just been playing a demo of "Grid". yet another unremarkable racing game with no feel of what the car is doing.

I hold no hope that this F1 game will be any cop.

Last good offical F1 game was GP4. i know alot of people liked some of the EA ones but i didnt find them all that good.

Could the FIA no give a licance to SIN BIN or the guys that did R factor, cus they are proper racing games.

To be fair the world of Simulators has almost Died out, all they make is games that can be played on Xbox's and ps3's.
I believe in the chain of command, Its the chain I use to beat you till you do what i want!!!

its one thing to turn good laps doing it in traffic is a completely different

Sure, I understand that.

But should YOU be put out of a race because I cannot keep my car from running into you do to MY error?

To me, that would be the #1 reason for playing a sim. I dont have to let other peoples mistakes ruin my race.

Most serious online racers eventually find themselves in leagues. In that environment, there are no strangers and any screwing around is accountable. I have raced all my races with damage on, and enjoy it that way. Yes, I've been wrecked out. But hey, I didn't get killed. Just a few bruised electrons.
Racing should be decided on the track, not the court room.
