Real nice game. I definitely like the way the engine revs change when shifting. And driving through the barn, over rails, hills, rocks & into the lake. just one thing i didn't like, the ratio of speed to the movement of the asphalt. It reads over 80 mph & yet the it looks like I'm actually running at 25mph. One question to all who have downloaded it, Would you buy the full version?

It is one of the F keys. I think it is F2. Just try them all. --Keith "Coming in 2nd place just means that you are the first to lose!"
Agree. Its way better handling than NFS3 thats for sure. I like the realism. Yup the sense of speed is kinda poor. I would venture to guess that if the sense of speed was higher the car would be way too hard to handle in sim mode. Toughy. Not sure. I gotta go get my wheel out for this one and do some more racing to be sure. One problem I dont like. The grass must be really hard in this game cause my Viper squeels its tires in the grass just as much as on the pavement!! Not cool.

Very interesting, I have just the opposite perception. Just my impression though, I think it is much better than the GPL Demo--I couldn't stand GPL Demo because I had no sense of speed when playing it-sure hope the final version is better. Anyway,"would I buy the full version" HELL YES if it is anything like the demo. This game(sim) is just plain fun! Paul

Thats what I think. No impression of speed.
