Jeez if you have broadband download the demo its only half a gig. If you like GTR I think GTR2 will be well worth it, its a pretty cheap game anyway. From all my mates in our online league they have commented that the AI is very very good, so racing should be fun on and off line. So just on my initial look I would say it will make a much better online experience. The weather during the matches is dynamic, and can change from rain to sunlight. There is a newly added Arcade mode, which doesnt include qualifying races. Overall, the game has around 20 real-world tracks, along with different car variations separated in 12 classes. I have only driven the demo, it feels much better, the cars are easier to drive out of the corners but, with all the aids off you can still very easily end in the wall. GTR Evolution adds several new cars, such as Audi R8 or Koenigsegg CCX, and tracks including variants of Nürburgring. I feel it may have been in connection with tire wear as well, but however it was accounted for it wasn't linear and low speed grip was all wrong to boot. This was a real pain as some laps you thought you could rely on the car and then all of a sudden you had nothing with not warning. The main issue with GTR was the low speed grip which was at best erratic. However, if they choose to make it easier to control all cars, that's OK too.

The only thing I did in FreeTrack was setting up a tracking graph so its less sensitive in the center. Race07 / GTR Evo is working very well with FreeTrack out of the box. I'm still on the lesser powerful beasts like the BMWs and smaller Porsches, and have left the Saleen and other monsters for when I'm more proficient at controlling them. Im mainly using Race07, GTR Evolution and Game Stock Car. I don't really have any problems with the difficulty curve of GTR.
