Might be for new subscriptions only.
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know RACE Injection can be had for $4 in this bundle:
http://www.bundlestars.com/
I'd say it's a good deal if you like the Simbin stuff.

I think your first link is incorrect...
Not a bad idea, the latency of motion rigs is what makes products like Simvibe more appealing to me, so the focus on reducing latency here is promising. But I think this product will have a limited appeal due to the practicality of strapping something to your head. Lots of sim enthusiasts will be investing in VR headsets in the next few years, I found the Rift alone to be uncomfortable enough, but perhaps they can integrate it nicely into the helmet design.
Racing cars aren't supposed to be comfortable, so this could be great for driver testing/training, but maybe too much for a home setup.
They also might run into problems getting it safety approved... for instance if that thing screwed up and gave your head a jolt in the wrong direction as you were tensing your muscles for some heavy braking, it could result in some nasty neck injuries.

That was my first thought as well. I'm not sure it's the best idea to put your head in harm's way from a product you got on Kickstarter. OK, it's no automatic balls shaver, but it does set off the same think-this-through alarm.
Nice. I was wondering where that was. They've had a lot of time to straighten things out. I'll be interested in seeing that change log.

Another GSC 2013 video from AdrianF1 - Mini Challenge race @ Salvador da Bahia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1q0i7idRJ5I
Having played GSC, rF2, Assetto Corsa, CARS and RRE back-to-back, I believe GSC 2013 is the best simulation I own. AC isn't too far behind though...

Physics
StockV8
- Minor inertia and tyre adjustments.
F-Reiza
- Reduced engine speed heating to correct engine overheating too quickly;
- Significant tyre adjustments to both soft and medium compounds, both in terms of handling (basically giving the tires more front bite) and wear / heating (about 0.5s in laptimes between the two, with the mediums lasting roughly 20% more). Inertia values also adjusted;
F-Classic
- Minor inertia and tyre adjustments;
- Added a qualifying tyre compound, good for a single Senna-style qualifying lap only, roughly 1.5s faster than the regular race tires but it needs to be properly managed. Push too hard on the outlap and it will be off before you finish the flying lap.

F-3
- Reduced engine speed heating to correct engine overheating too quickly;
- Minor inertia and tyre adjustments.
Camaro SS
- Minor inertia and tyre adjustments.
Mini
- Minor inertia and tyre adjustments.
Opala
- Minor inertia and tyre adjustments;
- Adjusted height and wheel graphical offsets to make the car´s height and attitude a little more accurate - does add some clipping of the front wheels to the fenders a high steer angles however. These don´t affect handling.

Sweet. Some nice changes. That Classic qually tire sounds like it'll be fun to play around with. Can't wait to retry the karts too.

Reiza Studio's YT video 'Rubens Barrichello - Sim Racer' : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LAzNN-ov1U - Don't forget to turn on captions to see the English subtitles!
Rubens Barichello talks sim racing
My Portuguese is somewhat rusty , so anyone know if there is a version with subtitles?
[turtle mode] thanks Travis , did not know the option existed on youtube

Jeezoice! Ha, love 'Binho. Good to see him to some official promo work for Reiza.
That's a bloody big rap as well... not just saying "it's a great sim" but getting in depth regarding *what* feels so great about it.
I wanna know how Reiza get it feeling so close without having driven any (or most?) of the real cars. The way their lead FFB guy made it sound, he just imagined how the cars should feel.
Still, great work on their part... you can feel the effort they've put into it.

Based on the Mini Challenge telemetry posted on VirtualR which shows the real car versus the GSC version practically mirroring each other, I'd say Reiza have honed their ways of making virtual cars mirror reality. I'm sure Reiza had several of the real GSC drivers confirm the physics were as close to reality as possible.

I finally tried the demo for rFactor 2 and something just feels off. I can't get the G25 to feel right... any help? I used some settings i found on google, but the wheel is still too loose and the car overly sensitive.
I wanted to like this game more, but so far is kind of weak. Also, what's the deal with it? When is it going to be released?

Indeed that was a great video. For those who've not clicked on the link, this is 'Talk & Drive Episode 7: Ninja Turbo F1 at Adelaide' with a car that sounds and rivers very similar to the GSC Formula Classic - with an extra dollop of HP.

As someone who is a few seconds away from ordering Fanatec pedals... what happened?
I think you mean, "Windows, go fuck yourself. Sincerely, Fanatec user."
You think Fanatec enjoys being in a situation where Windows changes their protocols?
I've just spent 5 hours trying to get everything to work. Nothing is being detected by Windows. I'm tired and ready to put everything in eBay.
DId you download the latest driver? http://eu.fanatec.com/index.php?route=support/faq/details&id=35 That should solve your problems.
Didn't work. Ebay it is.
I can't phone or email anyone from work. I'm using windows 8.1 because of that wonderful piece of shit: Battlefield 4. I'll give it one last try before boxing it up tonight.
Not that I can use in work. They are fairly anal about phones.

Any plans for a Assetto Corsa demo free? Or will there only be early access?

Why I love Reiza Studios and why the sim racing community should buy Game Stock Car 2013 to support a great indie dev team:
Source: http://www.racedepartment.com/forum...rs-more-tracks-more-features-coming-up.78419/
Over the next few months we plan to continue supporting GSC2013 with a constant flow of developments, including new cars, new tracks and new simulation features.
Without going into specific details just yet, this is what GSC2013 users can look foward to in the near future:
1- The updates will come in at a roughly regular pace - every month or so something new will be added to the sim, be it a new track, a new car, or a new feature, along with continuous improvements & eventual bug fixes;
2- All updates will be free - if you own GSC2013, the new content will be made available to you at no adittional charge. We are however looking into experimenting with more community interaction for those willing to participate and contribute with the funding of these developments;
3- As with the content currently available in the sim, there will be a mix of licensed and fictional content;
4- The main goal for these updates is to continue to enrich the simulation and the diversity of driving experiences available - no "more of the same", the new content will complement and enhance the existing stuff into an even more complete racing sim package;
5- The diversity is relative to our own content but also relative to other sims - these are not cars and tracks you are likely to find in every other racing game (they are not obscure either mind);
6- Also keeping to the "diversity" guideline, relative to base content the new content will be largely international (non-brazilian) - from past, present and future.
Stay tuned for more news in the near future, and feel free to discuss and give ideas as to what you would like to see in GSC2013 - we welcome the feedback

Yes they do but it's really like flogging a dead horse here..if only GSC was V8 Supercars! Reiza would be flushed with cash and we'd likely have the Senna sim by now (wishful thinking I know). Perhaps when another high profile touring car sim ships will people then realise GSC 2013 is a bargain for such an awesome tin-top racing simulation.
Did you buy the original GSC, GSC 2012 and/or Formula Truck? I did so perhaps it's for customers such as myself...either way you can get the 40% discount from buying from the Race Department store: http://www.racedepartment.com/forum/resources/game-stock-car-2013-formula-truck-2013-bundle.1303/Favouritism? I only got this...
It's not Best Bang For Buck if others are getting 40% off
GSC with V8 Supercars (and the official license and tracks), even with the same production quality (and by that I mean how it is now, compared to, say, the FM/GT series') would sell fucking bucketloads. Look how well that crappy Codies V8 Supercars game did a while back... all you need is the license and just slap that on top. Easy money (and visibility) for Reiza.
They need to get their gear together and release Senna though. That should make them a packet as well.
