Fujimi Kaido looks so good and it looks like some S-bends were added to the New York track.

Hil (IGN Editor) current career stats as of a few days ago.

Quote:

Distance driven: 1330 miles Number of races: 175 Time driving: 16hr 14 min Percentage of career complete: 12.7% I should note that I am 1/3 of the way through season 5 (of 6), but each season is longer than the last and the most races are now 12-20 minutes long each. So my time driving for each race is easily double the earlier seasons, plus there are more races making up events. I drove 552 miles in season 4, which was roughly equal to what I drove in seasons 1-3 combined. The career complete %, I believe, is calculated on the total events won (out of 220). Events are 3 to 11 races each (maybe more in season 6). 100% might take a billion hours.

Is it me, or is there no real sense of speed in those videos? Doing 90 mph should feel fast, in those it's like your trotting along.

Sense of speed looks great to me. Are you streaming them? The streams are encoded at 29fps. Only the download versions are encoded at 60fps.

It's good to see the fantasy Maple Valley among the list above track list. For some reason the layout of MV reminds me a lot of Brands Hatch, but there hasn't been any confirmation of its design being inspired by a real world circuit (i.e. Blue Mountains Raceway -> Bathurst).
