Best Racing Game With Spa In It

[RacingPete]

I hopefully will be racing at Spa for the first time next weekend and want to have a little practice around the track, virtual style, before I go.

Can anyone recommend the best representation of Spa Francorchamps on the PC or Xbox 360?

GTR2 for the PC comes with Spa as default, it's a great sim and I think it's available on budget now.

Have a look at rFactor too, you can download new cars and tracks including Spa.

Race Pro on the Xbox 360 has Spa as a downloadable add-on, you should be able to pick up a copy fairly cheaply and the DLC is around £7 IIRC.

Race Driver : GRID has Spa.

Gives you a good idea of which way to go round, which is all you need I guess ? It's not like any game can ever come remotely close to the real thing

Awesome track to drive, one of my fav's

Never raced there mind you, just a couple of track days.

I do agree that it is not as good as the real thing, but is very useful on long courses to memorise the track. I then backup the knowledge with in-car footage afterwards to pinpoint things and modulate the corners that aren't 100% accurate on the game.

I used this technique on the Nordschliefer before going there and it worked very well so just looking to do the same again

Thanks for the suggestions above... should really look at rFactor but never really got into it.

Definately helps for which way to go, I cracked out PGR4 before I went to the Nurburgring F1 track a couple of weeks ago
