Pretty well covers it, but..

It's a PC based game. Because it's fairly old it isn't extremely processor hungry. You can play it in varios levels of graphics detail depending on your machine. You WILL need a steering wheel and pedals, it's next to impossible with a keyboard.

You can probably find the basic game on CD-ROM for about $10. I think you can download it online even. The add ons such as extra tracks, better car details, improved sound, etc are all downloads. I don't recall the sites off the top of my head but they are very easy to find with a quick search.

Don't blame us for the late nights staying up trying to shave 0.05 seconds off your Monza lap time. You will be addicted!
