Oddly I was looking fro some verge surfing in a 75.  Cheaper that way,
though I may have to buy a wheel.  Never been a fan of driving games, but
this might just have to be done.

I love the real sims like Grand Prix Legends which you can also race in
online championships. This one looks a tad arcade for me but has probably
got to be done. Strangely the family have never been that impressed with my
racing achievements :)

If you are not into computer games you may be looking at more than buying a
wheel to get any decent performance though...

Erm, don't you think my 3G Athlon 64XP wth a Raid 0 and 256M Geforce card
will cope then? ;)

Looks quite nice, but manufacturer endorsed games don't always turn out great.

I'll stick with my Spider, GTV and GT in Gran Turismo for now.

However FIA endorsement takes a great deal of effort.
Look at GTR (released this week in UK) if you want realism in driving and
car physics. Grand Prix Legends was the inspiration for the programmer.
It drives fantastically. Though you need to put in a few months of effort
to get the very best out of it. Ask The Roos Racing Team. they use it when
they can't get track time <LOL>

If I can drag myself away from GT4 I'll check it out.

The Press reviews are pretty pleasing.
There is a demo if you want to take a look.

If you want realism then there is nothing closer.
I know. I have inside info <LOL>

Ahh, no Mac version apparently, and my creaky old Windows laptop hasn't a hope
of running it.
