I am waiting for this one,
Last weekend I ran a few races of the VHR stockcar mod because it was the daytona 500 and there were a few busy servers around on the sunday, It sure made me more hungry for ARCA.
Ive not pre-ordered like I usually do with games this time because I would really like to know how I will recieve the game, download or disk. As soon as it is released they will have my card details
I am also glad that the game is not open for modding, Do we really need another rFactor?

i was on the beta team, this sim will bring the stock car part of the sim community back together again as it really is an awesome piece of work.
i have pre ordered as well, i feel like the developers have done such a good job by taking their time in programming this simulator that they have more than earned their money.
oh yes here is what arca is. http://www.arcaracing.com/ it is a real stock car racing organization that is not nascar, but they do use former cup cars that used to race in nascar.
if you like stock car racing you will love this one.

You Bet!..... Ordered parts to build my windows machine last night. Im guessing Ill spend a few months getting up to speed. Im trying to figure out how I can hook more folks using the show to promote. I have two friends that are going to jump in with me and build systems. heres my question.... Can I just race my two buddies online or do We have to jump in and race in a rookie class?

i think surely you can just race with your buddies online by setting up your own tiny little private server (at least I know SimBin gives that option to it's tittles, so that is surely a standard option)

Ron best place for a real racers is to jump online and race in a leauge.. .. you will have more fun and it will bring the real to the game that much more.. racing with 5 guys is ok.. but racing with 40 is crazy.. i have been online racing for 8 years now .. all is does is get harder and harder... I think that is what makes it so fun.. The computer never gets better..

I said this because of the following terms of One Stop Mailing. The service that TSF has used. The following is a quote for international shipping (outside the US):

One Stop Mailing offers a complete network ensuring reliability, price control, timely delivery, and peace of mind. It’s simple, at One Stop Mailing we have the flexibility and infrastructure to make the right decision for you and your company by choosing the best option for your mail.
Two levels of service specific to your needs:
  • Priority - 2 to 8 day service worldwide
  • Standard - 5 to 14 days
I donīt know if they used Standard (which I believe) or Priority (which I donīt believe). Keep in Mind: These are Business Days, weekends and bank holiday not included!

Happy waiting :biggrin:

They should have put this game on Steam if you ask me. This way of distribution is so 1998 instead of 2008. I am not a happy panda if i have to wait for 2 or 3 weeks
