It's pretty and fun and has absolutely *no* physics realism whatsoever.
Not to be too harsh, but ...  :)

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and
degraded state of m***and patriotic feeling which thinks that
nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for
which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than
his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance
of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men
than himself. - John Stuart Mill (1806-1873)

This is the game to be called "Pro Race Driver" (a RPG sim) over here.

At least it LOOKS nice.

Tracks - very very inaccurate
Sound - bad
Menus - very Bad
Controller Setup - very very bad
Physics - no existant. And I mean that.

this isnt aimed at the GT3 market, or the F355 market - it's aimed at people
who like, I dunno - who the hell IS is aimed at. It's an RPG ( and so very
VERY cringeworthy at that - think Mafia meets Toca 2, less the physics )

The ps2 version had a code that you could enter which gave it fairly
decent physics, although the graphics are pretty poor in the ps2 version
compared to GT3 and the like. The pc version if it has the same code
tweak, combined with alot nicer graphics and hopefully more cars on the
track in a race, could be a decent buy. I will reserve judgement for the
retail version.

This does not bode well. Graphics setting and test go well, but crash to
desktop when going to track (I assume, after setting gearbox and hitting
continue).

Athlon XP2000+, 512Mb RAM, Win98se, DX8.1, GF3 Ti200 (v29.42 drivers).

Oh well, I'm overdue downloading the GTR2002 v1.2 update anyway.
