Well i know the x-box version is bad, but the PC one was given an 80%+ score
in gamer, is it worth a look...?
Yes i do have the add-on for F1-2002, and i like the sports cars.

Any pointers would be cool, it looks like a love or hate game !

Well i popped down the newsagents, i found the demo on the cover of this
months PCgamer, its only on the DVD one as an extra as i belive it was a
feture on last months.

Well unless the demo is like an early version I`m not buying it, the cars
look ok, but it dosn`t run to fast even on my humble 1.4ghz with a Geforce
4600Ti, well its smooth but dosn`t give a good imprestion of speed.
Also the cars never seem to slip out of control, to easy.. also steering a
little vauge..?

Is the full blown version like this..

I bought TIR before I finished downloading GTR2002 - as soon as I had that
up and running TIR went straight back for a refund. GTR is what TIR
should/could have been.

Have to agree. Since GTR2002 was released TIR has seen ZERO seat time. GTR
is waaaaaayyyy more fun.

You can fix the vague steering, but I spent a solid week tuning the
physics of the cars and never came up with anything remotely
convincing.

I'm not worried about it.  Why would anyone worry about this?

It wasn't - it was made from scratch at razorworks.  There may have been a
few models used, but absolutely no code.

So do I..TIR is arcade/etc.. compared to GTR2002.
It seems like gamehouses does the engines and we do the rest...:))

I had GTR2002 for a couple of weeks and tried the demo of TIR...

Played it for 10 mins and uninstalled it (TIR).

I'm waiting for Pro Race Driver...
