Good AI (still so!), an for the standards of when it came out very good driving model. Also, at NoGripRacing there is practically no track or car that cannot be had has a mod. Some of them really look extremely good.

Isn't GTR2 part of the same series that Race 07 does?

In principle, I recommend AC. For older hardware, I recommend GTR2. NFS and such titles I do not take as serious attempts of simulating something.

I could try out AC....maybe...I don't want to buy it and then not be able to run it. AFAIK there's no demo.
With my rig, certain things will run and certain things won't. I've found that the graphics reqs never count towards my pc running it. I can run stuff up to 512mb sometimes.

GTR2 can be had for less than 5 bucks by now. Watch out for the opportunity.

Noted.

P.S. Evolution and Race 07 have no night-day cycle and no weather.

That changes my opinion on Race 07. Right now all i've got to play is Burnout Paradise....I might dig up Hot Pursuit 2...but I want something as close as I can get to an AC type of game.

P.P.S. You can check for GSC2013. It uses the graphics engine from the first rFactor, just has much better physics, and a nice Nordschleife mod. How could I miss to list that? GSC2013 is the way to go, no doubt, if hardware specs allow it for yo9u. Check this thread and its videos, the karts are GREAT FUN and are very well done, physics wise.

Checking out this right now.

This is their official specs:
Minimum configuration: 1.4 Ghz Processor / Windows XP or superior / 1GB RAM / Directx 9.0c compatible video card with 256MB Video RAM / 4 GB free hard disk space / Internet connection for online activation
Recommended configuration: 2.6 Ghz Processor / Windows XP or superior / 2GB RAM / Directx 9.0c compatible video card with 512MB Video RAM / 4 GB free hard disk space / Internet connection for online activation

That one honestly looks doable for me.

As Herr Berbunch said, there also is netKart Pro, very cheap by now. Good physics but - if you do not do MP, you will race alone, since there are no AI cars. It looks dated by now, however. A solid track collection can be build via free downloads. The guys behind nKp are the same who now do AC.

MP is going to be hard for me. We blow through our 10gb limit in like two weeks....so half a month I have fast internet...other half is very very slow.
