RacePro.
Bought for 25 quid special buy left on the shelf to long & grabbed by me.
Games getting pretty good now I am playing it on Pro & have worked up to some decent POWERRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Not been online yet though so comments only on Single player, Contact don't seem to much of a problem with the other cars but contact with the wall can have some dodgey results. Handlying is good enough to feel the car but not quite gritty enough for me & not enough feedback from the tyres. Even on Pro with no aids I can race bumper to bumper with the Ai without any issues, It is not stressful to be on the edge & racing is quite casual, Even hitting the kitty litter don't kick you to bad & there is enough grip to recover & get back on track without losing to much time in the race, maybe a couple of places dropped sort of thing.
If you can get it for 25 quid & like your racers then I would say it is a must have, Pay no more than 25 quid for it though.
I'll post back when I have straightened out a bit & have taken it online.

Good luck trying to get a game online. I tried for an hour one day and didn't get a race at all. Simply awful online system, especially as it doesn't have a lobby system at all.

Me and Nokkon are very nearly finished with RE5 Just got the very last battle to complete which is a pain in the arse We'd be doing it now but I've got to go out soonish so hopefully tonight we can give it another shot.
My opinion of RE5 has much improved since its initial slow and clunky start.

I've gone back to GTA IV and really enjoying it again. My one quibble is not having a check point system. I got a bit tired doing the bank mission again and again

Me and Nokkon completed Resident Evil 5 not long ago. Great experience I think the final battle did go on a little too long but I was impressed at Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!

the incredibly simple method of killing Wesker right at the end! The first part of it pissed me off a treat last night though when we couldn't figure out what to do in the Volcano.

End Spoiler Alert!

Definitely be going through that again. I want to do an Amateur run by myself and will be doing Veteran with Nokkon.

Now to write up my long overdue review of it!

I'm doing a Veteran run on my own, which is proving to be exceptionally easy so far thanks to unlimited ammo for my Magnum, it's killing everything in pretty much one hit. I'll likely need help for the Professional playthrough though, which is meant to be very tough at times if you're on your own

I'm amazed by how ridiculously easy amateur is now (played chapter 1 late last night as I'm trying to get it down to under 5hrs) and that was just with infinite ammo for the basic handgun, now I've got infinite ammo for the shotgun, it's going to be a walk in the park!
So might give veteran a shot to see how simple it is.
