I downloaded all 33 megs of the STCC demo. I regret to report that it is very
disappointing. It sorta makes TOCA2 seem like GPL. Although it's a little
hard to tell too much from the demo, in that there is no in-car view (just
chase) and the keyboard is the only way to control the car. The sound is very
weird, like one of the gas-powered model airplanes or a wind-up toy. There is
no damage and it doesn't seem like there is anything like understeer or
realistic physics.
That's all you get after downloading 33 megs.
The demo is 100% arcade.

I agree
You are incorrect. F1 changes your driving views (although the in car
dash is not a work of art) and there is support for wheels you just
have to add "new controller" and set it up, but the wheel has to be
configured in windows control panel first.
LOL this is what I thought. It DOES sound like a plane!
Yeah the physics are horrible IMHO. No feeling of tight or loose.
If you are on cable, DSL etc it doesnt take too long to download, but
for conventional modem users I would say "dont waste your time" :)

I`m not defending this demo but it does have an in-car view and you can use
a steering wheel.

Hmm, have you been to a touringcar race and listened to the sounds these
cars makes?
The sounds in game is acctualy a lot better than TOCA2 on that bit, the
Alfa Romeo 156 in the full version just sounds gourdious! :)

Exactly how much time did you spend with the demo before making these two
observations?

Both are incorrect.

Well the demo I downloaded does support my MSFF wheel - you have to add the
controller in the options. Although the dead zone is too big for my liking
and the sensitivty too low - with no option to change it - in the demo at
least.
