Key threads
- First impressions of the Race 07 demo 2007-09-07 · 30 postsPosters shared download links for the SimBin Race 07 demo and reported their impressions. Many found the physics, force feedback and out-of-the-box setup better than rFactor and GTR2, though some disliked the mandatory Steam account and others reported stuttering that was traced to shadow settings. Several complained that the AI still braked erratically, and the group discussed whether sim racing had plateaued while waiting for iRacing.
- Is force feedback in sims good enough yet? 2008-06-10 · 31 postsJoseph asked whether force feedback had improved after being disappointed by an older Logitech wheel. Most recommended the G25 with Race 07 or iRacing, and Tony Rickard posted a detailed iRacing beta review. Mario Petrinovic argued FFB latency makes it less realistic than a non-FFB wheel, while Pat Dotson and others countered that a spring-loaded wheel is unrealistic and modern FFB has negligible lag.
- NASCAR 2003 veteran asks about Race 07 and Steam 2007-10-18 · 19 postsA long-time NASCAR Racing 2003 player asked whether Race 07 was realistic and what Steam meant for the game. Replies said it was well regarded, especially its WTCC cars and online play, and explained that Steam is a distribution and copy-protection platform that can also launch non-Steam games. Later posts confirmed it does not use StarForce and warned of graphics bugs on some ATI cards.
