Just do it! I have yet to find a better racing sim.

Greetings, friends HUNAMs ! Could anyone tell me should I buy Viper Racing and what is it about ? I like GPL, GP2, Nascar 3, little less SCGT ( though I've been dreaming about REALISTIC GT sim ) and deleted MGPRS2 from HDD a long time ago. Thank you.

Have you tried using the Advanced Options Editor for SCGT? You can dload it at the gtinsider, it will give you a lot more sim feel to your racing. dave henrie Warren Reicho wrote:

Warren, you can't go wrong with Viper Racing. It is head and shoulders above SCGT, which I play a lot, even with the Advanced Options Editor patch. IMHO it is only about one tick below GPL. The only drawbacks is there are no real world tracks but the tracks are challenging and you can only drive a Viper (but that's why it's called VR). The career mode is absolutely fantastic and extremely challenging. It is like SCGT in that you have to win money in order to buy upgrades and you progress through 3 levels of competition. Buy it, you'll like it. Paul Warren Reicho wrote:

Viper racing is the puppys privates. Get it! Excellent career mode. (Tip: weight reduction is the way to go). /petern

IMHO >it is only about one tick below GPL. > Agreed with all that, I'd like to mention that IMO for 2 reasons Viper is another milestone in the development of racing sims. 1) Viper was the first racing game with a really good FF! 2) Viper is so long AFAIK the only racing game, whose damage model is calculated in real time and does NOT use a handful of predefined patterns, which make the damage model of other racing games very boring after a short time (especially, when you crash with your front and see a broken window in the back, like in MM). In Viper every damage looks different and if you scratch a wall, the marks are exactly at the place, you touched the wall. And... don't forget to get the patch 1.1, it adds to FF, as well as to grafics and other things. CU Zolli

Hm, I must have missed something... I tried the game twice. Didn't like it. The graphics, the cars, the handling, I don't know, it just didn't suit me, I guess. I deleted it and never regretted it. Try before you buy, I'd say... Jeroen Warren Reicho heeft geschreven in bericht <7u1rui$19uf$[email hidden]>...

My two cents. Viper Racing is one of the most highly-regarded Racing Sims in this forum, and I agree with those assesments. It is very realistic, very enjoyable, and VERY re-playable. IMHO, it's better than anything except GPL, and if you don't like GPL, it's the best there is. -Larry
