Seems to me that this could be the sim that people here have been waiting a
long time for. Major improvements, and easier modability. I'd love to see a
2004/2005 F1 mod with this updated F1C engine.

When I first saw the screenshots of this thing, i couldn't help but think it
was somehow a ripoff of LFS. I could be wrong, but that's definately the way
it seemed.

Looks a lot like LFS, but if it's based on the same ISI engine as F1C
and GTR, it'll probably feel a bit different...

I'm not saying that they stole LFS's physics or engine or anything, I know
it's all ISI's new engine. I'm saying that it seems like they ripped off LFS
in terms of cars and tracks and probably gameplay to some extent, probably
multiplayer. Heck, I can picture them selling it the same way LFS is being
sold, possibly even with all the fun online stuff like points, etc.
LFS is such a great idea, and is enjoying a lot of success by a lot of
people from sim racers to complete n00bs. I always thought someone big would
take notice of that.

Yep. Definitely looks like a nice blend of SCGT and LFS.

Not to start a useless arguement, since my opinion that it seems like an LFS
copy is purely based on screenshots and gut feeling. But, yes, even though
they had the engine down.. surely LFS being on the scene for this long now
could have influenced cars and tracks?

Both are ripping off Gran Turismo. Big deal. It's not the most original idea.

How many people do the other groups have working on their projects?
LFS has what, three guys doing essentially all of it? Being what could be
considered a "cottage" product, it's a very impressive effort thus far. S2
looks to make several improvements.
