1) If you include bonus tracks and cars, make them proper cars and
tracks. I am going to buy Colin McRae rally because it has the
RS200, Escort RS and Audi Sport Quattro. So dump the Flexmobile
and Tank and give us an old Mini Cooper, Lotus Cortina or
Sierra Cosworth. And put them on Spa for the bonus track, not
on Lavaland.
2) Proper damage.
3) Make those helmets smaller. The pre-release screenshots look
like the cars are being driven by Power Rangers.

A whole lot less sensitivity for joystick users (even on the low
setting its far too twitchy.
Also ability to change resolutions (e.g. for V2 users - but you
probably already thought of that)
And the most important part
BATHURST. I know its not part of the BTCC, but given a lot of BTCC
racers are coming this year, as well as Australian, and maybe a few
New Zealand, German and Italian drivers, it would help to bring the
game to a more worldly audience (the same as Super Touring racing).

My only concern is that there will be so many new features that my ageing
P133 won't be able to cope! Can Gavin provide any idea on what system
spec they will be pitching at ?

I assume you've already read my post where I outlined all the things I'd
like to see in the game. I'd just like to say thanks for taking notice.
Cheers! Long live Codemasters :)

I don't think the helmets look particularly big in the screenshots. They
just need the colours dimming down a bit IMO.

2. Save game between heats. Sometime I only have time to race in one
heat.
3. Let us choose the number of laps we want to run.
SELL IT IN THE US.
Although TOCA did show the time interval to the person ahead of you, I dont
think it ever showed you anything if you were in the lead.
Minor thing to point out I know. But it does help to know how far you are
ahead of the field when you are in a long race, and are busy passing
backmarkers trying to make time for that mandatory pit stop.

P.S. Another vote to have it simultaneously released in Europe and the States
as well

1) An option to turn *off* the ghost car would be nice?
2) car set-ups? (eg: tyres, gear ratios, suspension, steering lock,
fuel load, etc) and the game should remember the car set-ups.
3) Replay mode?
4) Option to edit the car (and track) graphics?
5) Option to drive all around the circuit, even off road areas?
6) Damage accurately modelled?
7) Save game facility (anywhere in the game)

Hope This Helps (if it is genuine).
Codemasters produce the best games, by far.

BTW has anyone seen the Saitek R4 wheel in real life? It looks pretty
cool. Check out their site www.saitek.com.
