Yep, I already signed up and am on the list for the beta test. The more I read the more expensive it looks though.........

After what that asshat Kaemmer did with the n2003 sim and his "ownership rights" I wouldn't support his cause if it were the best sim in the world.

Gary, it will be a pay to play and pay you will.

Reality is if they price it in the stratosphere then that is exactly where it will end up.. There are about 3 sims out now (rFactor,GTR2, and?) that are quite excellent... I would buy #4 if it had accurate, up to date tracks and physics but i'm not going to spend my "Hoosier money" on it!!!

mark's post is intriguing, Barcelona is one of my favorite tracks, however I don't really recognise his description, the corner in question, is not one where you 'carry too much speed', its one where some people get too hard on the throttle too soon (unless its the next corner, the official corner numbers are a little misleading). A sim based view of the circuit is another world

R+C
Completely agree. I miss tons of input from the car when driving a SIM. Still it's nice to spend some of that winter time behind one. Since the tracks here are soon all white..

Didn't know if this one was discussed before or not:

OK, $20-$30K, fine.
If I can just figure out a way to get it down into the basement.......

My girlfriend just bought me X Box 360 for my Bday, just for the simulations. Can anyone recommend a good sim game for the console? Are there any that have real tracks?

forza 2 will be out in a few months. nothing that is available currently for the 360 is close to a simulation.
