UK Race tracks??

[_TC]

Hello all gamers, i am after a driving game that has the UK well known tracks on so i can learn them a bit before my Caterham Academy next year.
Can anyone recomend a game or two please?

Look at rFactor, you can not only download for free all the UK tracks you will be racing on (except perhaps Pembrey, as it hasn't been finished yet) but also the Caterham racing cars to drive on them.

Loads of links on here about it. But here's a quick link to the Caterhams.

Loads of tracks linked on that site too.

I think the TOCA series for the playstation had most UK tracks on it?

Thanks Guys. I will have a look out for TOCA and download rfactor right now.
Cheers chums

For rfactor do i need a joystick or some other input device or is the keyboard enough?

To make the most of it a Force Feedback wheel..

If you have you downloaded v1.150 you put in the code you will get by email.

Then download the v1.250 update to have the latest version from here - http://www.rfactor.net/index.php?page=downloads

Have you bought rFactor because the add-on mods and tracks do not work with just the demo.

If you have and you have a downloaded RAR or Zip file you have to extract it, there is probably a readme.txt file in the download.

ep, i have paid for the full version and thats all downloaded. i havent been able to add any mods so far and am thinking this is a wsate of money.
The only readme files say that im not to mod this download with out asking first.
Damn computers!!
off to bed now i think.

Thanks Four wheel...

It says on rFactorcentral "The start folder of the archive is "rfactor", so if your install is "c:/games/rfactor" you need to extract to "c:/games"..

So if you have installed rFactor to c:/program files/rfactor you point the archive extraction to c:/Program Files/

Thanks Darren, i had done that. i just dont know where to look for the caterham once im in the game. all i get is the bloody BMW F1 car and some silly stock cars. It would be nice if a help guide came with this.

Off to bed.
Nite all.

9 buttons to do all the necessary with a game, it's staggeringly more simple and quicker than any other. Have you not checked them out yourself?
