If you already know this, I apologize, but a Sprint Cup car will have camber settings that literally rotate the top of the tire in or out, so that when you are under weight at speed in a corner, the tire rotates back to being flat. This creates an issue where the car will naturally pull to the left on a straight, since it's built to turn left. That requires a driver to pull to the right to compensate while going down a straight. If you're not accustomed to that, it can create a 'fishtail wiggle' as you go back and forth trying to keep it straight. On a gamepad especially you have to get used to moving the stick over about 5 degrees all the time just to go straight--and some tracks are worse than others.

I picked up a copy at lunch. I may just leave it in the wrapper and focus on the new Tiger Woods/Masters that I picked up as well. Too bad because the pre-release commentary and videos in this thread were so positive and had me really looking forward to some NASCAR.

NO, some problems on PS3 also, let me think..

Cautions don't come out when they should, the bunching in corners..... it still puzzles me that there is no option to fix any damage when you make a pit stop... Also had the game freeze once.. some wrecks are not realistic,

is there a way to get a photo from ps3 to computer from the psn.com?

yes...even with the patch...if I could upload a photo I took I could show you a crash that happened with no caution..

Also I really don't enjoy getting a about 1 second head start if I am on the pole, and getting front end damage, when I brush the wall..

I don't know how to do that. My wife just picked my game up, now I don't know if I want to open it or not.
