Honestly I'm actually very dissapointed with the tracks and how they look.
The textures are sometimes VERY VERY POOR and I'd have to say the 2-D people poluting them look horrendous.
The best environments by far are those of Project Gotham Racing 2.
They are 3D, have much better textures, reflections off the glass, fantastic lighting in the distance, and great drawing distances.
It unfortunately leaves GT in the dust. 👎
