After playing the warez for a while im starting to think the physics model
is infact worse than gp2.

The understeer feeling is quite strange,and the car is really glued to the
track.
In gp2 you could often get wheel spin in  second gear out of slow
corners,and you were able to control it with the throttle in a blipping
action.

In gp3 its very hard to get any wheel spin at all,infact only in first gear.
This is very unrealistic as in modern cars,they are trying to stop wheelspin
and are always fighting the wheelspin.
I cant beleive this crap,im in a state of shock atm

I find the understeer fine, it's just what I expected from the grooved
tires. Lots of understeer in the slow bits, like the complex at Silverstone
for example. And very fast through the fast bits due to the aerodynamic
downforce. Especially with those default setups that use quite a lot of
downforce. A change from GP2 is furthermore that the reaction to taking of
downforce is far bigger. Driving around monza with 2-5 is totally different
now.
There definitely is wheelspin in higher gears, in the rain it's still there
in 4th gear. And in dry conditions I manage wheelspin in 2nd gear easily.
The only thing I really hate is the behaviour on those damn curbstones. I
really hope this is a beta (a 7 months old on like Will said at the High
Gear forum), and that in the final release it's fixed. A good way of finding
out is to see whether those texture problems are still there at Hockenheim.
I know for a fact the under the pit driving at Spa is there anymore (it was
a big reported in a review bij de spelletjesgarnaal) so that points to a
more recent version.

Gp3's driving model bears no resemblance to gp2s. This is a bad thing, very
very bad. Gp3 feels like f197 :(

I found I could still light the tyres in second gear
