Chatham track, using any GT1 car (whether stock or modified fully), I can go
full speed, pedal to the floor through Turn 1 (the banked turn), and even
change lanes, and not a squeal from the tires or a wobble from the rear end.
For instance, tonight I got bumped badly from a GT3 car and wiped out, so I
had to go back into the pits to get repaired. When I got back on the track,
I saw red in front of my eyes and drove like a madman (and got a 31:13 lap
time too). Well, in Turn 1, there were slower cars all over the place, but
without lifting a foot, I was able to weave in and out of all of them at
FULL SPEED (200mph+). But while doing that, I thought to myself that I could
never have done that when driving on a real race track, no matter what car.
So needless to say, I am a bit disappointed by this. It almost makes it no
challenge at all.
Next point I'd like to make is the stupidity of the AI drivers. In a real
race, the race leaders have their headlights on, and the slower cars (lower
classes - GT2, GT3, GTQ) will, if safe, move out of the faster cars way.
Instead, in SCGT they seem to not pay any attention at all, or even seem to
GET in your way even more. And unlike in TOCA, the horn doesn't do anything
either.
Also, there is no yellow flags, or any type of signals at all in this game
except for the green, white, and checkered flags. And like with the leaders
using headlights, there is no flag (I think it is a blue, or blue with a
yellow stripe) to tell slower cars to move over for the faster car behind
it. SAD!
Lastly, I think it would be nice to have a pit crew voice that tells you
things like who is behind you, or who is the leader, or how far in front or
behind you are of the leader, etc. Sure there is that little arcadish line
at the bottom that shows what car is where (in a fashion), but does not tell
you how many laps ahead/behind, or which car they really are. Sometimes
those numbers are so tight together, you can't even tell who is where. Take
again tonight in my recent race. I had to pit, a bunch of cars passed me, I
got back out, and in a lap, I got back to 3rd place. But the car I passed to
get 3rd was a GT3 car!!! Seeing as there were 5 GT1 cars, this is near
impossible that a GT3 car could have been in 3rd if all the GT1 cars were
still in the race.
