    At just $6.99 for dozens of hours of racing challenges, GT Racing presents incredible value for your download dollars, too. Gearheads, waste no time getting to the App Store.

    GT Racing is a solid racing game which will appeal to those looking for a more realistic racing experience. While it does not contain the content or customizability of Gran Turismo, this is a solid effort that should keep racing enthusiasts happy.

    GT Racer is probably one of the best racers on the App Store. In particular, racing fans looking for a realistic racer that offers nicely varied racing action wrapped up in a very pretty package should enjoy Gameloft's latest offering.

    GT Racing: Motor Academy is a gorgeous, realistic racer with tons of content. If you're patient enough to wait out the load times, you're in for a treat.

    But I must give credit where credit is due: if you're dying for another racer, GT Racing is solid.

    It was my childhood game, but I find it the worst knock-off to Gran Turismo franchise.

    The storyline is dead, the gameplay is a bit dry    It was my childhood game, but I find it the worst knock-off to Gran Turismo franchise.

    The storyline is dead, the gameplay is a bit dry lack of crash physics and the progression is terrible because Gameloft lies that they have "Constant updates" which is a failed slang from Gameloft.

    I don't recommend but only if you want to try out the **** experience of a Gran Turismo clone on mobile.    … Expand
