Yeah this one has excellant replay value and good graphics for me. The sound wasn't an issue with me. My problem was in the physics during the hairpins. Slowing down to a crawl (yuck) or you'll be spinning circles in the grass. Also at the start of the race why does the car slid left? Too much gas ? I played with most options and enjoyed normal mode best and found hard mode impossible to finish above 6th. I believe a qualifing setting is available but, I took random positions and enjoyed just racing. The trick really is to avoid running in the grass and the other cars because it seems that something major happens after the second minor/major hit. When braking the physics get silly; you can make corners slowing down moderately and make quick taps on the handbrake or taking the outside lane of the curve. What I miss are big steep banks and several S turns. But these cars implode at the sight of a tailight so manuver quickly to the front of the pack.Then play it again adding more laps. The pit stop was dull looking and somewhat confusing to read quickly. Driving the vintage cars seemed ho hum. But driving the demo cars was great.. I wish there were upgrades to compete in the hard mode. Overall a couple of flaws but still fun .
