Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit - Seacrest County Environments

Criterion Games have released a trailer showing off the types of challenges you will encounter whilst driving around Seacrest county in very fast cars. The fictional town of Seacrest is perfect for street racers, which is why the police have been forced to step up their game. Regardless of the side you choose, though, you'll always have beautiful environments around you.

rFactor 2 - Video Spa-Francorchamps

Tim Wheatley from Image Space Incorporated has released a new WIP video of the rFactor 2. The video shows 2 laps on the historical Spa-Francorchamps race track.

Tim Wheatley says: "This is WIP. This historic track is in development. We want those of you who are historic racing fans (or fans of the movie "Grand Prix" I guess) to see it as soon as possible - so here it is. I used the front bumper cam so that you can see similarities from old footage like that in the movie. You will see draw and animation issues in this video that do not represent the drawing and animation qualities of the release version of rFactor 2. Also: No audio - stop trying to turn up the volume."

rFactor 2 will bring various improvements to the simulation such as weather, driver animations and better graphics.
