I think this game was due out today, and I was wondering if anyone has tried
it. If so, is it a good racing game, and what are its good and bad points.
How's the physics model, and are the graphics improved over the PC and
Dreamcast versions ?

It's a definate improvement over the PC version in the "Fun Factor"
department.
It's not a serious sim, but I still play it for hours at a time while i'm on
my GPL holiday & waiting for GT3.

I believe the U.S. versoin has been delayed until the 31st.  There are
some posts regarding the Euro version at the general driving games forum

Actually, they've made quite a few improvements.

What makes this version so likeable is the addition of new features. Le
Mans 24 Hours, no longer grouped with the Test Drive franchise, features
a small gold mine of extras unique to the PlayStation 2 version. These
goodies include updated car rosters, new cars and tracks, including Road
Atlanta from the US Le Mans racing series, and fully animated pit crews

Let us know how it went, we're planning a similar race (once they can coax
me to use anything but a PC, GPL and a wheel - hehe.)
