1) The patch is quite the improvement!

2) How the hell do you restart the car after you have stalled the engine?

3) Still had a weird graphics problem in the driving school (GeForce2 GTS)
and then later it booted me out of the game.

4) You can drive the oval at Indy :)

Go back to the pits, just like in real life? These
cars don't have starters do they?

If you're fortune to be stuck on a slope just hold in the clutch and
start rolling and at the speed of 10 mph release the clutch and of you
go.

I finally gave up and switched on clutch assistance again... After half a
dozen or so "Wow! So THIS is how stupid you feel when you stall the
engine!", the novelty sort of wore off... :)

Actually, I am not sure. I thought they did, like CART, NASCAR, etc. But
if they don't, then I'll just have to be more careful!!!!!!!

Just wanted to make sure I wasn't misreading the manual or they forgot to
print it.

You could drive the oval at Indy before the update Steve Paradise

No, F1 cars, champcars and indycars don't have starters. But in CART
the courseworkers are allowed to push-start a car if it's not
damaged. A really lame rule that leads to too many yellows on roadcourses.

I am sure you could--I never bothered to play it because the graphics sucked
and no FFB--but I knew the patch was coming. However, the points weren't
meant to be all related to the patch, though the way I listed them it could
be construed that way.
