    I love the historic reproductions of Rouen-Les-Essarts and Hockenheim in this update. Perfect tracks for the classic Lotus collection.

    Nice but it does remind me that we’d all be screwed with Jack Spade. The default FFB is still bad but when you punch in Jack’s FFB settings pCars is up there with AC and RF2

    Interesting mix; the 38 is an oddball with a great engine, the 40 a bit of a pig (or was it just fragile?). The 25 and 51 represent an extreme light-weight, “low power” philosophy that doesn’t really exist in competition any more.

    Rouen’s a great circuit, too.

    And to think the day the HTP livery for the Bentley GT3 gets released… Bentley releases HTP of their GT3 contract.

    I knew it would just be a matter of time until SMS started releasing the classic tracks they made for “Test Drive: Ferrari Racing Legends”. That game has a bunch of great old tracks. Can’t wait for the old Imola.
