DTM Race Driver 2

Quirks and Features

No tuning, practice, or qualifying in Career mode (a bit unfair sometimes, especially when a car's setup is all wrong).
Limited choice of championships in Career mode (2 choices at most, but sometimes no choice at all).
No onscreen mirror (need to press a button for rear view).
In Free Race mode, the Vehicle Setup screen doesn't show which car or track you're setting up for.
Fewer cars than DTM1.

Includes more cars than just the DTM touring cars, and includes more championships than just the DTM series.
Works with the Logitech Driving Force steering wheel and allows adjusting the strength of force feedback.
Some humor added to the RPG stuff (it's not all as serious as in DTM1).
Free Race mode allows you to customize championships (races, race length, qualifying, ...).

There are basically 2 modes of interest in DTM2: Career mode and Free Race mode. Most of the fun is in Free Race mode, but you'll need to go through Career to unlock the Free Race championships.
In Free Race mode with Qualifying on, you may have to do a Super Pole session in some championships (DTM, V8 Supercars, and maybe others).
In Free Race mode with Qualifying and Vehicle Setups on, qualifying and racing setups are separate, so you'll need to tune the car at least twice per championship.
In Free Race mode, when it says "Complete 10 championships to unlock", it means win all the races of 10 championships (only 1st-place finishes count for completion).
