Awesome preview Guod, really nice to see in your preview that multi-monitor support is in, hopefully it will work really well like iRacing's does, very excited about the beta and hoping it will come out today or tomorrow.

And I am this type of gamer:
"I'll crank that baby up to the maximum settings and work the graphics back down to an acceptable level."

Most likely if I get the 3 monitor support working I will have to dial down the settings.

Thanks for the preview, look forward to racing with you guys online at Spa '67.

I was looking forward to this but all this hype is making me second guess. Another sim was hyping itself last August and it turned out to be a dud. I don't understand why devs do this to themselves. Ah well. At least I'm not so exited by this anymore.

Great preview,...hits nicely on a lot of the areas that people were wondering about. Some really nice screens as well and an exclusive on the track marshals. While I'm sure a majority is waiting for a GPL-flashback, seems to be a decent mix of car types to give a good impression of the physics performance overall at this point.

We all just have to remember one thing....it IS a Beta. It's going to have some teething problems, but ISI's always shown great support in the past.

Looking forward to being the first to take a dip into the Monaco harbor.... dizzy

I'm barely getting up to speed on rFactor and then they come out with rFactor 2? I guess I'll be back up to speed in...7 years? <sheesh>

Nice article, Doug! Looking forward to more screenshots and gameplay vids!
