One of the best racing simiulators is the one that Glen Seton [Peter Jackson] Racing had which they then sold to DJR who i think sold it to SBR ad I think now belongs to FPR.
You sat in it and went for a couple of laps around Bathurst – it moved up down and pivoted it even shook so you felt it accelerate every turn bump and braking application.

That may be However they don’t play rounds of the FA Cup or Premier league in Australia – but we still get Computer games where people can pretend they are playing for Manchester United or even in the world cup.

We only have one internation al major Tennis and Golf event in Oz yet we can become part of the World Tour on our PC or Playstation.. same applies to WRC or F[arcical]-1

My Point is most Football Soccer fans tend to follow like watching Soccer from all over the world..just like most Motorsport like to watch all Forms of Motorsport from all over the world – particularly at the elite inter/national level

So Just because the V8s are unique to Australia doesn’t mean that a V8 Supercar game wouldn’t appeal to Motorsport Fans from overseas as well

The Australian games market is but a drop in the ocean, they wouldn’t do that. But I can see where you are coming from.

Yeah – but it would be good if you had the option of racing one of the current V8 supercars or [say for example]: Peter Brocks HDT Marlboro VK Commodore; Dick Johnsons Greens-Tuf Falcon or even Allan Moffatt’s Coca-Cola Mustang Kevin Bartletts Camaro or even Jim Richards JPS BMW 635CSi Coupe?

i think they should make a full game dedicated to the aussie v8 supercars and have everything from all the old legendary v8s thru to the current cars and all the past and present tracks ESPECIALLY bathurst because without a shodow of any doubts BATHUST is the number 1 track in the whole v8 supercar business

you say the realism and physics are better but how can you say that when you havent actually driven a race car or any car for that fact you guys are so slow and stupid you just play games to make up for you lack of skill in your actual life. GROW UP

I think it’s awesome they have included the V8 super”cars” for forza. I put “cars” in quotes as they used the general term V8 supercars – meaning the competition – to say they are including the cars themselves.
I was fooled when I saw the title into thinking that they were including the australian V8 racing championship, only to find out that they have included the cars so you can race them on international soil – WHERE’S THE AUSTRALIAN TRACKS!!!
You may attract some attention by saying this, but I dare say many people will be disappointed to find out they can only race their favourite V8 supercar overseas…

As for the fanboy arguments going…. Lets just say I love GT, always have. And I’m keenly looking forward to the release of GT5. But both games appeal to a slightly different market. Lets just see how GT5 and FM3 compare when they have actually been released and we have had the opportunity to place both!

Personally, I cant wait for Forza 3, it looks great. The interiors look fantasic as do the graphics. Forza 2 was thoroughly entertaining and I can only imagine that FM3 will supercede it’s predecessor. And a little side note, rather than comparing it with other games, why not enjoy the game for what it is?
