Sorry, i thought i made it clear enough, im talking about Iracing content, not how good your computer is.

There has not been a good racing game since Grand Prix Legends or Sports Car GT. I keep waiting...

Any NFS game isn't it.

Yabo

have you played shift?

F1C? GTR? iRacing? RBR? NKpro?

Lol...i think Iracing alone takes the cake right there, you don't need to play any other games and if you still say your waiting well you obviously haven't been trying any new games these days.

Honestly the first time I tried the Skippy in iRacing all the memories of my GPL days came rushing back.

I haven't played iRacing yet. I'll have to check it out, never heard of it before this thread.

it's pretty cool...i'm getting better at it...it will run you ~$35 to give it a whirl for a month or so to see if you like it. After that it's around $15 a month to keep the subscripton plus whatever other cars and tracks you want to purchase (and those are around $13 each, I think).

Old news, but Forza 3 demo is out FYI.

How does it run ritz?

I just tried the Forza 3 demo, and I actually have the full game pre-ordered. (It's the only game I've ever pre-ordered, and while I do have an xbox 360 wheel, I don't play many games, or know much about them).

Graphically, it's as good as you would expect. I made the mistake of starting with the Ferrari California and a standard joystick controller and wasn't feeling in touch with the game, at all. When I got out the wheel and started a slower car (a Cooper S), things improved considerably. The cars handle quite differently from Forza 2, and react to bumps substantially more than they used to. They also claim to have "More than 100 real world tracks" in the full version, so that should be good fun.

Oddly, you can rewind during the game to re-drive a corner you did badly, or un-hit a wall or car you hit. We'll see about that part.
