I love it, I absolutely suck at it, but I love it. This is a fantastic chance for those of you on the fence about buying it to give it a good few hours over the weekend to try it out. Personally, I've found it incredibly fun driving with the inside cockpit view, but it does make it really quite challenging with such a limited view.
To top it off, it's also a massive 70% off until the 15th. So you can try it free and pick it up super cheap, what's not to love? Sure it would be nice to support Feral at full price, but not everyone can afford to do so and sales are there for a reason.

25.7GB? :O
This will take a little while to download. I look forward to playing it though, and I'll probably pull the trigger on the purchase too now that it's within reasonable reach for me!

Me neither, nor anything else to play this game really. yet i still purchased it as a thank you towards Feral. Price is now very reasonable anyways.

Quoting: kibblesNot into racing games really but downloading it to give it a try. Who knows.If you want to get the most out of this game (because it has a more realistic simulation than dirt 3 or showdown) you need a steering wheel with force feedback, because it's designed to be played with one (you can play of course without it but it will be much harder to understand what is going on, I'm referring to tire-road physics, weight distribution and so on). Dirt 4, coming out next month I think (although I don't know if it will have linux support), will feature a selectable physics engine, with a simulator one for those who enjoy a realistic car handling and physics, and a simplified one (similar to the one in dirt 3/showdown) for more casual players.

Such a shame Thrustmaster & fanatec wheels don't work on Linux. They are generally better than the Logitech wheels imo.

And too expensive to buy one in the hope that I can reverse engineer a driver together.

phew, it is very hard. the port works flawlessly, all ultra settings on 8GB ram + GTX950, even MSAA 8x.
Sadly the vibrations or force-feedback do not work with the steam controller. I can't feel anything, no triggers or rumble emulation. anyway, my car usually barely makes it to the finish, with damage >80% lol

There pricey but if your going the sim route ( we really only have one sim racing game on Linux and it is Dirt Rally ) Then your best off having the option to buy hub's & wheels separatley and pedal choice.
For instance there is a good Thrustmaster wheel but the pedal set is not good. But you can buy the hub and wheel separatley for around the same cost and then upscale the peddles to the higher model, thus having a custom wheel setup.
BTW Ferral interactive already asked Thrustmaster and i don't think they got very far. The sim racing scene is something that is sorely undersupported on Linux and it's a growing community.
