    Anybody play it?
    I bought it on Monday in GAME in Dundrum. They have the wrong price marked on it so it only cost me €25 :)
    It's actually not a bad sim! The 1st one in the series was ok, but this is much better.
    It still sucks (as do 90% of racing sims) online which is a shame, but its a nice offline sim.
    Well worth the €25 if u ask me! :p

    Prefered GTR2 tbh, I hated RACE's engine sounds and the game just didn't feel right, also such a small selection of cars.

    Not including variations, there's about 10 different cars in Race '07 I believe. I picked it up on steam when it was released and I've been enjoying it so far. The F-BMWs, Caterhams and Radicals are great fun to drive. The graphics still look a bit plastic for my tastes though.

    Played some more today and loving it.
    Online is silky smooth based on the 7 or 8 races ive taken part in.
    Little if any warping,everyone seemed to have low pings.

    Gave the demo a whirl last night online. Decent enough. Still wierd how somtimes it feels like you are floating above the track, for lack of a better expression.

    I got Race 07 a few weeks ago, I must say that its an alright game but the FFB is very bad. Its very like rFactor and the BMW Challenge game (not sure if they are made by the same company?). I think LFS is miles above the rest, the best physics and ffb around and probably the best community. For those of you who havent tried it, i suggest you do :)

    @Niki, i was wondering why you werent around much on lfsf :) Gratz on the new house mate ;)

    As much as i love LFS its feeling really old now.
    FFB in Race 07 and all ISI based games are better than LFS by some distance imo - well on my G25 atleast.
    Physics are great on LFS but also great on Race 07.
    To me it boils down to which offers the best close racing and online.
    Both race 07 and LFS are great here.
    As for best community im not so sure.
    It great for sure but so are others,id argue that the GPL is the best simracing community about.
