    Ehh.

    I'm a huge nerd for aerodynamics and new technology. V6 turbo's with crazy aero is more my stuff.

    I'd happily purchase it tho, and throw some dosh at Sector3!

    Check out the historic F1 (Formula Vintage) in Automobilista. IMHO the physics feel quite plausible/believable. For me it's the first time in a sim, where these old rolling cigars doesn't have the usual "boat" feeling. You can precisely place these cars on the track. No exaggerated swaying and wandering. In most other sims, i'm in the need to constantly correct my driving line, because of that overdone sponginess of vintage F1 cars. At least that's how i think about it.:rolleyes::)

    Will check it out for sure. I agree with your way of thinking too, these were still race cars after all and the pinnacle of technology at the time.

    I'd be more interested in 1960s GT cars in Raceroom, I have AMS for open wheelers...

    I love the drive of the old F1 cars using stick shifting double clutching and heal-toe shifting, they're the ultimate chanlange of driving skills. I try to drive them regularly in the games that have them, but so far no game ever realy got it totaly right but it is still so fun driving. So if they where in R3E I am shore it sould be a epic driving experience.. I for one would love to see them in R3E I would be using them a lot :D But then it would be nice to have some historical race tracks too, like the old Hockenheim, SPA, Monza, Monaco... but either way driving em on a modern track would be a awesome experience and great fun IMO. :D

    Yes, I hope this monster will be our FR Classic / Vintage Cup car!

    It's very well known :)

    I like those cars, they're really fun to drive. Also, less fragile than modern F1. I remember hours of F1 1969 in GTR2. But I have to be honest - till certain set of features is in R3E, I won't buy them or anything else.

    Licenses would be expensive making it pointless for S3 to spend time on it. and even if they made a load of 'close fakes' like Automobilista does, we can't add custom skins to cover it up, so it won't be that good. And while those cars are fun for a few laps, online races are a mess in sims with cars like that.

    Online races is always a mess with bad drivers isn't it?... a good driver adapt to the car he have, not the other way around ;)
    IMO.
