toca 3 racing

[mario_zgb]

been member of apexspeed for few years but happened to notice this forum just recently... i see you guys have lots of fun with r-factor... i wish i could join you but few years ago i ended up with broken ps2... managed to fix it for my daughter and saw her later playing some simple driving game... she lost interest for it so as a bad father i took over it hehe...

now i have too much fun with toca race driver 3... there's more than enough classes and tracks... i play it now for more than a year and still at 74% of the game... i play it at 110% difficulty, it's more fun

also have few grand turismo games but they never caught my interest

anyway, enough talking hehe... uploaded two of my races so far... hope you like it... and who knows? maybe some of you will persuade me to buy network adapter hehe

if anybody wondering, i use $25 steering wheel and pedals

anybody else enjoying Toca Race Driver 3?

I've run it (for a while - the Mac version). I liked the wide variety of cars to choose from, but the physics were much more primitive than they are in the better mods for rFactor or GTR2 - let alone iRacing, of course. It's a game with definite sim leanings, but not quite a real sim.

you might be right... but i'm glad i still feel like i don't need any other racing game even i have few of them

first one i bought was Tokyo Xtreme Racer and i was really disappointed... next one, by fluke, was Toca Race Driver 2... i really liked it but i had feeling there are probable better ones out there... as you say physics are good but there were still room for improvement... than i found used Toca Race Driver 3 for $9... didn't expect much, but when i started playing it i couldn't understand why would somebody get rid of game like that... i answered my question after few championships... you really need to know how to drive... you really have to understand setups if you want to win... and excellent physics (at least on PS2) are the reason i don't feel like playing other games... i heard lot of good things about Gran Turismo... so i did buy 3 and than 4... but for now they're just collecting dust

anyway... thx for your suggestion... i'll look for PS2 or PS3 version of those games... of course, after i'm done with Toca

in the meantime few more challenging races

never been there... must be fun... for those who raced real car at Laguna, is this simulation any close to real racing there?
