If hard = realistic then for sure. If it legitimatly says
"Simulation" on the box then you know what your in for.

  I remember how humbling GPL was when I first began with it. After
being a multiple ICR2 Champion and World record holder at a few tracks I
never expected to take that sort of a beating to be honest :) But I now
feel almost as comfortable at the wheel GPL as I ever did with ICR2.

  I also remember being disappointed when it was revealed that GPL would
not ship with full use of the GP2 and GP3 cars in championship and
online modes because it was obvious that many newbies and casuals would
be detered by the difficulty.
