rFactor just got another boost...

Forget about any useful F1 sims being released for a couple of years:

"UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - May 9, 2008 - Codemasters®, developer and
publisher of award-winning racing video games, has secured the
exclusive video game rights to FORMULA 1. In a worldwide licensing
agreement with Formula One Administration Limited, Codemasters will
develop a new generation of the multi-million selling FORMULA 1 game
franchise across multiple platforms."

At least they are honest about their products:

"As a world-leading creator of driving games, this alliance with FORMULA 1 is
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
the jewel in Codemasters' racing crown and creates an undisputed segment champion."

rF modders, you're sim racer's last hope.

Yea, will most likely be crap. Wonder why Sony gave up the license
anyway? Their PS3 F1 game/sim is supposedly decent and even though I
own a PS3 I refuse to buy racing games that are designed around a
gamepad.
