Pure Arcade ...

All drive-feeling from GPL lost ...

This is a truly a very poor sim .

I disagree.

It ain't GPL... sheesh.

Hey Knudse, since its 'arcade' and has no sim qualities like the ones
in GPL, you should have no problem in the TOCA2 hot lap competition
at: http://blitzsports.com/racing/TOCA2/

Let us know your results.

Thanks.

And:

I see you've missed some of what's going on in TOCA2.

Some of the problem _is_ comparing it to GPL, the best driving sim extant.  In
case the car specs slipped by unread these are 300 horse front-drive sedans
running slicks.  No such thing as throttle lift to settle the front end...
unless you want to settle in the armco!  The driving model does a fairly good
job of simulating (again) front drive so you're gonna have to drive a Renault
Laguna a little differently than a bit of BRM ironmongery.  No, it's not a
deadnuts accurate simulation of a real car, why would you think PC games can
give you that?  All car rotation seems centered around the drivers seat, hardly
something new in PC sims.  The racing's the thing about TOCA2!  Using your
opponent as a carom to get around a corner is the norm in BTCC, something
rather foolish in GPL.  Delete away friend if you don't want to put in the
effort to find the meat of TOCA2.
