I remember my older sister (12 years older than me) coming home from high school one day in early 2007 with a steering wheel and hastily hooking it up to her computer and downloading GTR2, I remember watching her race on it for countless hours and I did my share of driving on it too. There was a little too much going on in it for 5 year old me to comprehend but i loved it and loved watching her drive on it. It started my fascination with racing ( and the Le Mans movie which my sister also introduced me to… and don’t get me started on P&G love it so much). And I remember playing the NASCAR games with her but that was on controller this was different I was holding the steering wheel and pushing the pedals. I’ll never forget how cool it seemed to me back then. Fast forward like 15 years and I’m still playing that game occasionally. Still racing with my sister too. We try to get on AC and screw around for a few hours at least twice a month just hard when you don’t live in the same state anymore and have vastly different schedules. but nothing will beat the first time i played GTR2 ahhh the memories.

Brilliant, was going to start this video now and finish it later, but ended up just watching the whole thing without realizing because I was just too enthralled in the action. Love the mini endurance videos like this, just the whole day/night/day transition, the multi-class battles, the strategy, but in a small enough package that it's not a chore to watch and keep up with what's happening. Also the fact you can just keep live commentating in a way that's entertaining and genuinely informative for the entire race is commendable, I definitely couldn't manage it. Another great video!

For me GTR2 is super bugged. AI ignore blue flags and even fight you by changing line under braking which can fuck your race. First 1-2 laps AI is extremely slow so you overtake 20 cars before turn 2. Ridiculous. Pitstops are completely broken, AI pits randomly, some of them will pit even on lap 1, others won't pit at all, others will pit several times. They probably refuel to 100% and change tires every time so player pitstops are way quicker than AI, bam you go from p10 to p1 and win the race coz you overtake 10 cars in pit. Tyre usage is broken, for player it's super slow and no grip while AI still drives with same pace. There is many many more. GTR2 is literally unplayable.

It's because modern sims have become to sterile from a presentation standpoint. Sure the driving feel is better, the graphics are better, and they are probably more realistic, but basically every modern sim fails miserably at simulating the atmosphere of racing. The immersion of feeling like you're on an actual motorsport team, the AI actually working properly for endurance races, FCY and other actual racing rule sets. I could list off many more things modern sims fail at that GTR2 does better, but it seems nowadays almost all sim developers completely ignore these things and only focuses on updating tire models endlessly without ever acknowledging diminishing returns at a certain point.

But so many memories. Closest ive gotten to it again in modern simming has been the RSS GT pack of this era in AC which gives off the same vibes as you blast around Saleens, Listers and Vipers etc.

I’ve worked on the problem of Race Performance falling short of Qualifying Performance resulting in uncompetitive races in the SHO Competition AI mod at Race Department. The problem requires a custom tuning for each track but if you want close, hard racing it provides a much better experience. The mod provides all this to you already done. There’s still a “fun” element to it, too, you’ll still be able to pass 5-10 AI but eventually you should run up against AI that are faster than you. That is, if you haven’t qualified too high to begin with.

These where good times, still remember we all ordered the Logitech MOMO wheel one day and i start smiling when i remember how we discussed the enormous price for this toy and if it is realy worth it. And it was. Sure, no comparison to the Heusinkveld, Fanatec, Simucube gear etc. we use today, but back then it was a pile of money for us and it shaped our love for simracing still until today.

I used to race this in an online club / league. I liked the Lister Storm in longer races where you had to pit and refuel, it wasn’t the fastest GT car but it was more fuel efficient than quickest cars, so it could make up some time with the quicker pit stops and race strategy. Also, the trees still look better than iRacing, the graphics have held up overall pretty well.

What I loved about GTR2 was their free mods (racing car designs basically) their Pit Stop structure, pace car, a possible pit strategy. Pit stops were pretty in depth in that you controlled how much fuel you wanted, tires, and damage repair etc. I once spent 15 minutes in the pits real time. I also loved how they were true race cars in their respected classes racing each other, not fake ass cars in GT7 and other franchises from Forza, but they are arcade racers, yet they brag they are sim. I also enjoyed multi class between the GT1 field and the GT2 cars, always fun and there were really good groups or clean racers. The AI is also more intuitive than say..... Forza series, GT7 for sure. Races had weather and a very nice difficulty experience, and this was back in the early 2000's. My oh my how things have evolved, or not really?? GTR2 is still a great game.

It was my second Sim. The first was Richard Burns Rally. Still got the installation file here and the original GTR2 CD. Such a good Sim. After that I got GT Legends, Race07 + Expansions, GTR Evolution (kickstarter for all my friends Sim racing carreers, now we all own Sim rigs and drive at least twice a week except for hot summer), Life for speed, Assetto Corsa, Iracing too many to summ them all up.

GTR2 still is my favorite sim for various and obvious reasons. One reason which probably isn't that obvious is something you mentioned at 4:25 in the video. At home, we didn't have the best PC. Just a regular 2002 HP running Windows XP. We didn't have a console at the time so every time a new game came out, my "hype" was always gentle since I wouldn't even know if the game could run properly. Even GTA San Andreas, which was actually pretty well optimalised at the time, ran pretty "iffy" so a 2-year older game like this surely wouldn't run well, right? But I tried the demo using the Lamborghini at Circuit de Cataluyna at night and it ran GREAT. I was so surprised that I could finally play a game which I was hyped for, especially being Belgian and this race being on of our highlighted events. Even on my school laptop I'm currently typing this comment on, it runs great. Even with the newest GTWC mods using 40+ cars on some tracks, the game runs without any issue apart from the laptop running hot. This is why I always preferred it over Rfactor, which actually always felt a bit "bare" using sports car racing mods. Also creating your own endurance races using the Championship Manager mod was awesome. You want to simulate a full FIA GT season consisting of only 24-hour races? Sure, go ahead. 24-hour F1 race around Monaco? Absolutely possible.

The big reason for the upgrades and changes to the track is for bike racing, There was small talk of Motogp but it was mainly for endurance bike racing.

Great point, though I think it's also worth noting how Eau Rouge had horror crashes last summer across open wheel *and* GT racing- it called the safety of that section into question and there was a lot of debate over how much could change while keeping it intact. Luckily they focused overwhelmingly on the runoff and spectating area around it, with minimal change to the flow of the track itself.

Oh man, such good memories! I drove this sim so often with my MOMO Logitech Force Feedback; the wheel that just kept going, nearly indestructible. Now on a Fanatec, though. How did you setup your wheel and base (with FanaLab and in-game) so you get proper feel from the force feedback? Tried GTR2 again last week with my wheel, which was pretty underwhelming because of how the wheel and pedals felt. Anyway: keep up the good work! Your productions are of high quality to me and I really appreciate your coverage of history as well 👍😄

As someone who loves endurance racing and stupid big grids GTR2 speaks to me kinda like raceroom does but more specific. The graphics are at a not horrible level and they don’t get in the rid of a crap ton of cars, full time progression, and a good frame rate. Can’t wait til I can get a PC with literally any ability to do gaming on so I can finally try it out.
