good as
Papy.....blah...blah....blah.? Isn't the NASCAR license unavailable? Did you
want them to do a series that nobody really cares about just so they can
claim the cars have a real paint job?

'cause it's much more fun to race in you know, real cars on real tracks?

I'm actually not sure this time, unless they want easy cheating online.
It's a catch-22 here.

Nah.  Real cars don't have to be expensive.  Just model stuff that is easy
to license.  Not Ferrari, but hey why not an old LOTUS, or a Formula Ford,
etc..  Same for tracks, they are cheap.

All the road racing I do online right now is on user created tracks with
user created cars. Guess which sim is the base?

Why?

So they model an old Lotus, on some real but obscure tracks. What does that
change? I will still immediately want the F1 and modern sports cars, along
with all the well known tracks that are available for F1C. The old Lotus
(that had to be paid for) sits in the garage, and the obscure tracks (that
had to be paid for) are ignored, and they haven't made the sim any more
legitimate. Great physics, graphics, sound and multiplay is what I want.

just to be more pedantic, those don't even look like F1 cars but F Renault
cars - all the same, open wheels are open wheels.

I'm checking out all my sims online at the moment, and the vast, vast
majority is run on real tracks and real cars.  Even third-party stuff, of
course they will do real tracks and real cars.  It's just that, we as users
imho never make tracks as good as the original ones.  Especially if there is
talent (ISI) creating them behind.  Sure there will be *** freaks who
will spend months recreating Le Mans or whatever, but overall I like when
buying my sims, not to have to wait 6 months until barely raceable tracks
find their way on the net.

You've got a point, but hey people are still racing Cup cars massively in
NR2003 no?  btw I'll take the Lotus please instead ;)
