    First of all you have made my day with the announcment of F1 licence to Codemasters.There has not been a good F1 sim since MicroProse GP4.Ive been a gamer for over 25yrs and have played every racing sim worth having.Also on the same day of finding out you are also bringing out an indy car sim “you are really spoiling us”.Ive downloaded GRID and its very good and will be buying it on realease.To say it uses the same engine as DIRT,the performance FPS is is hell of a lot better in GRID,i run it at 1680 by 1050 8 times AA all graphic settings on high and it runs effortlesly unlike DIRT.The only negative about GRID is the OTT bloom effect which cannot be turned down or off.Thanks and keep up the great work.MY SYSTEM AMD x2 4200,mem 2 gig ddr2,DUAL CHANNEL,GRAPHICS NVIDIA GEFORCE 8800 GTS 320MEG
