It's out here in the UK now. Is it any good or just another 'Grand Touring'
farce?

It was in PC World in Swindon last weekend.

I ordered it from www.Gameplay.com but if I were you I would hold off and
see if they work on a patch because it needs some work. It seems it was
rushed out the door. There is no multiplayer, no replay, only 24 cars
instead of 48 promised. There is also some weird slowdowns on the long
straights that I don't understand. The handling is somewhat arcadish with
very, very minimal setup options. On the plus side the tracks look awesome
and I find the AI to be pretty fun to race with. There are also some just
incredible day-evening-night-dawn-day changes within the game that almost
make it worth having. Oh, and last but not least, no***pit view and no
rear view mirror.

no but I'm going to Le Mans to watch the race and it should be FANTASTIC (as
always).
