Luckily mine worked from the word go,it is rather good fun. The graphics are pretty good,love the cockpit view,workinsteering wheel,gear shifting, gear shift lights. It will be hard to master, in the options you have the option of having a clutch if you have 3 way pedal compliant steering wheel,ive never known a racing game have that!
Worth every penny...ironically free,hope they add more content.

Didn't get near my PC last night, will do it tonight and report back if it will/will not work on Vista 64. Sounds like a great game from those who have managed to get it working.

I got this downloaded and working last night.
Couple of answers to your questions. Vista 64bit - Works fine as that is what I am running but is a little Ram hungrey so make sure you have at least 2gb in that. Graphics - Surprising for a free game but the graphics of the cars are quite decent so if you are going to turn things up in the visual department, make sure you have a decent card. I am running a 4870 512 and I can run it on full at 1600x1280 for reference. Sound - Supports 5.1 surround which works well in a race. Cars - From memory, it has the s60 concept in standard and race form, the 850 BTCC car, the C30 in race form, S40 in race form, the current s60 in race form and the old style 240 Group A Touring car which is the most powerful funny enough. (I may of missed one or two though) If you are getting the source file is corrupt, trying clearing out your internet cache, restart your browser and save the file to a different location and file name. Should sort out your problem. If you are still having issues, I may see if I can upload the file to my site and allow you to download it from there (limited numbers due to bandwidth though)

I had a go at this yesterday on my girlfriend's Dad's PC running Vista 64bit.
Graphics aren't bad atall for what's a free game, and the sounds are alright too. Drove the 240 touring car without the driving aids and it's a little twitchy. Even get a 5 pot burble from the 850! Only thing I did notice is that the specs are wrong for the cars. Eg. the 850 is down as being an I4 and weighing 950kg, whereas the 242 Turbo is down as being an I5 weighing 1065kg (or something like that). |

Downloaded and installed no problem though the shortcut it says it will install doesn't appear on the desktop.
Graphics are very good (I ran mine maxed as described above on an HD3650) and 5.1 surround is great too. When loaded the game takes about 110MB RAM on Vista 64 total RAM at time of loading was 1.82Gb I've now got a very second hand looking S60 Concept car after a quick lap around the circuit. Need to get a wheel though, keyboard control is not the easiest.

Graphics are OK, wouldn't say they're exactly state of the art
The driving model seems very good though, I've only driven the 850 and S60 so far (look, I'm biased, went straight for the Volvos I've owned ) and you actually have to drive them like a FWD car - very unusual. Runs fine under Win 7 RC 32 bit BTW. Cheers, John |
