Editorial Reviews:

RACE 07 - The Official WTCC Game features the full FIA WTCC season of 2007 including all cars and tracks, as well as several new support classes and tracks from all over the world. The game also features the full WTCC season of 2006 which was included in the game’s predecessor RACE â€" The WTCC Game, released in 2006 on the PC. For the first time ever SimBin is also presenting single seated action with Formula cars. Race with the incredibly fast Formula 3000, Formula BMW and also the Radical sports car models SR3 and SR4.

To support these new race classes the player will be offered the choice between one- or two-race-format. The highly detailed damage system is also adapted to give the Formula cars the vulnerability they have in real life.

All-in-all RACE 07 features more than 300 cars in 9 different classes on 32 real life racing tracks and city circuits from all over the world.

Summary: Worth the money if its cheap
Comment:
Graphics - Very clear useable graphics, good replays, not as super enhanced as codemasters grid, but, good enough to make this a very enjoyable racer. Of the same standard as GTR2.

Sound - Excellent, this is one of the best parts of the game, uber realistic and adjustable. Excellent.

Gameplay - I have found this to be a very enjoyable racer with few problems. I have mostly raced it off line and have found the A.I. to be very challenging and quite sensible most of the time. They make mistakes and drive defensivley but do have the tendancy to punt you off if they are on a flying lap and are going quicker than you.
The overall driving experience is very good. If you like simulations, this should be a must buy, but if you prefer arcade racers which are unlife like and require no driving skill, then stay well away. I feel its fair to say that if you have no concept as to how a real car works then you will hate this game and find it extremley difficult, however, if you want a game where the changes to your set up are instantly noticeable and effect your overall performance, then you will love this game.
I use a logitech G25 wheel and pdal combo and the force feed back in this game is better than in any I have played. It has plenty of feedback settings and gives your shoulders a real work out on the more aggressive settings. With this particular wheel you will feel exactly what the car is doing, how it feels with other wheels I cannot say.
Some of the front wheel drive cars can feel a bit vague comapred to the other cars but they still feel very good.

Summary - A very good racing simulation, not quite as good as GTR2 or GT Legends, but, worth buying cheap.

Summary: More Sophisticated Driving Experience Than rFactor
Comment: A more sophisticated driving experience than rFactor but not as flexible.
I prefer rFactor for online racing and mod's, but it's not a patch on the full blown simulation in Race 07.

In summary...
If you like driving games, get both.

If you like online driving and are prepared to put in some quality time finding a good set of online racers and not wreckers, get rFactor.

If you prefer the single player approach and a little more attention to detail then get Race 07 (don't get me wrong, Race 07 is fine online, but the community appears bigger with rFactor, i.e more racers than wreckers).

Summary: What's there is brilliant...
Comment: It's just there isn't much of it.
Yes, you go through the season and yes you can drive the caterham pack now, but it's very limited really. The cars are limited and even though this game is brilliant to drive with a steering wheel (I use a Saitek R440), it makes more sense to buy rFactor if you want a driving game...
