Having been fully drawn in to the retro sims GP2 and ICR2 for the past couple of weeks, I thought it might be time to come back to something a bit more modern. I strongly praise the older sims for being immersive and making it feel like you are really taking part in a race, but most modern sims lack the AI and systems to do that over a long full-distance event. With 1.6 Reiza tried to fix some of those issues, and so the question begs, can it be immersive?

Strap in and hold on as I try to kick this Turbo monster around Montreal for 70 laps in a full-distance 1986 Canadian Grand Prix!
