What's the definition of "standard?"

I'm not expecting much, but I'll give it a try. Downloading now.

fun game but the car feels too grippy! and sounds alot like a csl.

 

[Gabkicks]

make sure you guys turn off the DCS and TCS. a good laptime is about 2:14. i think i could get down into the 2:13s if i had time to play more

 

[Sportscar_Rob]

Neat game, physics and sound rock I cant get below 2:20 though

I fiddled with it enough to learn that it's another ISI-engine game, from the guys who made GTR. Also, even though I was just using my gamepad, I could tell that the car was much more forgiving than the race cars in GTR/GTL/GTR2, which surprised me, because I wasn't sure the ISI engine was even capable of simulating a roadcar that way.

When I get around to it I'll try it with my G25.

best part though is that you can import it into GTR2!!!

Have you tried the corvette C6 yet?

Have you tried the corvette C6 yet?

The rFactor mod? No, I haven't touched that game in quite a while. I'm waiting for Touring Car Legends to come out and then I was just going to do a fresh install with that one mod. When you mix a bunch of mods together, things can get messy.

This game is fun and small. I have been using my xbox360 controller and its been a lot of fun. I love the addition of the clutch. Its also perfect for my school because everyone in my school needs a laptop (ibm thinkpad [yes it ours to keep]) and is perfect for the job.

the corvette has pretty believably handling. at least its probably the most realistic roadcar i've tried of the isi sims.

 

[Raitziger]

It is shame FFB is bad comapred to Live for speed just like with GT Legends.

 

[Small_Fryz]

Ive run a 2'10.9 for the GP track, havnt had a proper go at the sprint circut yet.

Very nice game and looking forward to the challenge

 

[Troya]

Quite cool game, good handling...and also fun in multi-player mode:tup:

 

[BreakerOhio]

I got the game last night. Pretty fun!
Only grip with the game is it's not in full 900 degree support. Ehhh...still fun though. Cockpit view is nice.

Knockhill!?

Is that a GTR2 addon?

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

yep knockhill and you can use the m3 in gtr2

Looks cool, unfortunately I don't do PC anymore.

Take that back...I had to change the settings for the G25 in Windows for it to be in 900 degree mode.

What are your guys settings in this game for the G25?

I have it on 100 percent sensitivity with 37 on the steer lock.
