Are you on pc or PS4/Xbox?They may aswell employ me instead of mr collins.
What wheel have you got?
I have PS4 and Thrustmaster t300rs and was hoping this would be as good as Assetto Corsa.
PS4, logitech g29
I wouldnt bother playing until day 1 patch installed, otherwise limited to mclaren 720 and 1 track, graphics poor etc
Seemed improved after patch but wheel still still nowhere near what it should be
I had assetto corsa for ps4 and that was like an unfished game, returned it within a few weeks and thought pc1 was more realistic but on pc1 I only use the e30 m3,atom,porsche gt3 mainly at oulton
Oulton on pc2 looks like the cars too big for the road and the straights dont seem long enough.
Nismo gtr sounds well, thought the gt3rs would be better but will have try the race cars tomorrow
So it would help if someone finds a realistic setting for g29
Its like the weight of the wheel goes heavy when slidding but it should be light etc
Will have a proper play sunday night

I think Assetto Corsa is amazing to drive, I can nderstand the wheel going light when it understeers like a real cars would, I suppose it goes heavy to simulate g force and or the wheight of the car like Assetto Corsa does?I wouldnt bother playing until day 1 patch installed, otherwise limited to mclaren 720 and 1 track, graphics poor etc

I'm just speculating though, I'll have to see how it drives tomorrow!

Just had a quick blast
Flavour: Informative
Gain: 90
Volume: 45
Tone: 75
FX: 20
E30 bmw at oulton
Still not as good as project cars 1, and cant really see any other settings to dial it in
Graphics are not as smooth
Cars look a bit big on the track
Oulton park seems different, visually, track width, straights, etc looked perfect on pc1 and to top it off the sounds of the e30 are better on pc1
Hope you guys can find a better setup, pace wise low 1.43s with 5laps, all aids off

Humm lapped twice in the only race I can play while the patch is downloading. Who knew the new McLaren understeers horribly and the brakes lock up at the nearest sniff of the brake peddle.
Not boding well for this being any good a game on first impressions.
Hopefully using the wheel and the patch things will improve.

Initial impressions on PC:
Graphics - immense, looks stunning and the weather effects are amazing
Sounds - perfect, cars sound just as they should and don't sound fake at all
Gameplay - Cannot fault, there's so much to do and take part in. Really looking forward to progressing through the gt type cars.
Controls - Not quite there, I'm using a G27 and haven't quite found the sweet spot. I seem to have decent weight to the steering but I have no feel for the front wheels losing grip or any feel of kerbs and rumble strips. I suspect it needs a tweak my side. As a side note, the braking seams to be broken. Even with abs set to high and sensitivity set the minimum, at half brake pressure I'm locking wheels.
The control feel is a real shame, the have assetto Corsa nailed in all aspects bar the feel of the game and for me that's the most important part. No doubt I can sort these controls out but I hope the braking issue gets a patch.

Tried with my wheel and frankly this game is utter turd. Deleted and will be selling on.
If GT is also rubbish I think I’m done with racing games. I don’t know how, but TOCA and other games if it’s I’ll managed to be such more playable on a ps1 than the graphical master pieces of today.
I can happily peddle a real car round a race circuit at a good, if not lap record setting, pace. In this I can even do a lap in anything without at least one off into grass.

What cars have you tried, it's a pretty mixed bag tbh...
I'd recommend starting the slower stuff until you get a feel for it, I'm a big fan of the Escort RS1600, I drove the Ferrari 330/p4 and Lotus 40 from Historic GT class and they were good. I'm not a big fan of the GT3 cars, but I know the GTE cars drive very nicely...
It's a long way off being a turd. It's in a much better place than the original. game was at this stage of it's release.

Just gone to my standard Cars 1 test track and car. Ginneta GT4 and Brands Hatch National.
For some reason I am not finding this as fun as the first game, the car seems more predictable but also seems to have lots of understeer. Everything also seems to look a but well dull, attention to detail seems to be less than the previous game. Sound is just as good and some of the weather effects are pretty cool.
I am going to give it a few more goes before making a final decision but at the moment it is hovering towards the Steam refund button.

This is exactly what I did after an hour of frustration. Picked Brands Indy and the Ginetta Junior because that was the combo I used most in PC1. Dire. Like driving on ice constantly. I couldn’t string a single competitive lap together in an hour of trying. Fails the enjoyment test for me and seems worse than PC1 was on release day.
