A must read for us racing sim fans... http://autosimsport.net/

Mostly covers PC sims but is especially useful for us with Intel Macs who can run these via bootcamp. There was an excellent illustrated article on Virtual Grand Prix 3, written by someone who tested it and VGP3 will be available for both Mac and PC. You can still get the 2007 issue containing this article here:

Look for Volume 3, Issue 7.

I was going to report this one as spam, but it actually seems informative and genuine. Too bad I don't care for race sims.


Unless they make a "moped racing sim". But then again I can still play Vice City.

I'm glad you checked the site before reporting.

The article on Virtual Grand Prix 3 was great and gave a real feeling that it has been developed with more attention to detail than other sims. I am hoping to buy it as soon as it is released. Jaguar Gods' HD update for Virtual Grand Prix 2 have been fantastic and show that an enthusiastic community could keep the game up to date and relevant for several years. My only worry is that with the game stated to be PowerPC only rather than universal it could suffer. I'm on PowerPC myself still at present but likely to move to Intel within the next year and with Snow Leopard more or less confirmed as Intel only I imagine there will be little demand for PowerPC only.

I believe VGP3 will be UB in the future. And yes, the VGP3 article was very nicely done.
