Concidering ordering this from www.gogamer.com but read that SImbin's
network code is crappy in GTR, does this title share the same code? Or
am I mistaken about GTR?

Thanks

There is a 16 player max with the multi, but the reports so far have been
very positive.

I'm no expert here, but from my own experience with both GTR and GTL, GTL's
online is world's better.  Since getting GTL, I've been on a few servers
here and there, with multiple cars, and things have good pretty well.  Very
smooth.  The same could be said for rFactor.  But GTR wasn't very good.
Quite a bit of slowdown.

But please don't go on my word alone.  :)  That could be dangerous.  Still,
from my limited experience and from what I've heard, GTL's code is better,
much better.

Stick around and see what others have to say.

I was just on a German server with 16 players and it was pretty smooth.
During qualifying, however, I lost connection.  Apparently so did everyone
else and soon the server was gone from the list.  That probably was a
problem with the server.  Good connection, even from so far away.

I'm running a 1200 Baud modem, too.  :)

A lot of people said GTR was good too when it was released but it  
certainly wasn't so I'm extremely wary of GTL.  There's a lot more to  
multiplayer than just netcode.

I know it's early but the early returns are good, and I've had no problems
so far.  Truly, GTL is quite a ride.

Yeah, after all it might slaughter your family.
