We all remember TOCA from the PS1 right? It was a good game that really brought us our first feeling of true racing sim games. It had the lot, great graphics, totally destroyable cars and massive tracks. But the one thing that i remember is the at times dodgy control system where you would spin on corners if you put your foot down on the gas. As you will know this was slightly annoying and seemed to me to carry on a little throughout the series, though i never got the last one that was released.
Looking on the upwire news: (http://special.reserve.co.uk/news/story.php?id=1474)
The new game looks great with really good graphics and the cars look very 'whole' and realistic. I just hope that its not let down by its predesors bad handling. Hopefully they will come up with something similar to GT3. But on what information that has been released this game looks like it could be the best TOCA to date, there is a rather large number of tracks there along with two of my favourites Silverstone and Donington Park, and other tracks from all over the world such as France, Germany, Italy and even America to name a few.
But also there are lots of cars as usual and there seems to be lots of different championships too which can only be good for the lastability rating. And if i remember rightly isnt there also a story mode in, similar to the one on Ridge Racer type 4? It can only make it better!
Should be good!

looks great doesn't it!!
This is a game I am really looking forward to!! Looks amazing!!
i thought the handling on toca was pretty realistic (not that i've ever driven a TOCA car) you had to be careful with your car instead of chucking it round corners which you wouldn't be able to do in real life. the new game sounds excellent and along with FFX and MGS2 is on my list of must buy games of 2002.
i guessed a game on this word come out, i even made a topic a couple of months before it came out about it, i love toca world touring cars, me and my brother will play 50/50 for this
When i got the first Toca i loved it as there was no other game out there quite like it, but as i played it more and more the control and handelling started to really put me off, i always seemed to skid off the corners if i put even only a small amount of acceleration on.
As the games went on though i began to like them more and more and the new one should be great!

if i ever win GAD again i will chose this if i win before it comes out
The TOCA games have always been my faves, The handling has improved with each new version - The ability to pull the car back into a straight line when you are just about to lose on a corner by just accelerating through is just awesome and makes for some great moments. Cant wait for the PS2 version to come out.
There is the first movie of TOCA up and running on next months PSW DVD!!!
