From my understanding the effects of the patch do go into effect but you have to restart to get any of 2011 stuff

I finally got to try the patch last night. I'm strictly an offline guy and noticed the improved difference. Bump drafting is easier, qualifying is harder, cautions come out, etc. It's been a while since I've played so I'm having to get used to the driving model again, especially since I've been playing EA's Nascar games lately. I may have to swallow my pride and use an assist or two for now.

But overall, I see an improvement and think I'll have fun with this one.

I have to agree...the little bit of time I spent with it I saw major improvements

I like how you can race with whatever season you want to, 2010 or 2011.

The racing is better itself but online is still buggy as all get out!

Yea I like the improvements. Bump drafting still needs some work as a few other things such as improved A.I. but overall I have to say the patch fixed the major issues. The game is playable now and that is a good thing!

Online I hear is a mess but as long as offline is good then I am happy. I have iRacing for online so maybe that is why I am not too upset about it.

Cautions are still not quite right. People have mentioned the fact that even if you're the cause of the caution the game lets you restart from your position before the spin/crash. The other thing I've noticed is that the caution won't come out if you are not actually right on the track. If you spin and end up in the infield or on the apron, no caution comes out. In real life the caution comes out anytime a car is turned or stopped, regardless of whether it's on the actual racing surface, at least on ovals.

I do like the game though. I've always run shorter races with no pit stops so the AI pitting issues doesn't bother me. I no longer always qualify up front and the races are pretty fun.

Do you guys use the default car setups or are adjustments needed to compete on the higher difficulties hard and very hard? Thanks.
