Is GTR the next GPL?
Seems to be quite a buzz about it. I haven't had much fun with any
racing sims since about 2001. |

This is about the physics engine, right?
Guess I'll leave that to who's driven these cars IRL. I have brought RBR - but again, however good this rally sim is it still feels real lonely out there without the wheel to wheel competition The physics do seem to me, very good in GTR with one reservation. However, only time will tell if it has a chance to live up to the classic that is GPL. I've also looked at the files and can see no way for modding like GPL which has helped keep it alive for so long. And what is it about open wheel racing; I just love seeing the wheels and suspension at work and it seriously helps with the placement of the car on the track. The real sad thing now is that GPLs graphics are looking really tardy and dated being Directx7 and seeing the georgeous SPA in GTR and the rally circuits in RBR complete with bump mapping (especially in RBR) its hard not to be impressed with these latest sim additions.

I know this is how rally racing is supposed to be, but I find it a bit... lonely. Anyway, no sense in comparing RBR to GTR, as it's two completely different types of "racing". If you prefer racing against the clock, RBR can't be beat (at the moment). I prefer racing against other cars on the circuit, so I am eagerly awaiting GTR! -Pat |

So in RBR you get the best competition from trees or zebras, as there
are no other cars to race against.... hehe. sorry I've heard that RBR is very good but since in GPL your racing against 19 other cars and in RBR its the clock or whatever animal you run into , how can you compare...

At times, oh so many times, the beauty of RBR is just that, you dont need
nobody. That means no cheates, no wreckers, no bul**** jaw-flapping keyboard jockies... There have been nights where you were "free" to race, but there was nobody around, (most of the time they all were all in that latest of 300th consecutive Dega-Tona servers)... Sure I got the "Other 2 games for online racing, but Damnit I love RBR.

I agree RBR is one of the most self challanging sims ever, it really makes
you work to improve your times. If you get real lonely you can race the ghost cars.........
