Straight from the horses mouth
No demo because we didn't have time to create one AND get the game out on time. So we put all effort into the main game.

When Iracing has the Williams car in it, people will still claim its not realistic.
But then again, Webber refers to the Red Bull simulator as a game, so maybe thats all they are when you cannot simulate G Forces or Braking forces.
Accurate tracks as a learning aid to drivers that need knowledge before getting to a circuit i can see a use.

@gav
no worries about the name :p
I fully understand that this is not a sim, it'll hopefully be on the same level as GP4, as tbh i prefer playing that than GTR2 or rFactor, as i prefer an accessible game to a full on hardcore game.
"Still, racing sims and games have a horrible history of being pimped by real drivers as realistic."
Aren't we getting to the point where the technology is able to replicate real life now?
Most teams have their own simulators now, and it won't be too far down the road where we see commercial games and sims at that level.
At least on PC.

Looking to get a PS3 and oddly there seems to be little competition between the big shops and all seem to be £249 for the 120GB slim.
Is that my best option? (120 is more than adequate for me).

The more video's I watch, and the more I read the more I think Dave is right about the wheels.
This is a game not for steering wheel use... Ill wait for a review to pop up here, buy it, then maybe judge myself but im not sure. I think a £30-£40 rumble pad would be better maybe.
"Trulli was slowing down like he wanted to have a picnic" LOL
