In the next week or two there will be a new issue of AutoSimSport released on http://www.autosimsport.net for you to feast upon. For this magazine I have been working on a few things, most notably this, a piece on the upcoming rFactor 2 beta.
This video is a couple of laps of Spa as it was in the late 1960′s, an extremely fast and unforgiving place that put hairs on the chest of any who took to her:
The thing that has kept running through my mind, running this old ’68 F1 car around here is: “People actually used to do this!” Especially during the small “excursions” I ended up enjoying.
480p? this is a joke? in 2011?
No, it was 1968.
Cool video! You should blog more about sim racing, seems you are really into this…
I have bought a Playseat and wheel and clubsport pedals from Fanatec. Now I play: GTR2 on Windows (actually on a Mac via Bootcamp, but it’s perfectly working!), Forza Motorsport 4 on XBOX360 and Gran Turismo 5 on PS3, all with the same setup (playseat, fanatec).
It would be great to read a comparison from your side, knowing that FM4 and GT5 are not sims, but it would be still interesting… By the way: I think FM4 has the more realistic motorsounds than the teaser of GTR3, GTR3 sounds still too artificial.
This really seems like the simulation that I will want. I am very interested in the late 60s for simulation of F1. I’ll probably be getting this soon.
It’s like the way I would fantasise GPL would be today, if it had continued to be developed. Lovely!
What is the spec of the PC this is running on?
Intel Q6600 Quad, 4GB RAM, nVidia GTX460. Nothing mental.
