I believe it's called Driver's View and you can map it to whichever button you prefer.

Found it under "Primary Functions". Thanks for the help though 👍

Now where do I find replays?
 
If you find the main menu > media hub...

Thanks 👍 Found it and immediately got comfortable with the buttons.

Will be doing some much better laps now that I got the view I want, though I'm gonna keep by hotlapping action strictly at Portimao since it is the only track I sort of know (mostly thanks to Grid 2 and Grid Autosport).
 
More audio porn!

Sector3's Anthony Monteil might not have super expensive hardware (yet), but he more than compensates with huge talent in what he does and his passion for racing!

Day #2 at the new office, and without any light yet, Anthony is already back at it and working on the sounds for the upcoming cars! (recorded with a mobile phone so please excuse the quality)

I got email last night from Raceroom titled "Compete to become a real race driver!". Attempted the Roller Corvette time trial today, don't know if I'm eligible or not as I don't know German to be able to read T&C. Amazing how fast the times are at the top, don't think I really have much of a chance on winning anyway. I wonder how they are getting such fast times, I know I've been less than a tenth off current leader in some other event but seem way off on this event. Link to leaderboard

this text from R3E facebook page might explain it:

"RaceRoom - Fanatec competition update:
A previously unknown bug found in the cut track rules at Portimao has been brought to our attention. Some players chose to exploit this bug and shortcut a portion of course layout, resulting in unrealistic times being recorded on the leaderboard. This exploit has now been patched.
We will relaunch the Fanatec competition with the updated cut rules and a new leaderboard, using the original competition terms and prize list"

I heard about that when I was going to attempt the Fanatec but the event wasn't there. If something like this happens again, I imagine it will be pulled but so far everything seems legit so I think I need to work and find some magic settings to find more than a second in lap time.

What's up with Simbin games not available on Steam? Seems RACE 07, GTR2 and R3E are all off the Steam Store. I've searched Raceroom (Turns up Raceroom Entertainment AG), GTR and RACE and only the demo's appear. Quick google search revealed that Simbin will (Or, already has) shut down.

Good morning... Simbin is no longer... Now its Sector3... That was July 2014...

And yes there are some Steam Shop problems but nothing to worry about.
Well, geuss I'm caught up now, it's not for me, I own all of Simbin's games, it's for a freind who wants RACE 07, got steam today and he can't buy it. Only demo's show up
 
Gave this another shot, hooked up my DS4, and decided to try some competitions. That JUDD SL65 is insane, especially on the hillclimb, I was barely on the accelerator as I feared for my life about going off. I was very slow in it

How do I see my replays?
 
Go to the main menu (big circle looking thing with one tab for R3E, one tab for DTM, one tab for ADAC) and there should be a tab for "media hub" (or something like that) and I believe your replays live in there.
Found them. Got a friend to get raceroom and we challenged eachother on the SL65 comp. He was using a wheel while I used a DS4 and it was his first time with his wheel and the game. He got a first time with of 6:30 I think. I got a 4:45. On his second attempt he got a 4:30
 
Recently upgraded my GPU to a GTX 970 and cranked up all the graphics settings in R3E. Haven't played this game for a long time and previously before they updated their FFB and physics, use to felt like I was driving in ice rink. But now, the driving feel is much better still not as good as AC but let's say in between GT6 & AC.

Big improvements on various aspect of the game as well which I'm not bothered to list here. Very enjoyable game and I can't wait they release Macau track and WTCC 2014 or WTCC2015.

Kudos to Sector 3.
 
Can't wait for the CTS-V and Sonoma to be realeased. Hopefully its in the near, near, future.

That corvette above is pretty sweet also.

I suggest you go and have a look through the wheel settings thread on RaceDepartment. FFB is very tweakable in R3E and the default is far too damped, but you can change that relatively easily. Vertical load and lateral force are the two key ones to alter to mix in more of the road surface and car weight transfer.
