SimBin finally released RACE a few days ago, a simulated racing game for the PC. While the primary race series is based on the WTCC, it has exactly what we've been waiting for - a MINI Challenge support series mode:

"RACE" by SimBin || The official WTCC game

This should be a great way for MINI enthusiasts to sim-race against each other over the internet. Has anyone tried this game yet? How realistic are the MINI Cooper S physics?

At the moment looks like the only way we can get the game here in the states is to download it from Steam.

I was actually just about to buy the game, since the demo is quite good fun... then I found out that the Simbin people apparently didnt really do their homework on the MINIs... the cars look great, just like the ones in the german MINI challenge, but they are fully adjustable, just like the wtcc cars, which is completely unlike the real MINI challenge...
And apparently the Simbin people seem to think that a Cooper S only has 5 gears...

I can absolutely live with small mistakes if the game is fun, but thats just too much

I'm probably going to buy the game anyway. Might be some way to "fix" the "errors".

Well eventually I´m probably going to buy it as well, since I really love the WTCC, and that part seems to be really well done...
and hopefully Simbin will eventually fix the MINI challenge with a patch of some sort...
