GPL had a rendition of Brainerd, called Donneybrook. It was okay. Turn one wasn't banked and the runoff at T2 and T3 was way too big. The grip level was pretty accurate. I don't think anyone will take the time to convert it to rFactor but some day maybe I'll learn how to build tracks and make it.

Dude you don't know how bad this slippery slope can be. One good thing is it's a lot less expensive. The consumables are non-existant. Let me warn you, if you do the online racing with a league it is one of the most addictive things this side of crack. Probably a little less additive than really heading out to the track but a close second.
With international servers, you can do a pick up race with anyone in the world. I remember starting one night about 8PM doing some pickup races. The birds started chirping when I got done. My wife was at the top of the stairs asking "did you stay up all night?? You are in so much trouble"
I still think we need to start up a Trackpedia league

Umm, I dunno about the PS3, but Forza and Gotham 3 on the Xbox/Xbox360 support 8 players (on Live). I would hope the PS3 could match that.

Sounds like a badass car around BIR, what was it? It certainly goes around turns fast

BIR is accurate from the video game except for T7/T8. Those are to far apart in the game compared to real life.
I am sold...I get cash and Rfactor it it.
