As always, the detail on the cars is simply amazing. C.A.R.S looks great and could be a great rival to SimBin’s racing games. C.A.R.S is based on a new development model, so it will be interesting to see whether or not this ‘community-based’ development is worth the effort."

In addition, team member Scorzilla made an impressive video trailer that lets viewers experience almost three minutes of racing action in Project C.A.R.S., showing sports cars, touring cars, open wheelers and plenty of historic racing machinery battling it out on track. It undoubtedly looks awesome so make sure to give it a go."
I've been playing the pre-alphas and it's very good, don't worry though cos its coming to Ps3 and 360 too...
iv got ps3 and gt5, and the wheel, and these car game videos always make me wanna bust it out and play on it. but i just packed it away as im playing other games. i wish i had a room with a awesome pc and rig aswell as wheels and seat for racing games. woudl be awesome
I used to have the same problem as you but I'm guessing I'm quite a bit older than you and I'm now lucky enough to have a racing rig set up in another room so I don't get disturbed by my fiancée lol! Sim racing is a hobby that can consume a lot of money in comparison to just playing regular games on a console but for me it's worth it :)
Yeap, it's currently into pre-alpha stage and it's development is mainly affected by its community (the ones that pay to play)
Just looking at the new "Darth Vaderesque" Audi R18 sends frightening shivers up me back!

So when the former 'Stiq' and race driver, Ben Collins, is saying that C.A.R.S is as good as real-life simulators, you really know that Slightly Mad Studios little gem is something unique indeed. In addition, Ben Collins has also joined Slightly Mad Studios and their WMD-powered C.A.R.S. project last month and has compared the developing title to professional driving simulators."
These guys also worked on realistic sims known as GT-R, which puts GT5 to shame in terms of being a true sim. GT5 is a great console game though.
Don't be fooled by NFS Shift, it was backed (and held back) by EA funding and demands.
PC is really only where you can put the most realistic sims out on, check out iRacing, you can race against actual NASCAR and F1 drivers for cash.
C.A.R.S. looks to be the revolutionary. Can't Wait.
You don't know what your missing, triple screen true racing FOV, community made and rated cars and courses, the largest selection of wheels, C.A.R.S. looks to have state of the art graphics (full DX11 engine), something PC sims have lacked until now.
Did you think people played with a keyboard?
I once tried GT-R with a Logitech wheel and pedals setup. Scared the hell out of me. I wasn't really interested in racing around a track since I'm more of a rally fan so I lost interest after that.
Seeing that they are really using the power of the PC to the fullest this time, might as well give C.A.R.S. a try. Not to mention of course the lack of true sim quality rally games out there. Colin Mcrae's Dirt series are fun and all but you can't escape the feeling that there's something missing.
@Somebody: I'd kill for a sequel to Richard Burns Rally. Sadly, noone seems interesting in developing a worthy successor. Seriously though, this is epicness -> http://www.youtube.com/watc...
I wish this and canyon came to the ps3. I would like another sim other then GT, and another create, play, share, with cars instead of modnation. I like real cars, modnation was fun but I'm old enough to prefer real cars.
