Here's an in-car video of my latest passion. This is definitely "sim" territory and not game. The graphics are decent but nothing to write home about by today's standards. The physics and driving experience on the other hand, WOW!

Warning: 42MB rar file (worth it though, IMO)

BTW - I have the red Logitech Momo wheel as well.

no, it doesn't... this wheel is about ~2 years old, and is no longer (readily) available - new, at least... the 900 degree wheel was specifically made for GT4.

Ooops! Sorry about that. That's "Richard Burns Rally". The web site is kinda' lame but here it is.

http://www.richardburnsrally.com/home.htm

The game actually ins't released in North America, but there are several places that specialize in import games that are selling it. I got mine from interactcd.com

The clip is from the "Mineshaft" stage of the Rally of Canberra in Australia. If you google it, you'll find out that huge jump in the stage is real!

I am pretty sure you were too lazy to read all posts. There is no way you can save during any races. If you don't have time for the 24 hrs enduros, purse the game, turn off your TV and then continue later.

Plus the time doesn't change in the races. You can see sunlight for 24 straight hours.

So, explain something. How do you plan on PWing and continuing your phenomenal productivity on AcuraZine and still play GT4 and the 24 hr. races that it will require?

Yeah, true...but, never doubt an Asian when it comes to getting the job done.

Speaking of GT, I just read that the PSP is coming out with one...

Maybe the tracks are from the arctic circle in the summertime where it is perpetual daylight all day? You know? Yes?

PS2 = $150
Wheel = $30-$150
GT4 = $50
Total = $230-$400 (there probably won't be a bundle deal)

Best racing game ever = $priceless
