    Played the demo on my old wheel that I've had for ages, and immediately "felt" that this was the one. I've never really been tempted to lash out on expensive hardware, just for this one type of gaming... But, needless to say, + retail copy, + Logitech Racing Momo, - $several, I am in racing heaven. The driving school alone is truly excellent, and of itself hugely enjoyable and rewarding. There are few games I can think of that not only insist you get better, but actually make you want to do so. (damned if I'm not going to take away a Gold Gear on every single lesson from that instructor, on full realism!) Pure, nerve-racking, racing bliss on the PC.… Expand

    Probably the best racing sim I've tried yet. The graphics might lack a bit behind the prettiest console offerings (and some PC arcade racers as well), but the physics and driving experience is miles ahead and only matched by a few other PC sims. I can't imagine driving these cars with a gamepad though, you''ll need wheel and pedals to get full value here. But it's certainly worth it.… Expand

    This is a great game slightly better than gtr in graphics, better cars, plenty of extra tracks & cars available on the net (nogrip) also available now mmm v8 supercars mod, you can now uninstall v8 supercars 3 and chuck it. This game is the king of racing games.

    What can I say that hasn't already been spoken and what could I write that hasn't already been written? GTR 2 is without a doubt a work of art and at only $20 anyone can afford this masterpiece.

    Impressing, this game may be flawed and very hard but, the driving-feeling is complete and it's so addicting.

    DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME....if you dont have a wheel and pedals. I've read some unfavorable reader reviews about controls, and physics in this game from people who play this game with a keyboard. LOL. Quit being so cheap and get a decent wheel. Its the ONLY way to play racing sims.
    GTR2 - $20
    Logitech MOMO wheel w/ pedals - $103

    Yes, this is an excellent racing sim, just as GTR was, and that's the problem. I bought GTR the day it was released, and I've played it almost every day since, and I really can't say that GTR2 is that much better. The only signiicant improvement in GTR2 is that it adds a few more cars and tracks (most of which were already available on the net for the first game anyway), the addition of a training mode, and addition of mini championships. Other than that, this is basically GTR all over again - the graphics are just a hair better now, and the driving physics are a tad easier this time around. Still an amazing game, but I can't give it more than 8 stars because I was expecting a more significant improvement over GTR.… Expand

    Play it with a Wheel of course. My favorite game of all times. Played it 2500h+ between 2006-2009.

    Has some shortcomings but Simbin never did better so far. RACE07 and subsequents addons where not as good.

    Best PC Racing Game of All Time at the Moment. Great content and features with added great game play and modes that include a racing school and a long list of championships to compete. The driving has all levels of difficulty to accommadate all users with all types of controller hardware. Scalable weather and time acceleration in 24hr scales. Great physics and car selections plus the ability to add some of the loads of add on content created by the community along with great league support still make this the best racing sim of all time… Expand

    SimBin have concentrated their efforts exactly where it counts - on the driving itself. And what they've created is the finest, most complete racing sim ever. [Oct 2006, p.78]

    The only thing that's hard to adjust, in fact, is the tension in your muscles. GTR 2 is hugely better than its predecessor in exactly the area that matters. [Oct 2006, p.89]

    A sensory feast, GTR2 takes you so close you can almost smell the burning rubber. The best PC racing sim there is. [Oct 2006, p.90]
