Not really that exciting but ... TVR don't seem to feature in too many console games you have Grand Turismo 1-3, Project Gotham Racing both have the Tuscan. But TOCA Racing Driving offers a few more....







if you have the games the code MECHANIC - gies you all cars and BIGLEY - gives you all tracks. Something to do when you're not out driving the TVR i guess !!

cool! so its worth getting that game then! out of interest do they handle and sound like you'd imagine, or like you're playing a computer game? (obviously within the parameters of it being a computer game, but Toca is supposed to be at the simulation end of the games market)

I ask this question because I wasnt entirely convinced of the Speed 12's appearance in Toca 2, whereas in GT2 and GT3 it's exactly as i'd have imagined it (ie a real bugger to drive )

You can change most things on the set up for each of the cars to make it handle more realistically. Over steer on the Tuscan Challenge is then just a press of a button away. The accelerator button on the PS2 controller does work in degrees so you can drift it out of a corner or nail it and spin the thing round. Not the most realistic game but still worth a go even just to hire IMHO

Game manufacturers are wary of using TVR`s in racing simulations, as they usually break down on the grid.

Even more wary of using Morgan incase the Ash has any bugs in it.

Edited to cue post from an angry Morgan owner......

Too bloody right...!! And I reckon Renault should replace the 'O' in Cli'O' with the letter that follows 'S'... As it seems that this would then accurately reflect the drivers of such French automotive merde!

I have spent half my life on Gran Turismo 1-3 Realy miss the Cerberas and Chimaeras on GT3 But thank god there is a Tuscan, Griffith and Speed 12 Cerbera to play with or i would have cried. I have TOCA Race Driver, fantastic game! But i didnt know there were so many TVRs available. I thought there was only Tuscan Challenge Race Cars but if what i read above is true! i need to haul ass back home and switch on the playstation 2. Medal of Honour Frontline has had me hooked for far too long. Ferrari F355 Challenge is brilliant. It would be great if TVR released a game called TVR challenge i dont think i would see the light of day ever again. Is the X box good? I have playstation 2 but dont know if X box is as good or better? This test drive 6 sounds brilliant. Good Gameplay?
