I personally have no clue what this is... but know it's been talked about for a while.

It's the latest version of Game Stock Car.
It has been given a real overhaul and is looking better than ever.
It uses the rF1 engine but it is miles better, both graphically and in how it feels.
I might be a bit biast as I'm in the betatester team, but right now it's in the top 3 sims.
Best of all, it's a free update to all that own GSC.
Compare that with the codemasters "annual patches" of F1....

It's probably te best use of the gMotor2 engine(s) that's available from every aspect....graphics, physics, the whole works.

A comparison video of GSC 2012 and RL, at Interlagos.

I'm gonna try the 1 hour full game demo for sure.

Thanks, Doug for the video edit..been a long weekend here, anything above 2 syllable words is a reach today for me.

Ahmad, it's also got Formula Reiza, which is a RB6 or 7 model with fictional teams made for it and is a BLAST to run around Interlagos in. There's also a Formula Classic (80's turbo F1's), which is basically the Formula Armaroil (sp?) mod for rF. There's a F3 series as well and a stock Camaro SS set that's a LOT of fun on the track. They haven't released it yet, but there will be a Mini Cooper set as well coming up.

I have to say in all my years of playing rF1, the Formula Classic series was the first time I've ever gone into a corner while braking and had the inside wheel lift and come to a stop, while the outside wheel kept on the track...just like we've all seen on TV time and time again. The FFB, the graphics, especially with the 2012 free release...are nothing short of outstanding.

This is absolutely first class product as far as gMotor2 goes. The visuals, the sound, the graphics performance and most, most importantly the FFB, which is imo best ffb ever, not only across ISI/Simbin games but also considering their competition (iRacing included). For rFactor user there is nothing spectacular there except... how smooth and appropriate all the forces are in their application (from G27 point of view).I hope ISI itself will take a good look at what great job Reiza did and learn a lesson for rF2 development.

Edit:

While downloading, I read somewhere that Formula Classics is not included this time. When I go through the series selection I found only F3 and Formula Reiza indeed. But when I choose the latter I found myself in Fromula Classics... for some reason this time Classics and 'modern F1' cars are all located uinder Formula Reiza categhory. Although they have their own subfolders there in car selection screen.

Still working on details but we're hopeful for a full review, promo and possible test-series at SimHQ in the coming weeks

Damn.. don't make me spend more cash on another racing sim.. Surely there comes a time to stop buying new sims.. especially ones base around older graphical technology

I know right!! lol
