Yeah, the GTR***pit is unbe***inglievable.  

It's weird how dead simracing has been, and there are now 3 great sims
coming out within the next 6-9 months (GTR, RBR, OWRS).

  You thought it was easy?

 Compared to Colin McRae 2... no, it wasn't easy.

  I love the game, the tracks were great (I like them the best of any rally
game I have played)... maybe I will put some serious time into it.  It's
tough though.

  I agree.  Put in an "arcade" multiplayer mode or whatever like Rally
Trophy hade.  That was fun.  Otherwise, I don't see much point to
multiplayer in a rally game.

>  You thought it was easy?

Yes.  Really I thought it was downright silly overall, I mean, 2
minute stages, damage that didn't do anything, and a tire model that
practically made it impossible to push the car  past the limit of
adhesion without doing it intentionally.  It was fun for a bit and
certainly better than any of the Colin Mc***games but it wasn't the
"GPL of rally sims" as all the pre-release hype indicated.

   I've never driven it...but according to some of the users here, the BETA
was indeed of GPL quality...but somewhere between beta and final release,
it got dumbed down...pity...
