After the few things I have seen or read elsewhere I'm almost to afraid
to ask, but here goes.
What's the go with this ?sim? I hear it's buggy, pathetic physics,
terrible online and doesn't seem to even have a cockpit view. I have always
had my doubts about the whole project because of the RPG element. Most
companies can't make a decent sim to start with without this extra element
to integrate. All replies welcome. Sorry if I missed the initial ranting (if
it was even worth ranting about) since I haven't been around for a while.
Seeing not even 1 post about it here in the last few days was a bad sign to
start with! :)

its a *CONSOLE* game with fantastic graphics, nothing
more nothing less, - it plays great with an analogue joypad
and is most fun this way - but try a wheel with it and you'll
see its not meant to be - its no more a sim than roadrash..
I wouldn't call it a sim, but it is a really fun arcade racer with excellent
track and car choices. And it does have a cockpit view. I like it on the
Xbox but I have not bothered to get the PC version.

A very accurate description!
Use an analog gamepad and you'll find that it's an ok sim to drive, even
then it can be a bit nervous to steer but try with your standard PC wheel
and forget it!
Total CRAP!

It seems OK as an arcade racer, fine for after the pub.
I cant even install the PC version - the installer cant find the files on
the CD. The CD is Ok though.
Weird. Tech support gave me the crappest advice ever, run XP in 640*480 in
256 colours.
As if.
If anyone can help me......

Oh, and I concur with the other posters, it's not a sim, but I drove it
for a week or so with the keyboard and it has it's moments, some great
cars and some great tracks, gfx are good and physics model "believable"
rather than accurate, if more than a little flattering to the driver :-)

I know that this might sound strange, but I had a similar problem with this
game.
I solved it by installing the latest Video card drivers.
I went to all the trouble of getting it going, took it for a few laps,
turned the graphics as far towards fast as I could, took it for a few more
laps and gave it the Shift Delete.
It is pathetic with the wheel.
I agree with most of what has been said here about it.
