    This is taken from PC gamer mag ,just thought it nay interest a few ,the irresistible,incredible GTR 2002

    GT Racing 2002 was reviewed by Andy Mahood in his SimColumn in the latest edition of PCGamer magazine. This is a transcript of the review:

    ABSOLUTELY BLOODY AMAZING! That's the only way that I can even begin to describe the remarkable new GT Racing 2002 mod that the SimBin Development Team has created for EA/ISI's F1 2002.

    Third-party add-ons have been a staple in racing-sim circles for more than a decade now, but never before has a 'lowly' mod so completely reinvented the wheel upon which it turns. Indeed, if it wasn't for the fact that Papyrus just hit one out of the park with NASCAR Racing: 2003 Season, SimBin's sports-car mod for F1-2002 would rank as the finest racing simulation on today's market - freeware or retail.

    As nutritious and tasty as F1-2002 was out of the box - the F1 sim came within a whisker of earning an Editors' Choice award when we reviewed it last September (giving it 89%) - the GTR 2002 add-on transforms this already excellent title into the definitive sports-car simulation of our age. SimBin's massive 270Mb download (which can be found at www.simmods.com) installs a separate folder that cleverly borrows what it needs from ISI's game engine while simultaneously running its own unique GUI and 3D interface screens.

    GTR 2002 features an entirely new physics model that offers distinctive handling characteristics for each of its highly detailed production-based vehicles - spread over three different classes and including rides like the Porsche 996, Ferrari 550 Maranello, and Marcos LM600. It adds a unique real-time, dynamic suspension model, fade-prone brakes, and completely revised tire models.

    The mod ships with seven new tracks - each a dramatic improvement on the 17 venues that shipped with the original F1-2002 - as well as a revamped AI system and a new 10-round FIA GT multi-class Championship mode. As a constantly evolving product, with new cars and tracks being delivered on a regular basis, GT Racing 2002 is only going to get bigger, better and more polished with the passage of time.

    If you don't already own a copy of F1-2002, then stop reading this right now and race out and buy one. As soon as you have installed, download the GTR 2002 mod and get that puppy loaded up as fast as humanly possible. You can all thank me later.
