The layout seems as accurate as anything we've had in a sim. Just
from a few laps and getting an initial impression it seems to have a
similar level of detail and track layout accuracy as the GP4 and
GTR-demo versions, which are both very nice. I'd give it a big thumbs
up, much better than the F1c-inspired Magny Cours they released
several months ago.

Another reason to get the latest (2.4) ver of the TPTCC nod: a nighttime ver
of Sebring...complete w. headlight FX! They look remarkably like the real
thing...only I can't find the switch for the high beams!

The weight and horsepower are reduced...that is the biggest change and
Tim limited some of the setup options. So a SLOW Trans Am car...:)

Yeah, the limited setup options is pants...altho I do love being able to
dial in more than 1.8 deg. of neg. camber at the back.

I might have give the new TPTCC a chance. The last version I drove felt
like driving a bar of soap around a jelly bowl =)
I feel the same way about SPA too.

The Pants part really screwed up my head :)

When a Brit says something is 'the pants,' that is just a slang term.
We Yanks might say...it sucks. Just know that pants is bad.
Next...you might have heard of Tim McArthur's endurance league. One of
his notions is to have mixed class racing. So he's gotten a hacked exe
of Nr2k3 that changes some of the physics of the cars...lighter
weight...less horsepower and a few other odd bits. So the advantage with
that concept is the fast GT type cars in the tptcc mod can race online,
side by side with these slower lighter cars. KINDA like Porche 911's
sharing the track with Audi R8's.
