Can you race 2 player with 43 cars on the track? Offline of course.

I started out using the GT5 Driving Force wheel I bought for GT5, and if you ever played GTR2(on the PC), thats how tight and responsive the wheel is. It's FF is good, but I love the tightness and responsiveness of it.

Last night and today, I have raced with nothing but the controller. I love how you feel so connected with the track, and how closely dialed-in you are, when it comes to feathering the gas and brake. You can truly steer your car around the turns with your gas and brake, as it should be.

It really is a win-win either way...IMO

And what tire/fuel wear are you using (standard or one of the accellerated) and how is that doing for need for pit stops? Unless I am missing something (or my math is off), it would seem that if you were running 20% and did x4 tire wear, that would nearly equate to a normal race because you are running about 1/4 of the race (actually 1/5), but your tires and fuel is running out 4 times faster. So, at Daytona, if they typically run 50 laps on fuel/tire run, I assume that a 4x wear would mean that the fuel/tire run would be 12.5 laps. If you ran a 20% race (which would be 40 laps for the 500), you would have 3-4 stops. Is that how it is supposed to work? And does it?

thats a good quesiton, i was wondering the same thing

I have never seen an option to do so, when I quit a race early. If I am not mistaken, in the initial interview I did with Ed, I think that is something they are trying to get in next years version

It really is all about expectations and perception. There are going to be people who get it tomorrow, and just don't care for it. They were expecting something else, or something more...and that's their right. You will have people who think it's ok, and some people who will love it. I will stand by my my word though, as I love this game and think it's the best NASCAR game to ever hit a console!

It really is dependent upon your area. I know my local one is, but I know others that are not. I just want to pick up TW:Masters Edition, so I will be there tonight. I really thought more GS's would as you have WWE All Stars, NASCAR11 and TW:Masters Edition

No opening for midnight at Gamestop for me. I will be there at 10am sharp to pick my copy up!!

Blue, Senor Nascar, or anyone else with the game got some questions.

1. What is the length/percentages of races online?

2. Have you all raced with the Xbox Wheel? How good is the FF and response?

3. Is the patch live yet?
