Waiting for pCARS to go multiplayer, Brindle, REK and myself will most likely be playing around with this game.

If top notch graphics are your thing, this isn't the game for you.

If shitloads upon shitloads of tracks is your thing (It's my thing!), then this is the game for you!

The base game doesn't come with much, but the Mod Community was hard at work back in the day... I've just finished up downloading about 100+ tracks.  No variation bullshit here... 100+ unique tracks.

I'm going to start downloading cars next, theres bunches of those too.

The physics are good.  Simbin usually gets good reviews on their physics.

And here's the best part... because the graphics aren't superb, I'd be willing to bet that pretty much everyone here could run it!

Recommended:
Supported OS: Microsoft Windows XP Home/Pro, Windows Vista*
Processor: 3 GHz Intel Pentium IV or 100% compatible
Memory: 2 GB RAM
Graphics: DirectX 9 compatible graphics card with 512 MB memory, Nvidia 6800 or better
Sound: DirectX 9 compatible
Direct X Version: 9
Hard Drive: 2.5 GB free space
Input Devices: DirectX 9 compatible force feedback steering wheel

Another cool feature we like is that you can race online, but if there's only a few of you in the room, you can add AI to fill the field.  And the AI is actually good!  Brindle and I had a hard time winning when we were playing last night.

Here's a youtube vid I recorded today to wet your whistle...

Race 07 Caterham @ Sebring




And here's the even bester part!  The game sells on Steam for a whopping $2.99!

Come join us!  It's goos times!!!

I was looking into this a while ago (before GT5) but it was going to be too much for my 2008 Macbook Pro.  I even emailed support.  I might be able to sneak $2.99 past my CFO but you guys are all eastern time zone, aren't you?

[Wiz]

but you guys are all eastern time zone, aren't you?

Yes.  But on the weekends I'm usually up until about 3 am.

I forgot to mention it has MoTeC support as well.

I have this. Did you not get any of the expansion packs? The only reason I quit playing is theres not many people online to play with.

[Lonestar]

And how and where do you get the mods?

We haven't bought any of the expansion packs yet.  We figured for $3 we'd try it out first and go from there.

I'll probably end up buying them sooner or later.

Cool, let me know when you guys plan on racing. Are you using skype?

[Feldynn]

Is there an official website for this or is it like a Steam Exclusive game? 

Also, is there a proper cockpit view or at least a choice of views?  The one in the first part of the vid I watched seemed a bit high for a bumper cam view.

Also, also (depending on the answer to the first question), what kind of cars / tracks does the base game come with?  IF there's a website I don't mind reading through it but I don't have my Steam info handy and Google is so hard!

Most of the info you're looking for can be found here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_07

Also, official site here - http://www.race-game.org/race07/index.php

And yes, there is cockpit views.  I think you can adjust the height of the different views as well.

a choice of views?

Holleee shitballs I found the 72km (~44 mi) version of the Targa Florio.  

IRL fastest recorded lap ever - 33 minutes 36 seconds!

 

Can't wait to try it!

[Wiz]

This track was mentioned here a long time ago by I can't remember who.  I think it was Hotstepper.  Whoever it was said it was a kick ass track.  I have to agree.  I believe this track will quickly climb into my top list of favorite tracks...

Old Charade...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tB0DUV2TqBw#


That was about my 4th or 5th lap at the track.  As I get better, the funnerer it will get!

[TheHotstepper]

Awesome. Drivers used to wear open-faced helmets at Charade because it was so windy it would make them physically sick.

Also, Targa Florio!? That's insane.

I'd try this, but my 2007 Laptop isn't up to the task.
