Sports Car GT: Superb...!!!!!

RAS. Spent the afternoon having a wander round my local s/w store asking the vendor "GP3...any idea when...? - June 30th sir...." when came across SCGT for the princely sum of 12.99. "Oooh..." sez I, "Should I - shouldn't I.." * Got home, stuck the wife and kids in the next room and loaded it up. Wow. Three hours later and I'm typing this. Excellent game with outstanding graphics on my V3, good handling and a tough challenge - feels like I'm driving a tank at the moment though in start-up career mode - gots to win some credits sharpish and gets me a new jallopy.... Tough opponents.....all the AI's seem to be Schumacher clones.....talk about nudge them and budge them tactics. Question is.....anyone recommend any add on's such as cars, dashes ect....? Same goes for tracks......any out there.? Er...like this better than GPL. Ian. Now runnin' bare arsed for the hills..!!!!

Here are some sites to get you started. There are tons of car and dash updates for this incredable game. I recently dug it out so I could throw my geforce and wheel at it and I am loving every second. I would recomend getting the damage patch for starters - as the original game simulates damage but does not show it - this patch will turn it on. http://www.littleracer.com/ http://www.theuspits.com/fbody/scgt/scgt.html http://www.gtinsider.com/ Enjoy > RAS. > Spent the afternoon having a wander round my local s/w store asking the > vendor > "GP3...any idea when...? - June 30th sir...." when came across SCGT for the

Go to www.gtinsider.com They've got pretty much everything you want!!

I'm starting to feel like one of the few people who doesn't really like Sports Car GT that much... I just never could really get into it for some reason. I guess I'm just a little different from the rest of the group. >>>>>.No your not. I just permanently deleted SCGT from my hard drive.

I guess I'm just a little different from the rest of the group. For example, I still play ICR2 as much as GPL. :) Dan Belcher Team Racing Unlimited http://simcrashes.cjb.net

I got it for �7.99 a few months ago. I must say, I'd sent the wife for it as I had seen it at �20. When she got home and said it was only �7.99, I thought oh no she's picked the wrong one. Imagine my delight when I found out it was so cheap. Don't be downhearted though, if I had paid �20 for it, I would still have been very happy. So you got a bargian. I feel it's one of the most playable, if not realistic racing games on any system. Just try it with a force-feedback wheel. It's even better! regards, Hal9001 "I treat my PC like my women.

I must agree-it is a very entertaining game. It has its weak points, IMO (most notably, overly-forgiving physics and the terrible generic dash); but, door-to-door with a rather determined opponent at Road Atlanta after 20 minutes of racing can make for an awfully immersive experience. My advice (not that you asked): avoid purchasing too many car upgrades in the game, 'cause you can make yourself nearly invincible. As for upgrades, I'd get the Rrevved Sound Pack just as soon as you can (it was once available at www.gtinsider.com; but, it does not seem to be currently available due to continued site construction). If you can't find it elsewhere, drop me a line (remove x's from address), and I'll send it to you (1.4 MB zipped). Rrevved, sorry if I butchered the spelling of your name; but, your sounds are the bomb. Ian wrote:
