[Grey M@a]

I just bought Race - WTCC with the caterham addon off steam for £9 loved this game just forgot about it so will be getting the newer version of it

[Merlin4458]

oh i thought there was another version already out. Grey M@a what is the first one like compared to Toca race driver and other similar games. Could u also let me know how u find this new demo, and the comparissons. Basically can u review it lol in a nut shell

[Grey M@a]

TOCA is a poor arcade racer, SimBin have done GTR GTR2 GTR Legends and Race etc. If you want the best simulation of the touring cars nothing comes close to Race - WTCC

[Merlin4458]

cool. Is it essential i use a stearing will? or is it jsut for added effect?

[Grey M@a]

Steering wheel will help with perfect cornering and clutch/gear control but I do perfectly well with a keyboard. Lose a few tenths of a second sometimes with the keyboard but doesn't really make a difference unless you are racing against very good players online

I've been wanting to try this demo out. Sounds like a winner!

Is there any way to play this demo without needing to install the Steam client? You'd think there must be a version of the demo made available that you can install without needing an internet connection?

[Steve54]

Im not a big fan of steam either, but fortunatly have it on my system for CS so i might just go ahead and check this out.

I got bad stuttering

FPS was absolutely fine and very high, but when other cars are around there's frequent micro-pauses that make it hard to race properly.

Need to try again with latest drivers, stuttering was on Bioshock hotfix ones.

Otherwise.. this game looks a bit flat - it's very simbin rather than Toca, so car handling characteristics are very similar to their other games (ie, not very good on a gamepad), and the graphics are unfortunately similar - 2d trees/crowds etc, no shaders on track surfaces.

Ive been playing it a lot in the last few hours...im really enjoying it...when you mess around with the setups and what is on and off in terms of driver aids it makes it a lot more interesting...looking forward to the fll game!

[kidzer]

Doesn't look great, and doesnt feel great - unless I've missed some of the driving aids it seems like they're never totally off, I shall have to check again and report back later.

Played it for about 4 hours last night! Cracking. Anyone know the release date?
