The truly best thing about this game is how realistic it is.. and how you can do so many different types of racing. If you enjoy variety, this game is for you
Only fair...

This game is ok, but doesn't come close to Gran Turismo 3. My major complaint is the handling of the cars. It's very difficult to get a car to have really good grip, even at maximum downforce. A lot of times it's like driving on ice. Ok, maybe I'm exagerrating a little, but the handling is nothing like GT3, and I actually have gotten quite frustrated numerous times. And this is my experience from using the Logitech wheel, not a standard PS2 controller.
Other complaints: There is no rear view mirror (only a red arrow pointing backwards to where the car behind you is), no qualifying, no timer telling you how far behind (or ahead) other cars are while racing, and the series races are only 3-5 laps. Starting from the rear (which is usually where the CPU puts you), it can be tough to catch up in only 3 laps. Maybe it's better at the Lola World Championship level, but I wouldn't know; I still haven't been able to get there! But instead of being motivated by the challenge, I'm more frustrated and annoyed by the game's faults and shortcomings. By the way, it's not because I'm a bad driver either; with the Logitech wheel, plenty of computer racing experience, and a good bit of real world racing experience, I consider myself an above average racer, and I'm still frustrated.
On the plus side, the graphics are good, the replays are cool, and the cars have great sounds, different for each vehicle. Having so many great tracks is also a strong point for this game.
But overall, I think I'll spend a lot more of my "driving time" on GT3 rather than Pro Race Driver.
If you're into touring car racing, this is worth a look

Handling doesn't compare to GT3, but once you get the hang of how it feels, there's plenty to enjoy. Highlights include the real tracks and cars from the British, German and Australian championships, and the interesting interface for choosing which championships to compete in. At any given time you can have up to 6 or 7 choices about how to progress.
The AI in the other cars is really great. This about the only racing game where I end up shouting obscenities to the other drivers for boisterous driving. They will get mad at you if you push them off, and will call you names!
This isn't GT3, but hey, sometimes you need a break from the cool, relentless efficiency of GT3, and crave something a little more rambunctious. PRD is a good option...
