I'm keeping an eye on it, looks impressive. Also rFactor 2 and Project CARS looks very promising.

I still race GTR2, just at a LAN at my Dad's place. I've set up 4 simulator and have virtual race meetings with a bunch of mates every few weeks. It's bloody good fun, but I do miss the larger grids.

I'm hoping the new generation of games will have LAN support so I can get run them on the simulators as the internet is crap where they are now. If not, I'll have to find a space for it at home and find/start some online series.

Ye I miss the days of IRT as well, had some good racing with decent sized field. Just recently being thinking of getting back into sim racing, just having a hard time source the wheel I want to get, but once that is done I am going to get back into it.

Anyone here end up getting Assetto Corsa? I picked it up the other day and love it! Really looking forward to the finished product now.

I've done a few online races, but the collision detection with high ping players is shit, to be expect being in Alpha I guess. Keen to find some local drivers to race against if anyone is playing it.

Yeah I picked this up, loving it as well. Started with xbox controller, ended up grabbing a Driving Force GT as a starting wheel.

Yeah you really need a wheel to do the game justice.

I finally had a race last night with people that didn't have 300+ ms pings. Was actually really good. The booking system is complete shit though. I can see their idea and I guess it does have some merits, but currently it just doesn't work that well.

I'd be pretty keen on an AC race here and there. Can't commit to anything serious at this stage as I have a 3 week old baby at home, so time is a bit limited these days. But would be good to have the odd sprint race with some local drivers.
