Porkie,
No mate, I've played PGR2 loads as my mate has an X-Box + it aint really that realisitc imo, as I would've thought someone who's been there would agree!

The speed you take through some of the bends it crazy, or perhaps I'm just too slow round 'the ring'!!

The GT version looks loads better from the screen shots anyhow + I much prefer GT over PGR.
