So, I recently remembered among the video projects I was working on that I started on already months back. So, it was time that I finished it, the Ruf CTR2 in racing games. The only CTR that I haven't shown yet.

Hopefully, you find enjoyment in this video.

and if you want to see more of these videos, I have a full playlist of them here (Note: Not all videos are the same quality, growing pains were and are still occuring with this series).

I also decided to leave links to my other Ruf videos with the original CTR, CTR3, and 993 Turbo R.

Notes:
- So my extra bad driving in Top Gear Dare Devil was partially due to me being new to playing it, but it was mostly due to the game's driving physics being terrible. At least for this car, it just did not feel right driving this at all. Steering gave different results than what I expected, versus the much smoother experience in other games.
- Gran Turismo 2 was the first game to seemingly feature the CTR2. It made for a nice make-up for the lack of Porsche as an official license. Which other developers would also do later on.
- Forza Horizon 2 was sadly the last racing game to have the CTR2 since most developers would just forget about the make once Porsche's exclusive contract with EA ended. Kinda a shame most developers didn't continue using the license after that, there's no reason that you can't have both Ruf and Porsche in a game.
- Group S Challenge's footage was 480p resolution rendered at 1080p. Hence the jaggy look, it's the best I can do for it right now. I couldn't run it on an emulator and it wasn't a backwards compatible game for the X360 slim like other racers. So, I bought an original xbox plus an HDMI converter to play and record it.
