its too easy and the cars are all mde of eiteh balsa wood or potato peelings as they all, you'll see them fly off in clouds should you scrap along someones side, like i say good, but too easy, i bummed they veyron for example by 20 seconds with a skyline on the S class world series. its only saving grace are the amount of lump/drivetrain changes, the graphcs aren't amazing the in cockpit view makes every car look like it was made by a korean firm. its an arcade game, but in easy mode. im glad they didnt let import your cars from forza 2 over otherwise there'd be nothing to do.

Whenever I scraped along someones side it wouldn't send the cars flying off into the clouds, now if you hit the side of a car then you might start losing traction, maybe that's what you mean.

I have no experience with the Bugatti, I don't have an interest in such a heavy car, and you didn't describe what was wrong with it in detail.

The cockpit view I thought was near perfect, no annoying special effects, no annoying zoomed too far out camera, you could actually see out of the car easily.

Any sim racing fan will tell you this isn't an arcade game, even Inside Sim Racing said it's starting to enter PC sim territory.

You're game might have been in easy mode but you can turn up the difficulty, on Hard I found it challenges you plenty.

Just bought a Veyron and Unlocked another straight afterwards ....grrrr lol well yeah the Bugatti has really poor handling and breaking but it seems fine after you upgrade to an R2 Type of car.. just a little hint the Aston Martin 450k is a top quality R3 car... :d

I just bought my favorite car (my favorite road car is the Lotus Exige)


Peugeot 908 HDi FAP...I love it. The cockpit looks like a space shuttle and it accelerates all the way to it's top speed of 216mph* like a bullet



*with as little down force as possible

Edit:
I thought this was an interesting scene with the diesels leading the pack and the normal petrol cars in the back drop

I just reached level 50 unlocked a Peugeot 908 HDi, sold my old 908 for 750 grand and bought a Toyota GT One for 2,000,000, and have 788 grand left over. Going to save up for a Peugeot 905 now.


Edit: Holy crap...took off the restrictor plate, the GT One now makes 952 horsepower and 760lbs of torque, rated at R1 987 too

Edit: I think this picture speaks for how fast the GT One is



That's 412 kilometers per hour :O


Edit:
I finished recreating this paintjob last night:

Here is it in-game









I've always liked the GT One's headlights, and styling over all. But the headlights look like lil bubbles, really cool.
