Well I've just downloaded ICR2 and I have to say I'm pretty disappointed with it. It looks just like the first one with slightly better graphics. It looks like they just took the original ICR game and converted it to use the Nascar engine.
It doesn't look like they've improved on the Nascar engine very much either. The graphics aren't that good (especially compared to F1GP II). To be honest I haven't had a good play at it yet, but I'm not saying it's crap. I really like the original ICR so because it hasn't changed that much I will probably grow to like. It's just that I was expecting something more radical.
As I said before I havent really played it yet but I hope that the AI has improved immensley even though the graphics havent.

Well,
in my opinion the AI hasn't improved or papyrus has forgotten the mirrors on
the computercars. When you try to overtake a computer he forces you right into
the grass. I looks like they all are Schumachers; simply close the door when
someone is overtaking you!
I think Indycar2 isn't more than just an update of Indycar, something like
indycar 1.5.
I really look forward to F1GP2, a game which really is worth buying.

ICR II rules! It's a long story that you will know when you done a great
deal of laps.
Practice is the only way. And the AI has been vastly improved!
Btw use the 'Return' key after each sentence...

Suck ***knuckle! Give this man Donkey Kong!
Well, who the hell knows what F1GP 2 will be like, it may turn out
to be a game or maybe it comes with as many setup options as do ICR II,
then you will have to play F1GP for another couple of years. You deserve it!

Well, I don't know if it's configurable in the demo without the 'icr2edit'
program posted earlier, but the game features something called 'spin
recovery' that gives your car the same ability. Spin out, and when you've
come to a complete stop, you magically spin facing the direction you should
be going. So while it's not realistic for the computer-controlled cars, at
least it's fair, because you can do it, too!
