Been getting speeds from 2kbs to 300+ on and off though so it may take a while

Just had a quick play and grabbed a few shots.Seems quite nice, very easy to drift and hold
it even on my 360 pad (cba to set up the wheel)
It will continue to improve no doubt.The sound seems a bit "buzzy" when other cars are near
and it may lack some of the grip people expect.
Great fun though.

Fame?



My verdict so far: Very understeery, and very buzzy as mentioned

It is still a Beta though so the finalised version will come after it's been thoroughly thrashed by the punters and feedback given

Just downloading now myself.

I think its very good

Handles well and the 1.4 gives a good feeling of the art of momentum conversation!

My only gripe is that it seems to loose speed when cornering almost like a brake is being applied...for instance on a fast bend which you take flat out you would expect to loose maybe a few mph's if you turned to sharp but I noticed a few times on the ring when it seemed to suddenly scrub off 15-20mph, anyone else experience that?

The 1.4 is a bit boring and understeery, the 500 is brilliant and oversteery, proper sideways action

Not noticed the slowing down around corners though?

I tried it on an oval and could not recreate it....will have a go at the ring again and post up the vids if I can

Now you mention it....

I've overcome the problem....R500's dont suffer the same "issue"!
