Skip forward to 6:30

I am definitely buying Forza 3, but what is SRT? (Sim Racing Tonight)... I have never heard of it?

wow, finally caught up to GT standards? gt had lemans from the beginning.spike6566

Saw this earlier...and damn was that intense!

I like the end when they were discussing the 911 Turbo wheel setup price... "We don't want it to be super expensive... just in the $10,000-$15,000 range..." I lol'ed...

I see the haters are out in full force, as usual.

Forza 3 is looking excellent, as usual! Can't wait to play it this October!

Wow, tyre physics ftw! lol quite impressive.

Ugh, Forza 3 cockpit view. There more impressed with Seat and Racing wheel than they are with the game. GT5 is going to smock this game if this is the best they are offering, especially in graphics. And woah NFS looked surprisingly good.Adrian_Cloud

Le Mans is one of the most prestigious events in the world, damage is just incidental.

GT has demonstrated that for years, and even though it now has damage it still isn't important for a racing sim.

The most important part of a racing sim for me was... racing. Lots of cars, lots of OFFICIAL tracks, loads of events and believe it or not... presentation.

The game looks great, but this game could never have had 16 cars on track. It allready had some struggles with the fps at certain areas. GT 5 will win in the end.

Does anyone know if this is coming to the PC or is it exclusive to 360? I got me the Logitech G25 used and the 6 speed shifter needs some calibrating (at least i hope that fix's my problem) but i need a racing game that supports my wheel.

Certainly looks good and enjoyable.

A couple of notes tho, damage is important for me, driving long races without failures or crashes is not really realistic, it happens but rarely, especially if you have 20+ cars on the track. There's quite a lot rubbing on race start and there some race-ending decisions are made almost every race. That said, I still think the game looks great, I'll buy it and probably love it on my console, however for serious racing I'll stick with my PC- all in all not a bad thing :).

Every racing sim on the PC supports your wheel from GT-R to rFactor.

I tried rFactor and that is when I noticed my shifter was messed up but i was not feeling the graphics how is GT-R?

Truthfully, I don't think there is a racing sim out on the PC that has the visuals of Forza 3 or GT, so you might be a little disappointed. That said, rFactor looks bad, but a lot of it depands on the mods, which make it look quite good, but still the engine is quite old.

Get GT-R Evolution demo (http://www.gtr-evolution.com/) and try it out. Looks and plays very good in my book.

xbox 360 needs a REAL wheel for this game.....something like g25.Leo-Magic

It has one. :)

Okay....first thing i noticed when he was driving on the straights....There weren't any bumps in the road. Unless they layed down new road in the past couple of months then, psshhhhh..why aren't there any bumps in the road and the car losing slight control when it hits...GT4 represented this perfectly.

Oh man....I'm gonna have to play Gran turismo again...Best memories. Still has the best original track of all time in my opinion. Trial Mountain. It's just perfect.

The Audi boys dont look very happy about the Peugeot success so far do they LOL That said, i dont even Peugeot themselves would have predicted the success they seem to be having over such a dominant Audi for the past few years.

I think that had to happen one day because Audi has been winning a lot of times in Le mans and someday that had to end.

In any case, it is good for peugeot because its like a home race for them.
