If it's steam, I reckon anyone will be able to pre-purchase.

Flinty: it helps devs to release without fully testing. I understand why they do it, and it's fine with me as long as they tell me it's a beta or whatnot, and fix the bugs quick.
Surprise, no sig. Now there is. Or is there?

Sweet, please come back with some early reports.
I wasted hours last night on the tech demo & that's just one car & one track. I may be in for a long night tonight then.
It looks incredible & feels so good to drive.

All i'm going to say is get it.... :)

It feels good to drive, you can really feel the weight transfer of the car and the heat build up in the tyres. The only down side is there is no MP atm :(

EDIT: I have only driven the 458 at Imola thus far :)

Had a quick spin in the M3's. It does feel pretty good.

If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you finally have enough horsepower.

Well I bought it and I wasn't going to download it as I don't have internet right now. Steam said it was 1.5gb download so used my phone to grab it.

Its real nice. The tracks loom great. The lotus is a lot of fun as well. You can really push the Ferrari and it has good grip.

One of the two tracks I don't know is really nice and flowing with a few hairpins. Its great.

Had a quick spin just now - certainly some promise here.
The thing that stands out to me straight away was the brakes - they nailed that, feels great. The cars feel like they have real mass and take a lot of effort to slow down - very nice.

Had about 30mins on it so far.
The E30 M3 is great fun!

The Ferrari 458 Italia was a handful, wasn't ready for that - I guess I expected something a little easier to drive, love that it was the exact opposite...

Bit bummed the Mercs aren't in this build, I will continue to wait :tilt:

As others have said, the feeling of weight and weight transition in this sim is amazing.
You can catch a slide as well as, if not better, than in LFS.

Love it!

Looking forward to future builds.

Yep, really like the feel of this too. Mostly belted the Ferrari around at the moment, which I really like.

I'm having some issues with AA settings not really applying to the graphics, getting lots of jaggies, but I'm sure that will all get fixed up.

Grabbed it & have had a quick spin in a few cars. It's friggin awesome & feels so right in so many ways.

Like Righteous I noticed similar graphics issues as well as a bit of distant shimmering. It may be settings or hardware related.
But I tried to set it as close as I could to what I ran the tech demo with but it doesn't look as good as the tech demo did.
Although I did notice my GPU is the minimum recommend on their specs with the recommend specs having seemed to have made a big jump from the tech demo recommended specs.

Still did I mention it's friggin awesome! :eyepop:

just loaded it up the first time and the same here...have you solved it?
Edit: nevermind you need to hit f11 to go off full-screen if using triple monitors...

And of course the game is great :)

What do I need to do to get the updates? Or does Steam take care of that itself?

The only combo I've played out of that is Ferrari at Imola and I was somewhere in the mid 59's. I haven't simed for a very long time.

Did you play with the setup at all Giz? I did that on the stock setup with normal street tyres.
