If the car leans considerably going into a turn, I may experience the sensation of leaning. More graphic realism could be given to the spectators in the grandstands, but I don't even notice them when I drive by. The game is simply too demanding to engage in sight-seeing activities. Codemasters have really concentrated on those tiny little details which many have forgotten and it produces hours of endless challenge and fun. Gameplay is smooth as silk and is the closest thing to real life you will ever find.
Cars handle beautifully and crashes are awesome.
You should buy it if you like Touring Cars. The controls are easy if you have read the booklet. It can also let you change the controls if you don't like the way it is set in the first place. The steering wheel follows your direction, following you everywhere, and the car shakes if you go on the gravel, and stuff. The sound is quite boring.
