| Which sim is better and why? I love indy and havent seen GP2 yet. | Indy's engine sounds are lame. How does GP sound? If you love F1, then obviously yu want GP2 (and perhaps F1 by Psygnosis for Playstation, which is amazing). If you love indycar, you buy ICR2. But if you just lvoe racing sims, you buy ALL of those, and then wait a few weeks and buy NASCAR2 also. They're all pretty incredible sims at what they try to do.

The physical model of ICR2 seems to be better then again, I never drove an indycar. Graphically, GP2 is superior. The model is good for the hard core driver. The physical is good enough for the hard core driving sim fans. (You gotta love the car bouncing all over the place:) ). If you ask me, get both... It should keep you busy until ICR3 or Gp3 (if they ever do them):)

I think this has been debated here before, but didn't Hill say that, when he was nearly rammed by Berger in Suzuka, that this was the first time he had heard the sounds of another's engine (that year ?). I don't drive an F1 car regularly so I can't say... but think that although it is realistic to have the other car's engines muted, it would've been better to have some sounds from the other cars. Especially when you're in Eurosport :) replay mode. Vroom! JMT []_.-' (Q_,._ Confucius say: `(*)[27]___(*)Z> Man running after cars will soon get exhausted.
