We should definitely get an OS room going. Even just practice laps since people (including me) are still working through getting "up to speed" with this game.

It may not be perfect "sim", but it is by far the best that I have experienced on console. I am also playing no assists and 80 AI. I have only been racing solo events with 20 AI racers and finished last every time except for the last 2 races, so I am improving. I am racing the same car, same track. I am addicting to getting faster and better with same car and track before moving on. One thing that really helped me was turning the racing line on for a few races to get a feel for brake points and speeds through corners. Then remove the racing line and try to match or beat your lap times with racing line on. It helped me quite a bit. Also useful for unfamiliar tracks. Also, anybody know how to get the rear view mirror to stay on in "HUD"? I have it on in the HUD settings, but it doesn't seem to be saving my settings. I have changed it during a race and back at main menu, but everytime I start a race, the HUD shows mirror "off".

Hit right on the control pad and you get the rear view mirror.

Raced with 6 OS guys last night, filled in AI for the rest, and never looked back.

For me I downshift into the gear I want before I enter the corner, remain in that gear until the apex then gently apply the accelerator pedal out of the turn until my wheels are pointing straight then I floor it and shift as normal. Having an appropriate line into a corner will also help keep your vehicle on the track. Are you using assists? I would have everything on until you get comfortable.

I use all the assists, but I use auto shifting not manual. I've been just doing solo races until I get more comfortable. The biggest change for me is going from FZ Horizon and easing on the throttle/brake.

Not bad, much better than my attempt. The thing was understeering like crazy for me. I'll try and give it another go tonight after work.

One thing that's a little irritating is having to go back to the main screen to acccess the options menu. That's really my only complaint at this point.

Got this today and I'm in struggle mode right now. Just started my career in the kart series and I'm having a hard time keeping my speed in turns. I'll have to adjust from all my drive club tendencies.
