Auto Club Revolution

Hey there.

I recently found a quite nice game, which I thought would share with you: Auto Club Revolution -> [www.autoclubrevolution.com]
It's an online racing game, the base is F2P and you can play through all the avaiable classes but some cars may not be accessible to you, if you don't buy "E-bucks", the currency you need to buy many boni.
Some tracks are fictional but you can also play the current layout of Silverstone, Spa Franchorchamps, Hockenheim in 4 versions, Indianapolis, Daytona Superspeedway and Sonoma Raceway (Infineon Raceway).
Cars are divided into 8 different classes, E being the worst, RA the best. In the Showroom you can see every single car, it's stats and everything. It's sorted after the price you need to pay in E-bucks. Full list of cars is under my post. In brackets you either get the info "credits" (available for everyone) or "E-bucks" (those only available to those paying).

The game itself is quite realistic. While there is no damage nor tyre-/fuel-simulation, you can't just smash the car in every single corner or ram your opponents out of the way. A sometimes harsh punishment system is used in the game, but situations like described above luckily don't happen too much atm.
The cars tend to understeer quite a lot, still you can drive around corners quite agressively. Driving without Stability Control and Traction Control is possible, but very difficult because the cars (atleast those of higher classes) will try to swing out, spins can happen quite easily. With full driving aids it's rather easy but obviously not that fast.
At the moment the game is visited quite frequently, you'll always find a game, if not, you can start your own and people will join most of the time. Matchmaking is easy and fast, although a few annoying bugs could ruin your race or not let it start at all. But for a F2P-game it's nontheless great.
Also you can paint your cars like you want. You have certain schemes available at the start to paint your own car as you want. While texting is quite difficult with that (I've not yet managed to, maybe there's a trick, I don't know yet) you can easily design cars. I'll make a pic of the first draw of the car I've done, Opel Corsa OPC with a Repsol livery. See second post for this.
Who else is playing the game? My username is xSilvermanx , would love to race with you some time.

So here are the pics. Resolution is 1280x1024, the livery is currently WIP (quite obvious ^^), Sponsor logos are missing, the back and roof of the car are not finished yet.
Graphics are set on Ultra. It's working great, PC-specs are: Quad core 4.2 GHz, Nvidia Geforce GTX 550, 8GB RAM.

I should never again post something late evening. Knew, I forgot something

For PC it is. And before you ask, I'd recommend using a steering wheel. Gamepad or keyboard are possible but it's only fun with a steering wheel.

So, anything else that I forgot to mention that would be mentioned at the start by other people? xD

That's ok, I noticed on the front page it says 'download the app' and that was why I asked as that usually refers to an android platform. Before I sign up, how big is the download?

I've downloaded a total of 3.85GB. This happens while you're playing for a big part but will stop you from having many different cars at first. They are not in the initial download. That is 605MB.

You gonna add me? ^^
