While this is a great start of a project, the developers need to get realistic and include some error handling. Most of the cars act somewhat realistically, except for the plethora of changes that have been made to their settings (mu at 2.6? wtf?) to work with the simulation engine. Creating a car or robot is an exercise in futility as there is very little documentation and the developers constantly refer back to the source. There is no user support, searchable forums, or active chat room associated with this game, as for some reason the developers constantly use a javachat and mailing lists. Open source development has changed, and these developers don't realize it yet. They need to become more open and realize that most of a fan base will not know C/C++, that most people expect useful error messages, and that users want to be able to communicate with other users through an easily searchable interface. It could be great, but the developers have shrouded themselves so far away that they can't communicate with the fans anymore. Wouldn't even bother downloading until the 2.0 release.

Really exciting new car sets, with so different handling feelings, and so realistic at the same time. Also really nice liveries. The LS1 monsters are a real challenge to master, as well as the old dangerous 36GPs. Great AI opponents too, at last difficult to overtake ! The new Corkscrew track is really fantastic. A great step ahead from Torcs !

Workes fine

Compare it with TORCS, it's more real, models and tracks with higher quality and better AI for opponents but it still needs more work on models and tracks, more graphics options such as motion blur and bugs that need to be fixed.
