Anyone know where to pick up F1RC in the US?  Online or Onfoot?

Thanks,

I picked up mine from www.interactcd.com - I just checked they have it in
stock for $39.95 (great guys to buy import software from!)

Personally load the add-ons to GP3 it is a much better F1 sim - the AI in
F1RC makes the game too frustrating.  Don't get me wrong it is a great
looking game however the AI is too unpredicatable - sometimes they race well
other times they all drive with there heads up there butts.

Ubisoft is apparently going to patch it - whatever !

Thanks for the info.

At this point, accurate track modelling and decent multiplayer are
high on my list.  Good force feedback would be nice as well (something
beyond feeling the bumps on the sides of the road), but I've yet to
find a modern F1 sim that has that (so far I've only tried demos,
though).  GPL is the only sim I've tried so far that you can feel when
the tires lose grip.

Thanks again for the link. I may wait to see if the patch is good,
though.

Unfortunately most FF is done for the gee whiz factor for the need for speed
crowd.

Well then F1RC is your best bet. Just don't race against the AI :-)
F1CS 2001 is fun online and the AI is excellent. F1RC has far better track
modeling and graphics though.
GP3 is fun as long as you're playing by yourself. I'm not a big fan of the
physics engine, and the graphics engine is dated.
All personal preference.

Accurate track modelling - A+

Decent multiplayer - C-

Good force feedback would be nice as well (something

Nothing comes close to N4 or GPL.  C-

Doesn't look like it will come out.  You'll have to get it based on it's own
merits.
