I wish GTR 2002 had a reward system more like Sony / Digital Polophony's Gran Turismo series has. Don't get me wrong I really can appreciate how great GTR 2002 is but I could really use a little more incentive to race for 18 laps just to finish, pick another car and another track and do it again. I want to earn the right to drive that awesome Lambo or Ferrari. Does anyone else feel this way too? Do you know if any mod makers have thought about working on something like this?

Isn't this exactly what the new Simbin.com development is trying to acheive? All the best, Ash http://www.siroccoracing.com

I really hope not, I want to be able to race whichever car I choose at any time I choose. If someone wants to limit their choice of cras, just set certain levels of achievement before you let yourself go up a series. -- Ian P <email invalid due to spammers>

There's a reward scheme for you. I'd wager the rest of this group would rather drive what ever they WANT to drive whenever they want to drive it Doug

I didn't intend to offend the GTR veterans as I admit I'm definitely a GTR novice. I've really enjoyed racing the new Corvette chassis at Laguna Seca and find the driving model, graphics and sounds to be much more fun then GT3. The reason I would pay thousands for PC hardware to play a GTR 2002 / GT3 game would be high res graphics and the ability to download updates to the game engine, new cars, new tracks, sounds and so on. I don't know why EA or anyone else for that matter hasn't noticed the popularity of GT3 for the PS2 and tried to capitalize on it for the PC.

Have you tried the Live For Speed demo/test release? It plays a lot like a GT3 with better physics and AI. At the moment it only has 3 generic production cars (with a points system to lock out the faster 2 cars when you start out) and a single circuit with 4 variations. The first release for purchase (due in mid-July) will include 3 additional cars, and 2 or 3 new circuit complexes (possibly adding drag racing and autocrossing). I'm not certain of all the details, but you find all this at: http://www.liveforspeed.net From your posts concerning GTR2002 vs. GT3, I think you'll really enjoy LFS. Good little download! -jde

Hi Jde, No, I haven't tried the Live for Speed demo but I'm downloading it now. Thank you for the suggestion and link to it. I'll let you know what I think of it.
