Voted yes.
Its ISI based so I hope the same skinning/mod ability as the other ISI based games. But I will try a demo/test version first. If its indeed that good, its ordering time.

Bram Hengeveld · Feb 18, 2008

I am not sure if it has the same modability as rFactor. Does anyone know?

Movies and Screenshots

Post your ARCA movies here (please use the youtube embed tags if possible)

Unfortunately, no, Arca is not going to be as mod friendly as rFactor. Our league was looking at running Arca, but were informed that it is almost completely locked down. Only thing moddable is the car paint jobs. Tracks cannot be added, or enhanced. Neither can cars, hdv's, or anything else 8-(

James Johnson · Feb 19, 2008

Tracks can be added but they must be approved by the developers (to prevent many of same tracks cropping up leading to mismatches and they need to be of a good quallity) and the tracks that have been approved will be added by patches.

I am waiting for this one,
Last weekend I ran a few races of the VHR stockcar mod because it was the daytona 500 and there were a few busy servers around on the sunday, It sure made me more hungry for ARCA.
Ive not pre-ordered like I usually do with games this time because I would really like to know how I will recieve the game, download or disk. As soon as it is released they will have my card details

I am also glad that the game is not open for modding, Do we really need another rFactor?

James Johnson · Feb 19, 2008

lol Rfactor 2 is coming soon :laughing:

Doug D · Feb 19, 2008

Pre ordered it within min's of opening of pre orders.
Cant wait, really looking forward to this one.

i was on the beta team, this sim will bring the stock car part of the sim community back together again as it really is an awesome piece of work.
i have pre ordered as well, i feel like the developers have done such a good job by taking their time in programming this simulator that they have more than earned their money.
oh yes here is what arca is. http://www.arcaracing.com/ it is a real stock car racing organization that is not nascar, but they do use former cup cars that used to race in nascar.
if you like stock car racing you will love this one.:wink:

Have my order in also. DL'd the templates and painted my car.
Circle racing is where its at. Also run n2003 Superspeedway COT's along with Rfactor NROS COT's.
Racing, it's all about the community family and having fun.

88_terry_gofforth · Feb 20, 2008

Ordered my copy. Been to a few circuit tracks in Germany, not really impressed with how much racing I could see. Will stick to road courses on TV. Been to many Circle tracks and could see full track at 99.9% of the time. Being only 5 foot almost nothing, thats important to me LOL. Both roadies and ovals are a blast to run on sim programs. thumbs up to all.

Currently running:
Rfactor NROS COT
n2003 Superspeedway COT

Having fun with everything else

Bram Hengeveld · Feb 20, 2008

A terry i think you made your point about the COT mod now

Mark A Warmington · Feb 20, 2008

Love oval racing...

Bram Hengeveld said:
Anybody going to purchase this sim? I will be buying it the day it will be released. Looking forward to some good old oval action.

Ordered it on pre-order as soon as it was possible to do so
