>>>IMHO the "formula" cars in rFactor are a mess.  They are much too fast
>>>and
>>>the tracks that come with the game are much to tight to run that fast.
>>>The
>>>trainer cars are the only open wheel cars that are done well.  Remember,
>>>just one mans opinion.

>>The very wide FOV and world movement in rFactor has tricked a lot of
>>people into thinking that that fantasy F1 cars are way too fast but if you
>>use a similar FOV to F1C or even GP4 they're comparable and if you watch
>>the speeds when accelerating they seem reasonable.  I've always loved wide
>>FOVs so it didn't bother me.

>>There's already an F1 mod available for rFactor but it's very amateurish
>>and doesn't include tracks.

>>Most of the supplied tracks are a bit small for F1 cars but Mills GP and
>>Orchard Lake GP are pretty good.  Toban GP & the 3rd party Birmingham
>>aren't bad either.

>>Indy fans should enjoy the huge Orchard Lake oval.
