What forums for what games? by
Jeff Reid
I'm just starting this thread, hoping that people here can add to
the list of good forums or sites for various racing games.
Here is my list, starting with some older games:
Need For Speed 4 - High Stakes

In the forum section, you'll find a link to the...

GTR and curbs by
Jeff Reid
In GTR, at least at Spa, some of the curbs can help a car
turn quicker if you drive the inside wheels over the curbing.
This doesn't seem realisitic to me, but it helps reduce lap
times, so I use it.
Is it just my system, or do any others here experience the
same thing?

New web host for my videos by
Jeff Reid
I have a new web host now, but the link remains the same (see below). Some of the videos have new names, but are the
same as before. I added some NFS6:HP2 videos using the Ferrari since the sound from the Mercedes and McLaren is so
awful. There are videos from several other racing games if you want...

Future of pc based racing games? by
Jeff Reid
I live in Southern California (USA).
At the local EB games, there's about 1/2 shelf for PC games,
while there are 2 shelves per console for consol games.
At Best Buy, it's just a partial row of games.
Then the prices, GTR2 - $19.99, GTLegends - $9.99, Flatout 2 - $29.99
(so much for racing sims...

Induced understeer works GTR2 by
Jeff Reid
At least one noticable change in the physcis between GTR and GTR2. When slowing
(lift throttle) or braking, and the rear end steps out, you can steer inwards
to cause the front end to plow, to correct the oversteer (driver induced
understeer). This rarely worked in GTR, but it works well in...

Racing Game Videos by
Jeff Reid
Sort of a hobby of mine, but if you're interested in what a game
you don't own actually looks like in action these should interest you.
Some of these are multi-view videos (like a cockpit view on top
and chase view on the bottom, in the case of GPL, Greg Stewart at Rouen).
The standards like GPL,...

RSC moderators - what is the purpose of the public warnings? by
Jeff Reid
What is the purpose of publicly attacing warning icons to all
posts made by a member? Is this not an attempt to punish, or
in other words, to cause some level of "harm" to the victim
of your public warning policy?
Why isn't this public warning policy included in the new member
agreement so the new...

RSC's warning system, racist? by
Jeff Reid
Note the colors they chose for their infractions.
Is this a form of racism?
yellow - minor offense - a reference to Asians?
red - major offence - a reference to North American and other Indians?
black - extreme offence and banned - a reference to Africans?
Why not use non-race associated...

rFactor video 1:08.5 lap at Toban GP by
Jeff Reid
Obviously with a forumla car. Stil slower than the AI's doing low
1:07's at 100% during qualify, but at least you can see the line.
It's a dual view video, top is live cockpit view, bottom is
chase from from exported replay (this is a nice feature, but

rFactor - fastest way within the game to earn cash by
Jeff Reid
Has anyone figured this out? Which factors affect the amount
of cash won during an event? Number of AI cars? Strength of
AI cars? Difficulty level? Number of laps? Length of track?
How long would take to earn 2.1 million within the game?
I'm not counting using the ISI_BABYFACTORY cheat code.

GPL - question for alexti or any GPL expert by
Jeff Reid
I occasionally do sessions with GPL, working on improving my
rank, 1% at a time per track. Trying to get sub 99% now (just below
negative). Current rank is -12, but a lot of that is due to an 8:15.32
at Nurburg (wanted to join the 500 second club so started up again
with GPL about a month...

Do any sims have realistic curbing? by
Jeff Reid
In all the racing simulations I own, the curbing alwasy seems to affect the cars
more than it does in real life, at least for F1 type cars.
Here's a sample video of David Coulthard in a 2002 F1 McLaren, at Spa, running
with a qualifying setup, and a sub 1:45 lap time. Not only does he clip...
