Does this thing have anything remotely like GTR2-XD?
Can't find GT1s - is this accesible through mods?
Lots of useless stuff there - front powered cars and the like...

Getting warmed up, really.

You gotta update DirectX 9c ... and installer says I have the newer version installed already (Win 7). Now what?

[Jeffrey]

Cancel the DirectX install.

[Truetom]

Err, yes. What I mean is the XD doesn't show as I didn't update the DirectX...

[purdie]

always liked GTR-Evo.. especially the F3000's   but i realise this is thread is more about GT's  and getting back into some traditional mixed class endurance GT racing

never got to grips with the online GT's but mods definitely make it feel like GTR2 tho, and racing in this league would make the game far more appealing.

Up for any test races as I haven't made any gtr2 recently

After this build up, I had to give it a go. Bear in mind, I've only tried the Koeeeenesssigg so far.

Driving the Cats in Race gives one the impression they are driving god. Whether thats cause the physics are arcadey/easy or that you have much more feedback than from GTR for example, I couldn't really tell you. Unarguably, it does make the Cats fun. I was rather surprised that Evo is very much the same so far. Its rather hard to quantify but it just "feels" good and makes you feel, like, good

Would it be better to run this on Race night, i.e. Wednesday, alternatively with say Clio mod? At least to start off with.

Not averse to a single seater series too, if it pulls the punters in. The F3000's do look good in it from what ive seen. But one of the mods i think we should all go for is the 2010 FIA GT1 mod
