Here is the RaceSimCentral forum for the game/sim http://forum.rscnet.org/forumdisplay.php?f=542
If you head over there and hunt around for a while you can find the v3 press demo for download (authorised by Simbin apparently). Gives you open practice in a Lister or a Morgan at Spa. Played around briefly last night and it looks impressive. I'm not sure about the default setups though, the car seems to pitch and bounce around like crazy, especially under braking. Seems as though the suspension is massively under damped, but I've not even ventured as far as the setup screen yet.
Loads more info and a demo here too

(Probably the same demo as already mentioned though).

It looked amazing when i went past the stand in the paddock at Donington on the Saturday at the FIA GT. I wanted to have a go, but i couldnt convince my brother to hang around long enough 
but purely from the visuals and sounds etc it seemed pretty fantastic, certainly one i will look at getting when its released! although i doubt my pc will be up to it. But ive always enjoyed the force feedback steering wheel on my main pc when mated with GP3 and Colin McRae rally, you can really feel the weight transfer well, although i usually end up losing it in the F1 car 
all part of the fun though!

I am not a huge fan of computer games, but the only games I normally play are driving related. That being said, this game is leagues ahead of anything else I've tried.
As soon as it is released, I shall be buying a copy and hope to take this away with me on Eurohoon for my fellow travellers to enjoy.
You won't be disappointed.

Hi guys. First post here, so be gentle! I was there (as part of Nixim) at Donnington and spent the entire W/E as a guest of SIMBIN and a) they are a great bunch of folks, and b) their game is the best I have ever played on!
not sure if you saw it but someone near the GTR trailer had a SALEEN chassis cut away with a couple of plasma's and they were allowed to run the GTR game as we were but they did NOT use any special video card. Plain old on board integrated 64mb graphics. Most modern PC's have this as standard.
Their video quality looked good. Not as good as ours but good none the less.
The game... GTR is awesome. from the track artistry to the physics to the setup. Wow. I seriously recommend you get it on any platform that supports a FF wheel to get the most out of it. If you enjoy sim racing then you will love this so much.....

Having spent the entire day playing Live for speed and GTR I can conclude that.... I think Live for speed and the much older Grand Prix legends are better.
Try Live for Speed (www.liveforspeed.net) guys, you can download a demo off the net and upgrade to a full version for about £12. I think GTR is being very overhyped myself, I think Le Mans 24 hour on the Dreamcast is waaay better!
Cheers,
Rob.

Rob have you actually plaid Simbin GTR? IF not how can you know it's being over-hyped? All the positive postings on here are from people who have played it...
