Sim racers thought you might know...

I dunno how many of you guys out there do any sim racing on your PCs but I thought I'd let you know that after 3 years of development RSR has released NAGT (North American GT) which is a modification to the ever popular rFactor loosely based on the Speed World Challenge GT Championship.

You get to flog around the track a lot of different cars involved in the series including the CTS-V, 911 GT3, Aston Martin DBR9, Viper, C6 Corvette, GTO, Volvo S60R, and last but not least the FR500GT!

NASA has a sim racing section called race2play you can get the mod there if you have rFactor I highly recommend it.

You have to remember that most mods are built by enthusiasts who are more or less adept at programming a realistic set of physics and or modeling a carset. That said there are groups who have access to real data and are thus more likely to be accurate then others (even some videogame/sim makers).

Metroplex all I can say that anything based on the Gmotor 1 and later Gmotor 2 physics engine (F1 Challenge all the way to GTR Evolution) is going to have a pretty solid physics engine that simulates most drivetrain layouts very well. I can suggest another sim if you want to try your hand with AWD and that is Richard Burns Rally. That one takes the cake in Rally simulations.
