That's great to hear. Thanks for sharing that.

Bumped up difficulty to 70 and it was quite the challenge.

Played a little bit of the PC version before work this morning. Not going to talk about graphics because that is obvious. Played using an XB1 controller and I can recommend spending time in the settings tweaking deadzones and sensitivities to get the feel. What i noticed, in that this is a sim racer and not arcade, On lap 1 of the glen in an M3 racecar, i couldnt do near anything in the corners. Once i got some heat in the tires, it was a different story. Anyone coming to this from a console perspective will have a slight change of pace. If you are used to things like iRacing then it will feel like normal. It is not a pure sim, but it is much more sim than the likes of Forza and GT. Can't wait to jump into the career mode and progress through.

Racing with the karts is a crapshoot. The starting grid for the 10 lap sprint race is drawn at random, and the order in which the sprint race finishes determines the grid for 15 lap feature race.

Also tried the LMP and F1 cars and I couldn't get the power down without lighting the wheels up.

Karts have been a struggle. easy to lose grip then instantly regain grip and fly off the track. going slower and taking my time seems to help. I currently have difficulty to 85, and 4 race(2 events, sprint, main) in the championship, 4 different winners. I finished 2nd, 2nd, 3rd?(I forgot actually), then 1st. has been sort of fun, but looking forward to moving on.

Played for about 3 hours so far on PS4 using the dual shock. Hard work after using a wheel on PS3 for so long, and will definitely be looking at upgrading to a TS300 asap. Game is great, nice visuals, sound is superb, AI is outstanding as long as you drive properly and show them some respect. Karts are a handful, but as long as you stay on track and don't try and open the throttle while on the rumble strips it is all good. Also tried one of the GT cars around Bathurst, and it is epic! Ran a single race weekend around Barcelona in formula A, and was super impressed. Helmet cam in the open wheelers is just brilliant. Loving the fact you can run a full race weekend and customise just about everything, even just sitting in the pits and watching the AI turn laps is great, as you can bring up their telemetry and see exactly how they are gaining time on you. Highly recommend this for anyone that loves racing, and is sick of grinding through GT or Forza to unlock more cars that you'll never use.

Seriously, this is the racing game I have been waiting for.
