Found it as a demo on a disk around 2005 ish (Along with GTR) i thought id give it ago.. at first, i was like "OMG you have to go 30 to go round the corner, this sucks (at the time i had a REALLY bad controller for my pc, so turning was near impossible)
But as i realised it was a Sim, i decided to hook up my PS2 controller and give that a try, and i loved it
( i actually dont think ive improved my racing since tho :P)
