RACE 07 - Radicals

Obviously there were some issues at the start. For weeks we have been running these RACE 07 fun-runs without this problem. A few races ago it began and we thought we had figured it out. Not the case of course, but we would like to continue running exhibition events (no stats, no rank) until RACE 07 is a bit more stable. Sorry for those guys that were unable to race or your race ended early.

No worries, I uninstalled Race07 after Lap 1 and I'm using it as coaster from now on.

Shame about the problems, obviously I made it through and had a good battle for third.

Sure in a league environment these cars will be great fun, but no one will want to run unless the issues are sorted.

What is the news from Simbin? Do we know what is going on?

First race, getting the game today, I can be pretty satisfied with the pace I had.

Got a good start, gaining a position and than followed Scott for some time. Got a few chances as he made a few mistakes but when I got ner, there was alot of warping... Dunno how it was before, but today it was horrible. ALOT of drivers DNFing as well...

Pretty good sim, just hope online things get sorted.

My first R2P race, thought i'd best go in a 'fun-run' to test the system.

Shame about the Race07 bugs, as it left only a few entries running at the end, which is a pity. I've raced Race07 online a number of times now, and it's not normally an issue.

Great battle for P3 though with Nick P, and Lamont for most of the race, good clean racing by all. Ending with myself & Nick within a few thousandths of a second at the flag, sadly for me, Nick just ahead!

I'm off to look for a Radical Championship, if there isn't, then there should be. ;-)

I had to leave before race was over but it fun trying to keep up with joco and steve who was way gone.

Hmmm... I'm having second thoughts about whether this sim was worth the money. Not only because I can't find a feel for the physics, or the way nothing in the game makes sense (the UI, the lack of visable FPS, the lack of any kind of car info (temps etc), etc), or the abnormally low FPS, but now its growing bugs of its own...

I hadn't driven the sim in a few weeks and put no practice into this event, just wanted to show up and get another look at what RACE 07 is like in an organised environment. Straight away I was quick and didn't bother adjusting the default setup other than the wing and brake bias, and put it on pole. Lead comfortably off the start (not sure by how much because the game wouldn't show me a gap, another bug), but it was obvious there were issues when I passed 2 stationary cars at the end of lap 1, then about 6-8 people left all at once. Joco was already out of my ridiculously low drawing distance at the end of lap 1 (thanks to the low FPS) and I wasn't being shown a gap to 2nd, so for all I knew I was the only one left! I carried on, then got a few seconds of really low FPS (thats been happening in a few games recently though) which meant I had to slow to a crawl while the game gathered itself, which put Joco under my wing. I quickly pulled away, only for the low FPS to strike again in the 2nd lesmo, so I went off and Joco got passed. He was warping quite badly, and as we got to parabolica he must have hit the brakes really early because I passed him before I knew about it! Anyway, from there I just hotlapped to the end to find only 4 people had finished...

Not a lot of fun tbh, but I'll give Simbin a chance to knock a few items off their growing 'to-fix' list before I uninstall...

I think it is a good game but the qwerks such as the lousy interface and this "new" bug are annoying. The bug is totally new to me as I have done 3 Race 07 fun runs in the past week or so and this is the first time I had heard about it and experienced it.

I was one of those stuck on the grid today. I was planning on just starting from the back because I had a feeling T1 would be a disaster so once it counted down to zero, it started counting back up and I knew right then and there, something was wrong. I exited soon after that but I heard that the cars were still on the track and caused some issues when the field came back around. Luckily this was just a fun run...

This doesn't seem like a problem SimBin can't fix. While they are at it, they can fix the UI from its micro-managing state...

Well this was my 1st R2P race, and quite frankly I was rubbish....

I managed to select the wrong car (although at the time I had no idea which was the RIGHT car), and was a good 2.5 seconds off the fastest time anyway.

Made a good start, and managed to pass the completely stationary cars on the grid (although I did hit one on the next lap!) I was pretty annoyed that people would just park there, however I have just read that it's a bug - so no blame. I was in 6th and a lap down when the phone went making me jump, which caused me to crash...

The game does seem a bit odd sometimes, but hey, it's a piss around game for me rather than a serious sim.
