Best Car Racing Game/Sim out... This game offers fun for all from Arcade racers to hardcore Sim racers.
This game is not just for folks who like Real Simulators... cause I'm not into Actual Sim Racing for Actual Timed Races. This game GTR2 has it all.
You can run a default setup, disable damage, and set AI's all the way down to Clean Driving at 80%.... get in the race and have a blast. You can skip practice, qualifying or not. You can tweak every aspect of a car or not! You can just set you gas tank/mileage and number of pit stops depending on how many laps you want to run. Oh yeah... you can set laps from 2 to 999 as well.
The graphics are fantastic... but you will need a monster system to run it in high/Full graphics. You can check your FPS in the game (ctrl-F) and tweak your video setup to maintain 30+FPS with almost any 3d graphic carded system.
Sound is great as well... each car from an American Mosler MT900R to the Porsche RSR each style car has their own unique sound and rumble.
Now for what I think is the best part... Add-Ons! I've already D/L tracks like Barber Motorsports Park in B'ham AL. Laguna Seca, Watkins Glenn and many other National and world wide favorite tracks. Additional cars and tracks not to mention any upgrade/mod you want at sites like www.nogripracing.com I'm not a great review writer... but if you like racing games... on the track great sounds and can get a FFB wheel w/pedals... this is a awesome racing great fun game. It also has a training session which will eventually get you though each track.
Check this one out.. it will be the best 20 bucks you've ever spent for a PC game.
Hope this helps folks on the bubble of should I or should I not. This and GT Legends are a great buy at Amazon. The GT Legends lets you run the old great and GTR2 let's you run the newest GT speedsters.

BTW... the game may not be a Perfect 10.0 for erveyone... but far from a 4.5
