Steve Blankenship enlightened us with:
Road racing - I'd suck at bicycle trials even worse than I did on the
motorbike. Which should help me doing plate tracks in sims; low power, lots
of drag, big packs. Really striking how much bike racing's like restrictor
plate racing. Use your teammates, find the right combination of guys to
work with, get a small bunch clear to the finish - and then it hits the fan
when you get close to the line... ;-)

Whether you like the game or not (I do - mostly), the whole advertising
campaign behind this title was terribly misleading.

I'm not kidding :)
I got warp-whammed in the rear, my car went flying (and flying and flying)
up in the air, and it NEVER came down!
It stayed up in the air, spinning and rolling. I could see out the
windshield and saw grass, sky, grass, sky, grass, sky, grass, sky....
Had to esc out of the game.
If you remember Viper Racing... At the default course (silverdale I think)
the field on the left at the S/F line.. .If you 4-wheeled out there and
drove off the cliff you fell towards the ocean forever and forever, never
falling back to earth.
This was the SAME thing :)

I guess what appears loose to one person may appear neutral to another.

that you write exactly opposite of just about anyone has ever posted about
setups & handling, including the Bob Stanly, and others. BTW, Bollinger has
been a round a freaking while.
But as i said, what seems neutral to one person may seem loose to another.
Ive also seen posts re. nsr saying its more realistic because you can
opposite lock to save slides. id say that if these people arent doing the
same in Nr2003 then they are letting the car go too far around before
attempting it.
