Games which complement the cicuits

[lewistintin]

If you want to learn all the UK circuits, which game for a ps2 is the best to buy. I have the new TOCA game but it doesnt have most of the UK circuits which is a bit of a let down.
Im not looking for perfect copies, just something to get an idea of a circuit before i turn up would be great.

To add to Lewis' question, anyone know same for xbox? (sorry for slight hi-jack)

Project Gotham has got a ggod version of the ring for Xbox

The new GT4 has got nearly all of them, that's on PS2

TOCA Race Driver has a few of them on (Oulton, Doni, Brands).
Wouldn't say they would give you much more than a very rough idea about the circuit though. Especially Oulton which is very open on the game (not many trees etc).

So when are we starting a thread on best GT4 time around the ring... just played it for an hour and did said circuit in TVR T350... nice.. killed myself about 8 times...

GT4 doesn't have any UK circuits on it

Despite knowing the circuit like the back of my hand...the left hand that is (i never look at my right hand!)...I just seemed to bounce around the circuit from one armco to the next. So Ive come to the conclusion that im cr4p at GT4!

Race Driver has more than Race Driver 2.
The best I've found though is the old Toca Touring Cars (1998 I think) for PC - has virtually all the circuits on

You know I was hoping to do the ring this year, but after an hour playing this and spinning the T350 at the end of the mammoth straight @ 170mph in a striahgt line, I thought... mmm... maybe not.. :-)

GT4 is so damn realistic.

Yes! The original TOCA, or TOCA 2 were great - and had decent versions of all the major UK club circuits. They'll be selling at bargain basement prices now as well.

I did avoid a certain gravel trap though!!

I have been down this route recently, ended up hiring TOCA Race Driver for the PS2 and am quite disappointed. I already have TOCA and TOCO 2 for the PC but neither will install/run, TOCA seems to be pre 2000 and TOCA 2 just refuses to run with my graphic cards (in two different machines) doomed!!!… I will just have to learn the circuits the hard way!
