Heya Denis, thanks for giving me 'my chouice' of cars. I believe I know why I have the option. Thanks, but I will be more than happy with a spec 1 MX5.

Thank you for putting this on.

Looking forward to seeing all you guys out on the track!

Bryan

PS: These cars are too much fun... Stop it! : )

No problem.
Feel free to join us any time.
Some of the guys are super knowledgeable about rF2. I'm sure you could save a lot of time and frustration by coming along and asking for help to tweak the sim.

awesome! yes, i've been curious about rF2. seems to have a loyal and dedicated fan base, but i have heard that it takes a bit of tweaking and tinkering to get it set up and running smoothly... i'm going to have a look into it.

It kinda does. But in reality, what takes time are getting on top of the rF2-isms. There are UI-choices that you can trace back to Sports Car GT back in the 90's. Which means, if you are an ISI-fanboy like me (or rather, without actually realizing it, I've mainly kept to ISI-games my whole life), it will be very familiar, but if you're not used to ISI-games, it will take some getting used to.

ok, thanks for heads up. i continue to hear good things about rF2, which has me curious... i will definitely check it out! can't say i'm familiar with ISI games so looks like a learning curve that i look forward to undertake...

Don't let anybody put you off. Give it a try, keep an open mind and ask around (including here) if you have a question. Don't waste time doggedly trying to solve stuff yourself. That's my advice.

consider it done!
i also have ACC and AMS2 on my PC. although the graphics are pretty amazing with those titles, and the amount of content with AMS2 is pretty impressive, i haven't really been hooked... the gameplay and overall driving experience doesn't seem as satisfying to me as AC.
looking forward to giving rF2 a spin... keep you posted...

Hi Denis, can I sign up for this please?

I have been sim racing for a few years but not ventured online much, this seems like a great way to give it a go.

I would say I am a rookie from an online racing point of view, but looking to change that

cheers Sam
