Codemasters announces that TOCA Race Driver 3 is screeching into stores:

New York (Feb. 24, 2006) – TOCA Race Driver 3 hits the streets today and gamers can take a final test drive with the new multiplayer Windows PC demo, now available to download from http://www.codemasters.com/tocaracedriver3.

This new TOCA Race Driver 3 demo takes the PC edition online with up to 12 simultaneous players competing for tire-burning victory. Who will fare against the fiercest players in events featuring Mercedes C-Klasse cars in a heavyweight DTM race at Hockenheim, Racing Renault Clios in the Autosport Clio Cup at Brands Hatch or competing in a stock car event with Dodge Chargers at Indianapolis?

The demo is just a taste of the wealth of online and offline racing content that’s crammed in TOCA Race Driver 3. Featuring an incredible 120+ championships spanning 35 different motorsport disciplines, TOCA Race Driver 3 delivers the most motorsport ever.

Too bad it still uses very simple arcade type physics.. a shame really.

sorry but the handling of the cars is awful as BWX says.

it could have been brilliant... but its crap.

there is currently still nothing out there that shapes up to Richard Burns Rally.

and i mean NOTHIN ;p

no... gt ledgends and gtr from simbin i would consider have the same greats physics and RBR.

the new gtr game will even be better though

even the AI needs to get adjusted to tack conditions, ie first lap at race is slower then gets faster since tires get hot, grip increases on track, leaning curve for AI for a few laps etc.
each tire has its own temp. etc.
I forgot the article I read from gamestar (german game magazine) they only visited simbin here a few weeks ago (simbin is 1 hour away from me

)
that game will be a lot better then the first gtr and gt legends.
expect the new standart for racing games to be GTR 2.
summer release (hopefully)

I think GTR/LFS/GTL/rF all have really good physics (not in that order), but really, nothing compared to RBR in FEEL, not for me anyway.

They were really going for something completely accurate - as much as current PC technology will allow. To me RBR is something special.. but then again, you can't compare it to GTR/rF/GTL/LFS really because it is only a rally sim, nothing else.
