High Gear - The Latest News on the Newest Racing Sims

P.s. Take a look at our special forums, MGI and EAI are paying attention to
the Viper Racing and Trans-Am Racing forums...

And by following the links, you can find a demo to Touring Cars.  But for the
***, it isn't worth it.  You drive the one car (Celica, I think) in a
very arcadish checkpoint race.  You can choose analog control, but not with
pedals (at least I couldn't).  While you can choose manual shifting, it didn't
work for me and I had to automatic my way thru the 3-lap race.  In which my
lowly 137 mph Saloon beats the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, etc.
While it looks nice, reminiscent of the PSX's Gran Turismo, but with
lots of camera angles, everything *in the demo at least* is completely
arcadish.  Oh, the full screen view is, I believe camera 9.  No***pit.  It's
sort of fun.  But don't get your hopes too high.
