This looks promising... Codemasters' games usually have good playability and realism, and are fun to play. I think I would get this for PC.

Released : Winter 2005

ToCA Race Driver 2006 is the latest edition of the long-running series that's famous for providing the most exciting wheel-to-wheel racing action on console and PC.

ToCA Race Driver 2006 takes the variety of motorsport experiences available in Race Driver 2 and expanding on it even further, so no matter what your taste in racing, you'll find something to suit you.

Featuring the British GT championship, series stalwarts the DTM and Aussie V8 Supercars, Sprint Cars, Rallying, and open wheel racing all the way from karts to the BMW Williams Grand Prix Cars, and much more ToCA Race Driver 2006 has something for everyone.

Race on tracks from all over the world, take the story-driven "world tour" mode if you want to get straight to where the action is, or for the people wanting the nuts and bolts, take the "Pro Career" mode and work you way up the ladder in different disciplines of motorsport, aiming for the pinnacle of your chosen field.

 

I have a hunch GTR is going to provide your fix quite nicely for this sort of thing. You know about the GT Legends game that's due out next, right? I really want to drive the Cobra coupe!

oh yeah.... GTR... should I install it???



that GT legends game looks good... Simbin is on a roll.

 

May as well wait 'til the weekend though so you can give it a right & proper shakedown. Once you get a couple of weeks under your belt, I'm going to be real curious to hear your opinions of how the physics stack up against GT4.

 

yea I think that's what I'll do... plus I don't have the Momo Force wheel here with me... I have to pick it up over the weekend... so that's another reason I was in no rush to install it. And no, I'm not installing the DFP...

 

 

i have toca 2 for pc and i think its pretty damn realistic. the clutch characteristics are second to none and the graphics are first rate!! def. try it !

 

well I installed it and am playing with the GT4 wheel (which I'm keeping because the controller is taking its toll on my hands, and I think if I continue to use it at the rate I am, I'm gonna have some serious probs down the road - so yes I am switching to the wheel because of concern for my health.)

and the answer regarding how the physics of GTR stack up to GT4....

the answer is, there is no comparison. You can't compare em. GTR is raw simulation. GT4 is an arcade game compared to it. This is how it was with the old version of GTR - its the same with the new version, only the difference is magnified due to the refinements. Amazing. Now I just need more cars and tracks, and I will be golden.

ONE BIG THING though - is there any way to adjust the force feedback? I feel like, when I steer, that the force feedback wants to turn the wheel the WAY I AM GOING - i.e. it offers no opposite resistance when turning, as it should - this is how it was with the old GTR too - and we kind of either dealt with it or turned off force feedback - I was hoping they would have fixed that for the new version, guess not. Any ideas? I noticed there was a checkbox for "reverse force" - not sure what that does. I clicked it and it crashed my computer

 

I will DEFINITELY be buying this game... it looks like it will actually be FUN to play, unlike some other games in this genre...

 

Gee, elbow me in the ribs a little harder will ya?

 

oops
