> "Hi guys. Just got some new details about F1RC. I'm doing a small review
> quite soon, but for now, here's some new highlights.
> The demo and the 'preview' are not the finished thing. The French developers
> are still working on the game and both the demo and preview are only some
> 75% finished.

> They are still working on the physics, AI, some track modeling and some work
> on the controls.

> I think split axis will make it into the final version but can't confirm it
> yet.

> The physics engines for F1RC is brand new and is NOT that found in Pro Rally
> or any other game. It has been written from the ground up for this game.

> Anyone else think this sounds like a career mode??
> Fully dynamic weather including FOG, Rain, Sun etc...

> Full car setup options with over 10 screens of information inc tyre
> pressure, temp etc. Also F1RC allows players to re-use worn tyres during a
> race

> Dynamic replays which allows the user to select the size of replays.

> Right. I hope to have a much later build of the game very soon. This will be
> pretty close to the final version and not the months old preview and demo
> that's out now.

> Soon as I have more news, i'll past it on."
