Pretty funny game...

hey this looks nice, thank you abbor, nice find. lets check it out. :fadein:

racer... pretty old game with great graphyx but I HATE the driving. Cars handles like shit and sound is awful, but on the other hand where will you get absolutely free game of that quality 8)
Worth a try for sure

EDIT: it is already newer version so bugs could be fixed already
thanx for link :wink:

Thanx. I like it. :D

I've had this game for ages, in fact i was quite active on the RSC Racer forums, untili just got pissed off with the glitches in the game. There are massess of add-on d/l cars to choose from though, and the graphics are very nice, plus you can d/l the nurburgring track to drive around. Here are some screenies i took:

The Latest version of racer is absolutely gorgeous. In fact at
times when your racing with a well done car and track such as
maybe "Swiss-Stroll" by Tobias Greuter with the "Honda S2000"
by Tobias Greuter & Patrick Wassmer it can almost look photo
realistic at a glance. And as for the handling of the cars, you
have to realize that it's not an arcade game like NFS, it's a sim. :)
I have been using racer for about 2 or so years know and I don't know
of any other game other than perhaps Racing Legends that is
any better as far as realism goes.

Swiss Stroll is stunning, but unless you have a Jabba spec system then all you can expect is a slide-show

gotta give it a try :P thanx for info

This is pretty cool for a free game- theres a lot of novelty value at being able to create and drive all the latest cars.

I thought some of the physics were bit dodgy tho....

Ok...here's a bit of a challenge...I realize this isn't the best game on the market (especially since it's not even for sale), but I have it and have been running the Nurburgring Nordschleife with a BMW V12 LMR completely unmodified (you can modify settings fairly easily if you know what to look for in the code).

The real-life outright lap record is held by Stefan Bellof in a Porsche 956 at 6min 11seconds...I've gotten to 6:17.152 so far...and this should be a significantly slower vehicle than a 956...see if you can match it :-D

Hehehe, ok! Im pretty bad at this game, not sure im going to make it all the way round, but its worth a try!

Do you have any Colin Mcrae 4 (PC) times you want to compare? That would be cool.


Oooo... the car is not available for download at the moment.. any chance you could send it to me?

I think you cannot compare free game with professional game as CM

:lol: :lol:

My best so far is over 8 minutes! Its tricky controlling the cars with a keyboard, because the throttle is either fully on or fully off!

Sounds interesting! Am downloading it rightaway..
Anyway Vansquish, Where can I find Laptimes on Nurburgring Nordschleife?
I know the one you gave was in a Group C Porsche, but I'd like to have laptimes of Stock Production Cars on the Nurb..

Damned good question...and the only thing I can think of is to do a google search for them. I found a whole pile of websites with a plethora of different kinds of laptimes, so I'm sure you can find them if you take a gander.
