Downloaded, installed, faffed around for 5 minutes setting everything up the same way I have it for GTR/GTL/rFactor played for 2 minutes, uninstalled.

Car model is fine, it looks fine but the physics, the way it behaves and the playability is just appalling, along with the force feedback which even on full was very weak. I haven't played anything this bad since Toca Race Driver. This might just be a poor demo of a game that will be better, but on this strength I won't be putting my hand in my pocket to buy it.

Ps. Good things? - It has working windscreen wipers. That's about it.

I didnt think it was all that bad myself, a few issues that need ironing out and I hope they get that done before its released.

One thing I did hate though was the ghost, is there anyway to switch it off as I find it distracting?

Cheers

Normally done via your PLR player file like all Simbin/ISI games where you can make adjustments to controls, graphics and such. However for the RACE demo they seem to have encoded the PLR file so you can't.

I un-installed it and don't think they have done themselves any favours releasing it so unpolished..

Looks like someone has managed to get GTR2 tracks working in WTCC now

Cant try the tracks yet as I dont have GTR2 at the moment.
