   Yes, specially racing games are highly realistic these days... but I think
most of the work to get that realism is not done "on the fly", but it's
baked into the textures.

   Indeed... and I used some of the best tracks of the game! ...but TORCS is
not really about realism on the graphics, but on the racing experience. And
at that it seems very good to me... although I didn't play any recent
commercial game to compare with.
