Most definitively. Much better.
Assuming you want everything maxed out at least.
That is a DRM car.
This is a DTM car: 1988 Sierra RS500 Cosworth (Group A)
Probably wasn't paying attention to my typing again, heh. DRM is what I meant, I've been driving them in rF recently and love it.
I have an AMD X6, 8GB DDR3, and a single 5950; I can run everything at max, full frame rate. Doesn't look as good as some of the photos because I'm not tweaking anything, but it looks incredible and plays excellent.
Mine's a Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3 GHz, 4 GB DDR2 800 MHz and a Radeon 6850. Not that bad, but I can't play Shift 2 maxed out. =(
It seems that I'm ok with the VGA and RAM, but the CPU seems to be a bottleneck. Thanks!
I've taken my first try at this week's event and wow, it's crowded!
It's been my first time running in Sakitto GP and with the Jaguar Palmer. I like this combo quite a lot. I'm 11 seconds away from WR, though :lol As you may guess. there're plenty of places where I can save time.
By the time this event ends, I hope to be under six seconds off the WR.

I have an E8400 @ 3,8ghz in my other pc, I'll try it out on that when I can (4gigs DDR2 and a 560 Ti) to see how it runs and report back on it. I've played it on this before but honestly can't remember at all how it ran since the majority of the time I've been playing this on my high end pc.
In case some people are curious, we did a few 1080p 60fps videos of the game. We plan for this to be an ongoing feature as the game evolved

Gamersyde put few pCARS videos in their traditional high quality, 1080p/60fps WMV and MP4.

I keep improving at the event. Down to 1:58.765
I'm 8 seconds away from WR. I'm not sure I can go under 1:57. I know where I can save more time: there're three points that can be done much better. But I'm not sure making those well will save me two seconds.
I see markao has set a time. What about the rest of you?

Were you driving with a keyboard? The steering in those videos looks hideous and all that steering jerk almost paints the game in a bad light.
I don't know if you already saw the video from Joni in the hotlap thread, might give you an idea were you can gain some time. I also attached my set-up, that I used for my hotlap, might be of use (if to loose, just add some wing). It was just good enough for a low 53 & top 10, lets see if I can manage to stay there, although not to much time to have another go in this E3 week

And my set-up:
Thanks. I will give it a go. No wonder Joni is faster than me: he's racing on a higher gear than I do all the time. :lolI don't know if you already saw the video from Joni in the hotlap thread, might give you an idea were you can gain some time.

Hopefully not making some unfounded claim but we might be getting an export of notMonaco in tomorrows build as well as another Oval.

Madness. Did you even max everything? Model and IQ wise it's better then GT5. I still think GT5 has some stuff that looks better, can't quite put my finger on what it is though.

GT5 has better lighting and material shaders.
No, but I did max most things. I'll check tonight. I definitely agree that the models are more detailed, IQ as well of course.
And yeah, that was my thought as well.
GT5 doesn't have better lighting. Material shaders, probably yes.
I think it depends what/where. Some of the tracks and cars look great as the sun is going down, w/ reflections and all, whereas others can look a bit janky.
GT5, obviously, has been polished but there are still limitations to the PS3 that Project CARS has already surpassed. (Just get into driver perspective in the Zonda and take a few laps at California)
Agreed. Project Cars is still far from finished as well.
I agree some combos look better, but the thing is that the lighting is better, no matter the circuit. Lighting is not circuit dependant.
Patch 229 is up. 101mb

Ah, Remove Azure Circuit for now until loft improvements are more progressed. Never mind. There's far more quality content and racing in Pcars than I ever thought there would be when I joined

Not yet,
being worked on (and is has been for a while) and being included in the "user build" are two different things.
Unless I missed stuff again
Here is a vid from the latest build - must admit not had time to practice lately, but hopefully I can now!

So I've just ordered myself a pretty beastly gaming PC and this game has caught my attention but I have a couple of questions:
1. How newbie friendly is this game? The Gran Turismo games were always too hardcore for me and I never got far in them but I've enjoyed the Forza games. I want a racing game that won't leave me with 80% of the content inaccessible because I don't have the skills or the patience to unlock it.
2. Can the game be enjoyed with a 360 controller? I don't want to get a racing wheel but will this severely hamstring me?
3. What's the baseline PC specs to run this game at max settings on a 1080p screen?
Cheers.

1. I would say : Walk away, good sir! You can put on a lot of driving assistants/helps so...
2. ...the controller works, but it is a Simulation. More so than Gran Turismo. I enjoyed it with a game pad, but always felt it isn't the right think, cause without aids it is nearly uncontrollable in my opinion (with the controller).
3. okay can´t answer this, but a newly configured PC should have no problems, given a good GPU/CPU
Classic Team Lotus is licensed with 10 cars:
I would've liked to see one of the formulas changed to one of the sports cars like Type 23, but still a nice collection of some important historic racers. The current Leonus' will be updated to the real cars (49,78 and 98T).
2. Definitely, but the controls for pads are still being worked on so it's not quite on the same level as say Forza, but they're aiming to be the benchmark and I've already enjoyed countles of hours with a X360 pad.
3.It's still so Work-in-Progress so it's hard to say and depends on conditions, but GTX670/680 should be able to run the game easily (full grid of 64 cars might bring any machine down atm though). I play the all high with 8XMSAA with a 5850/i920 with smooth framerates.

1. The Career mode will be extensive and hopefully not too short, but I don't expect the game have anywhere near as much grinding as GT so I doubt that I'll be a problem. With assists I'd expect it to be as friendly as Forza if not more accesible.

Agree, it is great to see more and more older "classics" in all PC sims!
Shame that the physics tick-rate update causes issues for some people and they (for now) had to revert it, because for me it felt a lot better

Very nice. A pretty good mix - one sports car, a couple Indy cars. Hopefully they'll bring some more as DLC or whatever.
Let's qoute myself, as I just read that Steve fixed the issue with the "slomo mode" and the physics internal tick will go back (stays at) to 600 hz for Fridays build.Agree, it is great to see more and more older "classics" in all PC sims!

And I hope will will see the Formula Rookie car in Friday's build as well, as I like those more than the high downforce ones.

I would have preferred to see only modern cars like the Elise and 2-Eleven.
yea the new build is out early! There is an alternative exe file as well that has physics updates set at 360 for those of you that are having problems with the 600 hz update rate. Here's some shots of the new formula rookie car also.

I'll be honest. That looks like it's shitting on pretty much any other racing game from a great height.In case some people are curious, we did a few 1080p 60fps videos of the game. We plan for this to be an ongoing feature as the game evolved

Yea it looks better than any other racing game for sure but the ffb imo is not up to rfactor 2 or game stock car standards. This is not surprising though as they still have to add the new tire model and tweak the ffb. The game is still a long ways away from release and i'm sure it will continue to improve. The update rate has definitely helped with the handling. I can place the cars very precisely now and hit the apex much easier. Overall it just feels a lot smoother too.
