Dissapointed with CART

I just purchased CART racing from Microsoft and I must say that I'm
dissapointed.  (yes, I do have the new patch)
This game is a far cry from any Papyrus racing sim I have ever played.
Indycar Racing that was published at the brisk of the pentium era was
not as spectacular graphics wise, but it sure beats CART Precision
Racing.  
Microsoft better do something about all of the glitches cause the game
just really really sucks.  The crashes are awful, no matter how hard
you may hit something you never seems to get more damage than a lost
front wing and possibly you loose a wheel.  Your opponents don't seem
to mind getting hit and just keep driving with no effect from the
crash.  
You also start the sessions moving in you car which is really
dissapointing and when in pit lane, the awful Rev meter noise makes me
wanna puke.  
The "Race" camera feature has one bug where the camera picks up cars
from behind walls and trees no matter how far away you are from the
camera.  Also when using the replay feature you sometimes have no
sense of speed when all you see if the fence, road, grass and you
car-the same taxture is displayed without moving!!
As with the older games, two cars still get stuck to each other during
small or large impact collision.
And another thing: sometimes I loose all sense of speed while driving
the car which makes the game, excuse my language, equivilant to shit.

C'mon Microsoft, I know you can do better.  Do something about this
product because it makes you look realy bad.  And really, how much did
you bribe the computer magazines to rate you so good?

thanks for you time...

In the magazine publishing world, they use a euphemism for the word
"bribe": it's called "advertising".

BTW, if go to DejaNews and look back through the many threads on this
subject (CPR), I'm afraid you'll find that your plea to Microsoft will
fall on deaf -- more like nonexistent -- ears...
