Ferrari F360 Challenge to the PC?
If not, which is the best current PC game to feature a Ferrari (not an F1
Ferrari, i.e. GPL or F1 2001)?
Thanks,
Steve

Hmm... I can't recall any good simulator in my memory having a non-F1
Ferrari. Officially in the game, I mean (not a third-party add-on)
NFS:High Stakes is as close as you can get, hehe.

I'm just waiting for Ferrari Unleashed! Heheh....I'm not holding my
breath, but Ferrari has licensed the use of their cars in all the
other NFS games, so why not? If they could do it to the level of
Porsche Unleashed, I could die a happy man ;-)

NFS4 is NFS3 + F50, as far as Ferrari stuff is concerned.

Personally, I'd try the NFS series if you want, but if you want realistic
racing, then try a patched up Sports Car GT with the Ferrari 355 and 360
cars.

They have the whole set here. There is a bit of installing and patching to
do, but there is so much out there for SCGT.
Start at www.speedsims.com (when it is up) and go from there.
Currently, I have just about every car possible for SCGT (over 1,300 cars)
all the tracks (over 100) and it is fantastic.

That would depend on how much realism are you looking for in driving
sims. NFS3 and NFS4 aren't that realistic, IMHO, but my memory may
have faded for the period...
The graphics are somewhat dated, but you'd be driving so fast you
wouldn't notice. :-)
Yes, that's correct. NFS4 is EVERYTHING in NFS3,
and more. More tracks, more cars, more race modes,
modifiable cars (albeit just generic "level upgrades"
like SCGT) and career racing mode.
I believe there's a new EA bundle that contains NFS:HS,
NFS:PU, and two other racing games (Superbike 2001 and
NASCAR 2001?) for one low price now... You may pick that
up and see how you like them...
