Is anybody experiancing an unreal push when passing??? Letting completely
off the gas doesn't even help the condiition. Only happens when passing.

It's not half bad, better than I expected (and I hate the IRL).
Default setup is bollocks, but if you get the car sticking flat out
all the way around you can have some nice dices with the AI.

Dunno if I'm impressed to the point of getting the PC version, but
I'll certainly pick the xbox one up when it's out.

I'm just waiting for somebody to make the (hopefully!) inevitable
comparison to the All-American Open Wheel Racing (AAOWR) mod for
NASCAR Heat . . .

Did anybody else find it ironic that virtually all of the independent,
third-party Heat mods have included Windows-style self-installers for
several years now, yet Codemasters and Brain In A Jar saw fit to
release a demo for their upcoming RETAIL product in a common zipfile.

Howdy JB; long time...

For some reason ;-) I have no doubt the wonderfully-named AAOWR mod will put
it to shame. Almost as many letters as the innately superior BPCWSPBF! But
being Heat-based, of course no one will dare admit it.

(harboring fond memories of*** onto a trimmed-out-for qualifying
champcar at Fontana way back when. Two laps flat were all you could get out
of it before the tires went off enough to make you lift. Lovely...)

Controller setup is a black art. Some games make it easy to do, some make it
as agonizing as pulling teeth. If one game doesn't work with the settings that
every other game you own DOES work with, which would logically get the blame?
Besides, you might not even KNOW there's a problem with a setting...especially
if that setting works with everything ELSE...
