Either the first or the second if it was up to me. The first shows the nice battle I had with this guy that I eventually over took at the end of the straight by braking just a fraction later than he did. The result is shot #3 Cool

The second shows the same moment as the first but from a different angle, which shows the other 14 cars in competition Wink

It looks good, however it will lose it's appeal very quickly if thats the only track. It's a very easy, boring and rather unimaginitive track sadly.

Unfortunately, it is the only track...However, it's fun when your playing Multiplayer with people from around the world...It's fun when you smack the guy who's first head on...LOL...Great fun Cheesy

Gonna sound like a spoilsport, but no it's not.
I cant tell you how many times I've been winning a race online in F1ce on PS3, only for some dumbass to ruin by ramming me out of the race going backwards, or stopping on the track.

given it a quick go, had to play it with keyboard as I cant be bothered to setup my gamepad. Not too bad, but as the keyboard is limited, I could only manage a 2:28 and gave up after 3 laps. The handlings okay, I noticed a lot of simmilarities between my beemer and the one in the game. Dont like the brakes, they are far far too front biased and it makes the car understeer way to much.
Will give it a proper go tomorrow with the gamepad, should hopefully sort out a few kinks and drop the times a fair bit.

Well I downloaded the BMW M3 Challenge. Have a couple of questions. I'm new to auto racing. Where is the help section to learn had to use the program? Where is the keyboard menu so you can learn the key functions and print them out? I got the game working by trial and error somehow, but I still really don't know where I'm at. I had a he-l of a time just trying to exit the game. Help!!!!!!!! Grin

Also, to really enjoy the game I guess it would be smart to get a racing wheel. I was driving with my joystick, But that takes some getting used to. It just don't feel right. Grin
