Driving physics model is one of the best I've ever seen. Initial races are just long enough to keep your interest while learning the do's and don't of the game. Longer races that follow are awesome. AI is also excellent with other drivers constantly trying to keep you from passing them. When a particular body panel is hit, it is reflected in exactly that spot.
Car tuning is easy to master and the interface is flawless.
I don't know why the gaming press has pretty much ignored this game. This is an excellent game that I would recommend to anyone that enjoys racing games. No slowdown even with all cars on the screen at the same time. In car view is exactly like what you see on Speedvision BTCC races in-car view. The driver even shakes his fist at non yielding drivers.
