- A sim racer drives a real F1 car at Anderstorp 2001-08-16 · 66 postsSven described an F1 driving experience at Anderstorp in Sweden, a birthday gift from his wife, with photos from the cockpit and details of throttle control, braking points and reaching about 300 km/h. Readers asked detailed questions and compared the real track with STCC2's version, finding it close apart from some banking.
- EA's V8 Challenge and its STCC2 heritage 2002-04-15 · 51 postsPosters discussed EA's upcoming Australian V8 Challenge, whose release date kept slipping, and whether its online play would be good. Several explained that it was developed by the Swedish Touring Car Championship 2 team at Digital Illusions and reused STCC2 code and even some Swedish tracks, which raised hopes of solid multiplayer. The thread drifted into nostalgia for Bathurst and Australian touring car racing.
- Opinions of Swedish Touring Car Championship 2 2001-04-08 · 22 postsA user asked about STCC2. Most praised it as the best touring car sim, with excellent lag-free multiplayer but few online players, and some who initially disliked the handling changed their minds after trying community setups. Availability was limited outside Europe.
- Is Swedish Touring Car Championship 2 better than TOCA 2? 2000-11-12 · 21 postsUsers compared the STCC2 demo with TOCA 2, praising its close racing but criticising force feedback, cockpit gauges, weak damage and easy AI. A dispute arose between a TOCA 2 online racer and a poster who called TOCA 2 unrealistic but would not give lap times. Others claimed STCC2 had non-removable driving aids to equalise wheel and keyboard users.
- Birthday gift of driving a real F1 car in Sweden 2001-03-25 · 20 postsSven announced his wife had given him a trip to drive a 1997 Arrows F1 car at Anderstorp for his 40th birthday and asked which sim had the track. Others congratulated him enviously and pointed out the circuit was in STCC2 and available as an add-on for Grand Prix Legends.
