Closest thing to Gran Turismo for PC?

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for a racing sim that's close to Gran Turismo for the PS or Sega GT for the DC. I saw GTR2 today and it seemed close, but not quite what I wanted. Any help? Thanks!

I did...and beat it with the exception of 2 or 3 cars. I'm looking for something bit more modern. Maybe I should have said I'm looking for something like GT4 for the PC. Native widescreen support would be icing on the cake too.

GTR2 is a sim that simulates real racing, not something that just tries to give you lots of cars to drive with a blend of arcade and realism that the Gran Turismo series offers. So probably best that you passed on GTR2, only thing is has to offer that a GT fan is likely looking for is cars, everything else is really different.

I'd stay away from anything like GT4.

 

My favorite PC racing game was almost pure arcade. It's 1998 Sega Rally. It's not 100% realistic, but it's a lot of fun.

Okay, I'll pass on GTR2. I guess what I'm looking for is the simulation experience that GT has to offer. I like the idea of having to buy a POS Daewoo or something, sinking some cash into it to make it barely win a race and then build upon those winnings. Oh well, I'll cruise Compusa and see if anything catches my eye.

Well, considering the price of a decent gaming PC these days, you might as well buy a car. That's better simulation that GT.

What's wrong with GT4?
