Is it possible to try an F1 version of Rfactor before purchase?

Hi Tom,

I have no idea if the demo version allows installation of mods, but if
it comes with the excellent Formula ISI (FIS) class cars, you should
have a blast no matter what ;-)

All the best, uwe

Hi Tom.

i downloaded the rFactor demo yesterday night to give it a try.

it contains this pleasant BMW Sauber F1
details : http://www.rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=BMW%20Sauber%20F1 )

i'm a happy GTR owner.

but... rFactor = mega bang for your bucks.

you can ride many types of cars, the physics is really awesome.

35 Euros is nothing for that jewel !

See you on the tracks   :)

Chris

rFactor blows IMO. I just got a DFP and its more enjoyable to play
rFactor but I still prefer LFS because its just nicer...

GTR is fun too but I like the regular production cars.

There is no way to control the car in rFactor compared to LFS because
the car grips like none other until the tail kicks out. When it does no
matter what kind of pedal work you do or how much you countersteer your
going to spin out no matter what.

Sure its easier to grip with the DFP wheel but just hope you never lose
the rear. Probably another reason why no one tries to drift in rFactor
as well..
