It really depends on what team member level you buy... for $55 AU I got the Full member and get a copy of the game once it's released... Anything lower then that I guess you'll be either paying the difference or paying for it out right... But you can upgrade you member status along the way...

Nice build today. Lot's of improvements in most areas. Also the first pass of Rouen, Hockenheim, Donnington and Road America!

Donington!!! Yehaw! Looking forward to going home and checking this one out tonight.

**Bah** I was excited, but i wasn't double post excited.

Donington is gonna be a blast! Been putting in some laps there getting ready for round 2 of SSTCC once Brands is done this weekend.

I'm ecstatic about the confirmation of a laser scanned Brands Hatch though, 25 minutes from my house and my dad used to race there, I've spent more than a couple of hours at that track!

As Darren said, some great additions to the tracks over the past few days. The past few daily builds have made some great improvements to the frame rate drop some people experienced with the implementation of the new lighting engine.

There are some server issues at the moment meaning accessing the game and forums are a little patchy at the moment, so be aware of that!

Wow Rouen? Is it any good?

That was one of my favorite GPL and then rFactor1 track (VLN verson)

ooooo Rouen and improved FPS me liking the sounds of that... Maybe I can bump my settings back up again

For a first pass it's pretty decent. Has a bug that invalidates your laptime everytime you go over the cobbled hairpin, but apart from that it's great.

Mind you, i've only done about 2 laps - can't tear myself away from Road America which is one of my favourite tracks ever Thank you SMS!

I've done several long races and had so many 'wow' moments. From the lengthening shadows and the way the sun twinkles through the trees then blinds you in the corners, through to the the marbles and build up of bugs on the paintwork. The headlight effects are staggeringly beautiful. I've got the AI so they are very believable - still some occasional first corner carnage but if you can get through that i've had the best offline experience since GTR2. Still needs a little more physics work on some cars but the DTM is pretty close to where it needs to be.

Impressive stuff.

Just ran a few laps myself of the new tracks...

Pretty damned nice looking once you get out on track... getting out on track on the classic Hockenheim and Donington GP seem to be a bit of a luck of the draw thing as I'd either end up free falling into a time warp or being thrown around like I've found some kind of launch pad just outside of my garage... turning the damage off made a difference...

Road America on the other hand is beautiful at night, but during the races I seem to start from the pits, but it's still a lot of fun...

And I've got the same problem as you at Rouen DB...

This project is really coming along now. The handling/ffb is starting to feel great, the tracks are coming thick and fast and the graphics are pretty spectacular in places.
