Ok, I haven't had a ton of time with the game, probably logged a couple hours of race time so far. I like it a lot so far . I currently have ABS, Stability, and Traction all on. Damage and mechanical failures off. Tire wear and fuel is set to real. I run with a clean screen, no line no nothing. I love how this game lets you turn the hud off and on using the D pad, shift did this also.

For now I'm still learning the game. I'm running solo races against the A.I. , I have them on 60. I run ten laps 19 cars plus myself on the track. I like to start in 20th and work my way though the field. I've won two races , usually finish in the top 5 or just outside the top 5. I find it like most racing games I cruise through the pack fairly easily until I get up to the top five cars, then it's a race. Back and forth, I pass them, they pass me.

My favorite cars are the GT cars, the BMW GT Z4 GT3 and the Ford Zackspeed Capri Group 5 are two of my favorites. Watching the replay of 20 of those Fords on Watkins glen is as real looking as a race on TV. Impressive visuals for sure on the PS4.

Once I get more time in I'll be upping the laps to at least 25 and getting tire and fuel wear so I have to pit at least once or twice per race. I'll be putting some serious time in today. May try out the career mode.

Swallowed by pride and I turned on the abs, traction and stability aids on. Having a blast... I won't be turning them off until I can use a wheel. AI on 80.

I haven't been able to do anything aside from the quick race at Dubai. How long is the install time? I deleted the game last night to reinstall, but it's still taking forever to install.

I've downloaded the Day One patch, too. Still no dice.

after spinning out many many many many many times, tweaked my controls and the car settings and adjusted my playing style to this game and i can say im getting the hang of it. i smashed formula gulf and got a contract offer from 3 formula c teams and 2 gt4 teams. i think im going with formula c

As for the assists, I use the real setting. Cars equipped with the assist systems in real life will have them in game.

Awesome feature!

Interesting idea, I didn't know that's what that option does. Might have to give it a look.

I swear I can smell the fuel and tires from time to time

How long do you practice, qualify, and laps? Just curious what settings people use. Right now I do 10 minutes for both practice sessions, 30 minutes for qualifying and 25 Laps for the race. It really tests my concentration.

Damn dude - That is an investment

Especially if someone comes to ask me something while I'm racing. Usually, I end up doing time trials instead.

That's actually sort of related to a question I want to ask (because I assume you're only running with a very small amount of gas to qualify) - Does it seem like tuning your car gives too much of an advantage over the AI? What level would be best for someone who doesn't really want to mess with the car tuning (at least for now)?

After hearing some upsetting news from my X1 friends, I'll be picking up the PS4 version today. Thought my friends were getting, but oh well.

Looking forward to see how bad I truly am at this game.

I've actually been skipping practice. just jump into Qualifying.

for my "main" season races(karts, super karts), I've been doing 100% race length at 90% AI. 10% length @ 80% AI for the other races. Hopefully will be moving on from the karts now though.

I finally got the game on Thursday and am really enjoying it so far. I'm bad, but the novice settings help me a ton. One thing that blows me away is how differently each car handles. I'll pick a car randomly and spin out through most of practice, then do alright in the race.

Any suggestions on cars to help me with handling? Everything feels really sensitive when I try to turn, even with sensitivity turned down.

Check out the settings thread. There are some good ones. JohnnyDangerous settings are my go to settings now.

I've got about 12 hours of gameplay in so far and the ratio is about 3-1 online to career. I can already see where I'm going to want to spend most of my racing time.

Feel free to hit me up if there is any OS action going on (PSN: Fraserburn17)

Why do you recommend starting with super carts?

Career mode is a teaching tool. That is why practice sessions make all the difference.

Walk before you run I guess

I agree about walking before you run. I was going to start with the lowest level carts. Do they allow you to do practice sessions as well?

Same for me. Hopefully this is addressed soon with a patch.
