I believe that there is no other game like this, coupled with a play seats evo, a couple of buttkickers, and a 7.1 surround sound system, with a logitech G25 racing wheel... you cant avoid feeling like you are IN the game, racing against some of the toughest AI that ever made it into a game.

The driving school makes it easier for beginners, though the game is still very tough, even with the bonus of the school... but thats one of the best aspects of the game, though the qualifying sessions are quite hard, for example, you will be put down to like 10th position in the qualifying, though you will completely smash the opposition in the race itself, i think thats severely unbalanced, and simbin could've taken some more time to fix that.

Another great feature of this game is how moddable it is, though the original game only recreates the 2003/04 seasons, there are countless mods (which i have) to recreate the 05/6/7 seasons, giving the game an even bigger lasting appeal. a quick trip to www.nogripracing.com and you will see how many mods there are, perfectdark has also created the brilliant F1 2007/05 mod, as well as the very well known SCC prototypes mod, which gives you the possibility to compete in the ALMS and LMS seasons all the way from 1997 (i think).
there is also a COUNTLESS number of tracks available for download, like sebring, le mans, long beach, laguna seca, infineon, lime rock park, and SOOO on...

In the end, this is a merely amazing simulator, that puts everything around it to shame, mainly due to its astonishing attention to detail, tell me, how many games take in consideration the way fuel moves around in your tank during corners? not many, but GTR2 is one of them.
I am proud to say this is one of the greatest games i have ever played, no matter what genre or platform it is.
