They promised the first one would be Live and they they said this one would be as well. I hope they actually follow through.

In another thread, Live For Speed was called a PC counterpart to the Gran Turismo series. ToCA 2 certainly has the looks to merit that description. Get a load of the amount of detail in this pacing shot (http://media.pc.ign.com/media/605/60...g_1927704.html) and this GT90 on which you can see the clear reflection of the skywalk in the background.

The original Pro Race Driver also had some graphic flourishes, but the frame rate was irregular and the "CaRPG" elements were borderline idiotic, in my limited experience with it. If Codemasters can execute on their apparently boundless ambition and put a better game behind the pretty face, this could really be something special. In addition to new damage and driver AI systems, 48 tracks, and a promise of 60 fps, consider this highlight:
DUDE, WHERE'S MY CAR?ToCA Race Driver 2 boasts the most diverse range of insanely fast motor sports ever seen in one game. 31 championships cover 15 different motor racing styles including GT Sports Car Racing, Street Racing, Rally, DTM, V8 Supercars, Global GT Lights, Rally Cross, Formula Ford, Open Wheel Grand Prix, Classic Car Racing, Super Truck racing, Stockcar Oval Racing, Ice-Racing, Convertible Racing, and Performance Cars.
