FearlessFrog Senior Member Registered: 01/08/09 Posts: 4325 Loc: Vancouver, BC	Originally Posted By: Pumbaa666 Gotta say I'm loving these long point to point tracks... Reminds me of the first Need for Speed... And has anyone else noticed you can now join events? I saw the event stuff, next one is F68's around Rouen. Is it a time trial? I took that old car around that track for an hour - boy, that's a scary track/car combo. Not lifting off going down that hill gave me a cold sweat, and my time was still a good 10 seconds off of pace. I find that I have to either stick with a car (something less powerful) and really get to know it, otherwise it's a real hard sim. Love the way you see the leaves flutter on the track now too.

I spent the last half of my afternoon just trying to improve my time. Yep, although now I've been sucked into the vortex of examining tyre and brake temperatures. I didn't realize the HUD was so good (there's a bunch of keys in the 'controls / pencil' reassignment section). Oh dear, I'm doing set-ups. I can't wait till the replay shows the telemetry..

Loving the Rouen 68 combination great fun... Pity I'm around 6-7 seconds slower than the fast guys... It must be in set up... _________________________ "The motivation is high, I enjoy taking the smile off other peoples faces" Mark Webber

It's taken a fair few years but for me this is sort of a spiritual successor of Grand Prix Legends. That was a sim where laps was as much fun as racing and pCARS is showing the same kind of feel.

I dunno, there's rF2 which also has this feel to it... It'll be interesting to who really comes out on top out of these 2 titles... If pCARS doesn't have online racing to a full extent planned, then rF2 will be the winner in my books... _________________________ "The motivation is high, I enjoy taking the smile off other peoples faces" Mark Webber

That sounds like, translated, playable with reduced graphic splendour. change that to "not a chance", me thinks they've been very optimiztic about their min specs, even with all sliders left and all the fancy stuff turned off (both in the sim and driver control stuff) its a slide show
