It seems ludicrous to spend $35 on Steam for Race 07 when Gogamer has it for $19, plus a few bucks for shipping. I'll get mine via Gogamer. Can't find the game at any stores in my area-- Ohio, USA. Alanb

It is a good deal in the UK though at �17 or so. �25 in most shops I believe. Cheers Tony

I'm still undecided about buying it, but I've enjoyed GTR2 (which I bought for that GTL mod but couldn't get it working) recently, which is making me reconsider Race 07. I like Steam as a distribution method, but it does make it too easy to buy things on the spur of the moment and then regret it later! :-) Andrew McP

Hi Andrew, Race07 is a big improvement over 06. Improved physics, sound, FFB and the graphics engine tweaked a bit. Some of the add on series seem a bit as if they felt they had to add new content to justify the upgrade - and they are probably right - there will be people that will complain if it is perceived as an upgrade. I believe Race07 will prove to be the best modern day saloon car sim available. Not too sure how the open wheelers will stack up at this stage - not tried them enough, but they don't have quite the initial quality of the touring cars on first impression. It is moddable too - I have already added Donington available from nogrip! Power & Glory for GTR2 is the best for historic saloons IMHO. Cheers Tony

The closer an update comes to the previous incarnation, the less value for money you're likely to be getting. I may stick with the Maserati in GTR2 for a while longer. I love the sound that car makes. It's almost as pretty as the original GPL Ferrari. :-) Thanks for your thoughts on Race07 so far though. Andrew McP
