How's the Lotus 97T handle in comparison to, say, the Formula Gran Turismo? That's the only open wheeler I have besides two karts, and I think it handles like a dream.
Really regret putting the game down a few months back, because I'm just now reaching the events that give me so many credits for winning (like the Red Bull special events) that I'm practically laughing at how easily I'll be able to afford more expensive cars if I just sit down for an hour to repeat the races a lot.
