Awesome, looks like a fun top down racer, bring on a Toyspeed work time race series, boss coming into the office and having shut the window down counts as a mechanical failure!

Another cool F1 game is this:

Forgive my ignorance, but what are typical specs needed for a PC that is used for online gaming?

I would love to get into an F1 league, but doubt I am l33t enough.

For the game above, you wont need much. For a proper sim like iRacing, rFactor, LFS etc, you'll need a reasonable machine, but LFS and Rfactor are older games, so probably be okay with a few year old PC.

Although locally, not many leagues race F1 cars, as TBH, they are just too fast and dont make for good racing, espeically when you take into account pings and lag. Slower single seaters like F3's GP cars make for much better racing.

If you have money to burn, look at iRacing, expensive but pretty awesome, and my pick. Able to race any league you want against the rest of the world.

Otherwise rFactor has good Kiwi leagues and race a variety of cars/series.

Another one is Live for speed which has a small Kiwi league that runs on usually Tuesday and Thursday, pretty laid back and good fun.

For the Codemasters one, I'm lead to believe, if you can get online you can play. I'm sure there will be some sort of minimum connection speed, but i'm sure most will cope with that.
