Delightful graphics....the high-rez displays are very nice. Good sounds, except
the back-firing on overrun is somewhat weak. The physics are very
"wooden".....there is no sense of deceleration when lifting off the loud pedal:
the car doesn't slow down significantly through engine braking and, when using
the brakes, there is no dip to the nose. When entering a corner a bit too fast
there is no sensation of a car being on the verge of instability.....the tyres
don't squeal until the car is actually in mid-spin.
The slow-down effect of the gravel traps is good, however! :-)
It wouldn't need much to polish off a few rough edges with the physics in order
to make it a viable addition to a "Touring Car Championship" collection.
