what if Kimi, Lewis and 'Nando, went head to head in rFactor. It would be awesome to see and doing some crazy illegal moves

Juan Montoya used to play Gp3, he also used it to learn the Monaco track, and he said he was amazed about how some trees where in the actual place on the game and on track...

i also heard Jaques Villeneuve likes to play racing games online... but no idea which ones

and me, i also like to play Racing games online rFactor..

Jacques plays RFactor Online. He and Anthony Davidson run a league for other Motorsport peeps. I know a certain F1 test driver and have been round his place when he was racing one of the karting mods around the Bercy track against JV, Ant and a few Honda engineers.

A BRM Engineer said that if 1960s cars drove like GPL, all the drivers would have died in a year.

Itv-F1 did a feature on the Williams Simulator and sent Mark Blundell along to try it out

That makes me feel like a driving God, thrashing the AI in the '65 mod on novice difficulty. Hell yeah!

Yeah I'll say, it took me like 15 restarts before I got the hang of Monaco the first time.

I heard Piquet plays Carmageddon frequently.

Personally I think he's more a FPS- player, as I guess he has no talent to keep even a Lego Racer on the map

I saw this on Saturday and although not an F1 driver I'm sure he will be soon. It's an interview with Bruno Senna about Ferrari Challenge. He states his reference game is GP4.

I think he said Gran TUrismo 4, not Grand Prix 4
