rFactor
Anyone on here familiar with rFactor? Not really a gamer myself but a friend who is turned me onto it. Fan-bloody-tastic!!! driving simulators have
come a long way since I last looked. The game is 'open source' so individuals can create tracks and cars (mods) with incredible accuracy.
there's loads freely available online. I downloaded Castle Combe (my local circuit) and a Caterham, plugged an £80 Logitec wheel and pedals into
my PC and can honestly say I'm almost exactly as crap on the simulator as I am in real life, it's that accurate 
Would love to hear of a locostbuilders league or if anyone here more computer savvy than me could create one (and maybe a few more BECs)

I've got it but cant get it to run at a decent resolution for some reason.
I have all the GTR games and race etc. Have lots of the mods for them - cadwell park is good!

I've got it - I had a go with it prior to this year's Birkett Relay which was held on the 'old' GP circuit at Silverstone. It
certainly helped me get a handle on which way the corners went (I hadn't driven that particular circuit before) and the vehicle dynamics are
pretty good.
Not very Locost but very BEC

Never mind downloading it - get it bought! Both my copies together cost less than £15...
There are mods for all sorts. Cateringvan mod (with BECs and CECs) is a laugh. My rfactor performance around Oulton matched the Indy in real-life -
even down to the 360 at Druids... There are some pretty good Clio Cup and Mini downloads, too - all free if you register at rfactorcentral.
I'd be interested in some Locostbuilders online evenings: it's either rfactor or TT RRRC on the PS2.

Got it to run at 1280x1024 iirc. But the Abu Dhabi mod is v. jerky on another PC, no matter what I do. Otherwise all good!

grr took 5 hours to download, then the computer said it didn't have enough space and cancelled the download, but only after it downloaded the
whole thing
