It's just arrived on the shelves here in South Africa. Is it worth getting,
have sim and 'arcady' mode settings, run without problems, FUN?

If you thought the official demo was OK you should get it.

Great sim, get it. Many of the F1C tracks are converted, also the famous
Nuerburgring Nordschleife.

It has three levels:
Arcade (with, I think, 4 or 5 Sublevels)
Semi Simulation
Simulation

Has 3 levels (most of the effort has gone into the ***; I haven't
bothered w. the others and neither should you - otherwise get Gran Turismo
4).

Huge fun!  Drives more like a real car (mass, suspension, tires, road feel)
than any other sim.

Big multiplayer probs, mostly league stuff (pickup races are fine).
Fabulous hot-lapping, decent AI; deep, satisfying immersion.

Still confused?  Wait for Forza.

Isn't flightless the same guy who said GTP wasn't worth the effort with
GTR being around? ;)

Can anybody verify if it works on win98 SE?

Totally agree.

ISI engined sims can take a bit of tweaking to get right with your wheel.
Invest the time with the demo.

I've long failed miserably with ISI based sims. Finally got it working well
with the GTR demo and rushed out to buy the game.

Now I am hooked :)

Cheers

Forget it. I believed what they put on the box in the German version
("98SE recommended", haha), and was genuinely bitten in the proverbial
arse by the marketing blurb. Esp. the online part was worthless with
earlier patches, but I doubt they've put any money or effort into
improving the 98SE support.

Meanwhile I've stuffed about 500 Eus worth of hardware in the box and
"upgraded" to winxp pro SP2 (company license). Was it worth it? Every
cent ;-)

All the best,

uwe

First Tony tells us he likes GTR, now Uwe runs XP....  Whats next?  Maybe
Racing Legends or (sry Jack) GPal will be released after all ;)
