This is a far cry better news than Sony making everyone buy $400 playstations in order to play; F1. I like Codemasters.. don't get me wrong. But, I really wish SimBin GTR/GTR2 would have won the liscense .. The GTR series physics and experience is TO DIE FOR! Check out this 3x screen featruing GTR2.
The GRID demo came out yesterday. The cars handle exactly like the ones in DIRT, despite you know...being on pavement. I'm going to wait and see about this.
From what I've read, I think you're all right...
I have a 3 type of games..
F1 2002 and F1 Challenbe by EA
also have Toca 2 and Toca 3 (by codemasters)
and also SimBim's GTR...
I think it's safe to say that we're all glad that a new F1 Sim game is way over due!!!!
My impressions are that the Toca Race Drivers are really fun to drive, altought may be a tadd unrealistic....too arcady.....(not to say that the new F1 game will be)
As far as Sims....I think SimBin's GTR is unreal.. Grat graphics, great sound and overall fantatistic sim racing...
I'm surprised I haven't worn out my F1C disk yet..It still gets a lot of use. However the graphics are tired and the sounds are a little weak....
All that being said, I'll be the first in line to get this new game by Codemasters!
i was going to finaly give in and get a PS3 - now i dont know that i should - but do i wanne wait a year to see what this is going to be like? well at least we can hope for the best and years more of F1 games to play!

If you want F1C with better graphics and sound, just get Rfactor.
I have in the past tried the different RH 200@ versions. I have heard of R-Factor but havent' tried it.
I"m also limited because of my PC's age... only have a 1.7 GHZ processor with a 128 mB vid card.

If you can play F1C on high details and have at least 512mb ram,you should be able to play Rfactor on low details which is still 100 times nicer looking than F1C. You can download the demo and try it for free, it comes with the 07 F1 BMW's. If thats playable than mods like CTDP 2005 low res pack and MMG f1 07 will play even better. Its made by the same group as F1C, ISI ,so its basically the same physics engine. Also 256MB vid cards are less than 100$.

Well, if GRID is any indication, the game will look spectacular.
I also have bought some of Codemasters previous racing games and found them lacking and not much "sim"
SimBin has Race Pro coming out for XBox360 soon. It's not an F1 game but if its anything like Race07 its the one we will all be playing. I have Race07 for my comp but you have to play early in the day because its mostly Europeans who play it online. Hellacious racing with those guys. A lot of fun. Hopefully with the 360 version it will bring all the North American players out.
I won't give Codemasters any of my money if they plan on using the same engine as they used on their previous games. A simple port to 360 and F1 skins wont do for me.
SimBin is the way to go. I'll be hijacking my nephews 360 when this comes out.

Wow...Race Pro looks fantastic.
Seeing this thread got me started looking again, and I came across a discussion which led me to Codemasters' discussion pages where they're asking for input from F1 fans. They say they aren't making the game in the arcade format, and they want input on the sport and the season at one group of threads: http://community.codemasters.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=1013. In another group of threads they're looking for your "wish list" of things you want to see in the game: http://community.codemasters.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=1014.
Let them know what you think! I know I will...
Also, while I was there, I came across an off-road game in development, due out next year, called Fuel. Looks unbelievably good.
