Have a look here 4aged,

Not to bad, the Mazda is one of the best cars in teh game as well, although I am perhaps biased being a open wheel fan.

@ Chris, aparently they wanted to have the holden as well, but Holden just wanted far too much for teh rights which is a shame.

Thats pretty stink about Holden rights given the publicity/exposure to other markets they would get out of it.

$10 is not bad to get a taste.

Yeah its worth having a blast for a month if you like sim racing. Ultimately wether you continue on with it is if you find it value for money or not, it is pretty expensive and not everyone finds it money well spent, but is really a case of each to there own. I love it for teh fact that all year round I can race single seaters in competitive races and awesome tracks.

Well you can now do that as you can host your own races on any track/car without the need for licenses etc, although it does cost $3.
