GTR: FIA GT Racing Game 2 Preview @ GameSpot UK

GameSpot UK have posted a preview of GTR: FIA GT Racing Game 2:

Of course, beyond the new gameplay modes (which also include a full re-creation of the Proximus 24-hour event at Spa-Francorchamps and online multiplayer for as many as 28 players), simply driving the car in GTR 2 is more than enough to keep your hands busy and your mind at full attention. The same demanding driving model is well intact in GTR 2; with the in-game assists such as traction control and braking help enabled, you can find yourself winging your way around tracks like Estoril and Hockeheim with relative ease. Disengage those assists, however, and you really get a feel for the demands of rocketing around corners at ludicrous speeds. The cars feel heavy and solid yet are apt to bounce you practically out of your chair during bumpier sections (think the back straight at Monza after the Lesmos curves).
