This game looks awsome! If the handling is good, I will for sure buy this game. Maybe it will even dethrone PGR2 as the king of xbl games.

Try the demo, you'll see
Yeah, I'll download the demo overnight since bit torrent is really slow. How does the demo run though? I have a p4 3.06, 512DDR333 and a Radeon 9800pro AIW. I noticed you have a 9800pro. What are the rest of you system specs and how does it run on it?

Have also tried the demo which, AFAIK its ripped from a coverdisk of a pc magazine.
XP2400, 512 mb ram (pc2100), Radeon 9800pro. Works ok with (I think) max settings at 1024x768. Be sure to set handling to Pro Simulation if you like more sim-like handling (or a little bit less arcade-like..). Fun game, but no sim IMO.

There will be a public demo released tomorrow according to www.bhmotorsports.com;

"It has been confirmed for tomorrow 2pm UK (8am EST) and the demo is indeed slightly newer, and using the ToCA branding rather than DTM."

Torrent link for the first one if you can't wait; http://202.157.184.195/suprnova//tor...20Demo.torrent

Hrm.. the first one was ok...
Lacked a variety of cars, but there were still a lot of choices. I think I would've liked it more if I didn't expect so much from it. I'll download the demo and find out whether this is good or not.

Yes, as expected Codemaster didn't deliver "The Ultimate Racing Simulator" as promised, but another arcadegame. Maybe "the ultimate arcade racing game" would be a bit more appropriate.

As an arcaderacer I think its good, better than TRD.

Its a pity it doesn't have the REAL Nurburgring circuit - the Nordschliefe like the old, but still awesome 'Grand Prix Legends'.

(13 miles, over 170 corners!!!)
