No torrent yet as there is no official release of this... so you will just have to wait till its released

[benm]

Umm i've been playing it for 24hrs, another average game by Codemasters.

[stricko]

I havent played it on XBOX but ive played it on ps2 and it's awesome. definitely alot better than the first to v8 games. alot more realistic.

[2rismo]

Great game but I'd like to know why almost EVERY TRACK including inner-city street circuits has trees and/or mountains in the background AND why ECRaceway has a total up and down of about 3 feet?!!?

WTF?!!?

i played it a couple weeks ago at a mates place....found it interesting at the beginning, but its a game ud get ova pretty quickly, you have to clock the missions to unlock a track...for example, Bathurst.

There isnt a quick race wer u can choose any track, thats wat suks...cause i was lookin forward to racing on bathurst!

But graphics wise is pretty good, alot better than the previous v8 supercars.

[GTS4-32]

BTW, it was played on a PS2.
