    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.

    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 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

    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.

    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 Probably the best racing sim I've tried yet.

    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.

    This is the only racing game I admit so far. It depends largely on driving skills, and gives a great feeling and experience to the player especially with the gaming steering wheel. GTR 2 has been made with a rare dedication and proficiency. For that and by considering everything else I didn't mention. GTR 2 shouldn't be rated less than 10.

    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), Yes, this is an excellent racing sim, just as GTR was, and that's the problem.

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

    What a feeling of driving a car in this game. I had a lot of fun. But you need to know, that you must know the tracks very well, the time difference between driving a bend good and great is big, so you will need a lot of practice. the idea of implementing a driving school to learn every sector of a track is great.

I wished there will be something similar to understand the many options to setup your car. And the manual doesnt help either. Dont forget to download some graphic mods, that makes the game very good looking even today.
    Yes, you can play this game with a Gamepad, it only needs to have a lot of analog possibilities.I played with the XBOX controller and it worked. Of course you will see after some hours, why a wheel and pedals are better for this game, but anyway it is still playable.    … Expand

    Отличная физика, но слишком недружелюбна для новичка. Меню слишком перегружено. Чемпионат "как настоящий" но скучный. Только для любителей автосимов.

    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]
