also all the tracks and cars are laser scanned.. if you dont know what that means have a look on youtube and you will understand..
basically what it means is that all the tracks are mm (as in milimetre) perfect, down to slight holes etc, very impressive!

possibly because people immediatly thing its just NASCAR as thats what the americans like, but there is an equal Road Racing side to it aswell. + you have to subscribe and pay out every month (£9) and then if you want extra tracks its $15-$25 per track and $12 per car..but because you sit in the same car for 1-2 months and using the same tracks you dont really feel how much its costing lol
when you start out you get 3 months for £9 atm and all the cars and tracks you can use as a rookie are free. if you get a years subscription its as low as £5 a month and 2 years its £3.50 a month! you always get free updates etc and its all done automatically etc, so everyone always has the same version etc.
deffinatly worth a try tbh if you like hardcore sim racing.. just dont forget to add my email addy to your refering member email sections.
if you stick at it you can also win cash prizes aswell, i think some guy won $5000 worth of equipment i think he won a top notch PC with wheel, playseat, speakers etc etc etc.
Search Gregor Huttu, he got the oppertunity to drive a real Star Mazda at road atlanta i think it was all for free!

becareful just downloading tracks because ive just had a quick look through some of the seasons and not many run it as part of the line up.. at rookie level you cant race anything but lime rock and laguna seca (online with others, you can do practise or test sessions as much as you want)
There are 4 - 5 seasons running brands and they are all Class D (+4.0SR) and above.
what cars have you downloaded?

go find out what m/b you have and make sure it can support SLi, if not you can still have them both for £50 and just use the 1 for now. Its PCI-E

your graphics card is 5 years old and AGP so my cars wont work im afraid.
your cpu is just shit and 1gb ram is a bit, slow.
time to upgrade paul.. you should be able to get a decent system that will run it decently for a couple hundred.. i mean your graphics cards are sorted you just need a PCI-E SLi motherboard and a decent CPU, ram is dead cheap.
