    SMS uses the rFactor/ISI physics engine, but their graphical engine is of their own design. The headlight effects have nothing to do w/ what ISI bits are in the core of the Shift franchise.

    Does this mean as individuals we can't host races for a few friends to get together and have some fun? If so, that's a major letdown.

    Stroker: What`s the problem? Just host the server on the same PC that you run your game.

    I apparently misunderstood that part of their Q/A. I thought that meant we would no longer be able to host races at all. Thanks for clearing that up.

    How do you recognize this as Mills? There is no such chicane on the rF1 version.

    Lime Rock, R.I.P. Another track ruined because of wings and compound tires. :( They spend millions to make the cars faster and then spend more hundreds of millions on the tracks to slow them back down. What stupidity.

    It could be Mills:
    After the Hairpin and quick chicane you veer left and come to a short right then left onto the long back straight. It could be there with an added section (on the left in the shot) which comes from that quick chicane straight onto the main back straight.
    I have seen and read that Mills is getting an overhaul including (I believe) the Pits moving to that back straight.


    I await Scott to tell me I'm wrong :D

    Its definitely Mills. Look at the latest tire model video, the green-white and yellow curbs and green-white tirewalls look exactly the same.
    Lime Rock curbs are plain white and tirewalls are black.

    thanks guys :) I was hoping it was Lime Rock, that chicane looks really similar to the West Bend.

    as I said above Mills is getting an overhaul so its *probably* been re-modelled off what I was talking about above, hence this chicane is'nt in the original Mills GP circuit.
