Anyone enjoy "Race 07" as a SP game?
I recently downloaded the demo, hadn't tried it in the past for fear it would be identical to the GTR series, although they took much of the fake stuff out, most notably the ghey spin recovery.

Anyways, after turning off pretty much all driver aids, maxing the GFX, maxing AA and AF thru the driver, it looks pretty nice (poor reflections tho). The physics really aren't too bad, just a bit forgiving, although the front wheel drive car feels kinda right. Considering all the technical stuff and realism, with weather, warm up, etc etc, for a "single player" game it seems pretty darn fun, and certainly worth trying the demo. I may pick it up, it's probably very very cheap. My only issue is the AI is extremely dumb, and won't try to overtake. A lot like in LFS, where they'll slam on their brakes rather than just let off and wait for another chance, same exact nonsense, but on the hardest settings, in poor weather, with no assists, it's a fun game, and I've only put about 3 hours on the demo.

Download and try it out if ya haven't. It's not LFS, but it's a nice break, and fun, really honestly good fun! I bet there's good GFX mods, we'll see if I get the full version.

Here's a healthy link, never a wait if ur registered, otherwise if ya have steam just dl it thru there.

i have race07/GTR Evo, not bad games just sucks most of the online servers are passworded, and usually empty. Probably the only reason i don't play it more
I have it and I like it. Allthough I mainly cruise (well, I'm to slow to call it "hotlap") the Nordschleife.
i drive in Nordschleife with the old BMW yea its fun but... i don't now
Yes. It is a great work, I think the best Simbin could make with gmotor2 engine.

Radicals are great to drive, has good physics, great immersion and sounds like hell.

Do the following experience: watch a MINI CHALLENGE video on YT, than go to the game, set AIs to 110, and you'll realize something

Or watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHeEBb-cmK4
and then go to the game and do the same... or try.

Many cars, many tracks, good physics, variable weather, live track, engine heating, great AIs behavior... it is a really good sim.

It's a great sim once you get GTR Evo and STCC added to it aswell. I organised a league with the community I'm an admin of and we're going into the last round this week, every race has had full grids and it's been fantastic fun with a little controversy too (had to ban 1 person for dangerous driving), but the championship is also going to the last round!

It is best played online and with an organised community/events.
yep, in a league it's really fun and competitive
Quote from Scrabby :yep, in a league it's really fun and competitive

Did you mean Single Player championship or Multiplayer League?
Yep, fun sim. GTR Evo with all the GTL and GTR2 cars, added with the STCC cars and a fine version of Knockhill is pretty darned impressive. Even though on triple screens my graphics card struggles with it badly .

Better than rFactor IMO by a long way and no faffing about for 3 weeks to get the settings the way you want them.

There's a new update coming out soon with American tracks and muscle cars, for the cost of this from Simbin you really can't complain.

Mind you the iRacing Radicals make the GTR Evo Radicals feel pretty tame.

Come on guys support simbin at least they're hanging on in there with PC sims

Oh and I haven't found any better sim for racing against the AI! The online pick-up racing is not worth bothering about due too certain crashfest but there is a huge community to get involved with for private leagues and servers etc.
