Has anybody amongst you noticed that there are quite a few unrealistic
effects in the TOCA game (I know, it's not a sim) For example the spin
behaviour of the cars is often very unrealistic. A friend of mine who races
touring cars (albeit small ones, Renault Clio and the likes) has played the
TOCA game on my machine a few times and was amazed of the sometimes opposite
to real reaction of the cars to corrective steering etc. Especially the
transition between grass and tarmac is terrible. Then there is the question
of how it is possible the the cars slow down so dramatically when they get
on the grass. In real life, if the driver keeps his foot down, the slowdown
will be very little, and the car will be much more controllable.
Besides those remarks it is a very fun game to play, throwing around
touringcars, great graphics, and great sounds, especially with "in the
***pit" view. i'll keep playing it I think.
