Yesterday I bought SCGT - basically I am a GPL guy, anyhow, and still I am.
But the SCGT seems to be a really nice sim! I was kind of surprised.
The feel is good, and I guess it is the ABS, why I can stay quite well on
the tracks... :)
The idea - quite similiar to that of Viper Racing - of earning money
by winning lower series, bying better parts and better cars(!) seems
to work, too.
Already in my first "career" in GTQ I could achieve GT3, but instead
of buying a better car I updated my GTQ car. And the result was that
I was very bad in GT3 career... Back to GTQ to earn more money for
a good GT3 car. But anyhow I could get more cars and tracks to
"quickrace"... and there are lots more to achieve when I qualify to
GT2...
I could win 2 of the 3 races, and I had won also the 3rd, if my screen
saver hadn't decided to turn the screen off... A crash, and I lost
several positions after the limbing recovery... Perhaps my success
can be explained by GPL experience?
Then I started a new GTQ season. I decided to set the number of opponents
little higher, and to my great astonishment one of the AI racers in
my next season was called "Alison Hine"!! Our GPL ***e! I became quite
nervous..., you know the feeling... In qualifying I could anyhow get the
pole. "AI-Alison" was third. In the race I won! And Alison was only 7th.
Perhaps SCGT is not so realistic in this detail... ;)
I just wonder if AH knows that her (famous!) name appears in SCGT...
Anyhow, a good sim! A leisure in between GPL races!
One question: Are all the tracks of SCGT real ones? My knowledge of
U.S. tracks is very limited! The three GTQ tracks are called:
Chatham, Sardian Park, and North Point. Are they real? They feel they
could be real. It is a pity (only for an European! :-) that you must
start SCGT in all American(?) tracks...
