Grid is the successor to toca and does a fantastic job in making a very realistic race game

You have got to be kidding me ...

GRID is not a racing sim, its not even a remote cousin of realism. Codemasters have stated that it is not realism they are after, and golly have they done a good job. This game is the worst racing game I have ever played. (Havent tried NFS lately, though)

The crashing is great, but the core of racing - physics of the car - is laughable.

I tried GT5 Prologue the other day, and its half decent, although not heavy on the realism either. But heaps better than GRID.

Have you even played the demo m8. It seems pretty realistic to me. What would you improve to make it more realistic.

First of all, make the cars behave like cars. The BMW turns like a Formula 1 car, f.i.

ok thats better. what else do you think is wrong?

The glaring HDR, but thats moddable. (For the PC version)

The main problem is the physics, though. I dont see the point in buying a racing game when it doesnt feel like you are driving a car. I love the damage model though, wish I could get something like that in say GTR2.

The game has taken a trashing in the simracing community, by the way. And now Codemasters have grabbed the right to Formula 1 ... Damn it.

Not trying to offend anyone, I just really hate arcade racers.
