Be interesting to see reviewers compare this and F1 in terms of handling and physics.

I'm still in the stone ages, I run on XP-64 I have like 75 games on the Hard Drive and don't feel like reinstalling them, chances are I won't... I have Windows 7 on my other machine, but never did install Shift on it.

Of course it works on 7, mate. Shift was released in 2009, so have no doubts. Even Porsche Unleashed works in 7 no problems. Wink

I don't think that it will have "complete" multiplayer, but only a hot-lap mode and a ranking showing the times of the players:

(from the official site)
Quote:

Ferrari Virtual Academy offers you an exclusive opportunity: using your PC you can have fun and practice driving the F10, comparing for the first time your performance with the fastest laps driven by numerous Ferrari fans from all over the world and the Scuderia Ferrari drivers with the same simulators. Learn about Felipe Massa's, Fernando Alonso's and Giancarlo Fisichella's secrets regarding racing line and driving techniques! But there is more: participating in the tournament you will become part of a worldwide competition, where every week the fastest drivers will be awarded official Ferrari products.

If, at the end of the Trofeo, you are part of the five fastest drivers, you will win a trip into the heart of Ferrari: to Maranello. You will walk through the gates in Fiorano and participate in the exclusive Ferrari Driver Academy course, personally headed by exceptional tutors from the Scuderia.

How it works

When you are using the simulator in the "hot lap" mode your position in the classification and your gap to the fastest lap time is shown in real-time. Thus you can verify if your performance is close to the leaders. You can drive the Ferrari F10 using the same set ups created by the race engineers and used by the Scuderia drivers to reach the reference lap times included in the simulator. Thanks to a spectacular cinematic replay function you can then watch your best performances and the laps driven by Massa, Alonso and Fisichella. After every lap you will be informed about your position in the overall standings and when you manage to get the F10 to its limit you will see that even a tenth of a second will move you up in the standings by several positions.

The Scuderia Ferrari is about to challenge you: the race tracks of Fiorano, Mugello and Nürburgring, reproduced in every single detail, are the chosen venues, where the F10, an accurate replica of the real single-seater, will be driven to its limit. The simulator has been planned to guarantee the best possible conditions so that all virtual drivers can give it their all. There is only one referee: the stopwatch!

Any idea what the protection will be? Or will it just use username and pass, and the lap times will be linked to username?
