I hope the problem with the game is the controller code (everything seemed
to be either on or off, not in between) and not the physics, but I suspect
both.
Heres something comical to try if you dare go back and play the demo again.
Try keeping your accelerator foot flatly rooted to the floor, forget the car
ever had a brake. Try to steer as little as possible (it seemed to me that
even slightly left or right equalled full on handbrake left or right so I
tried not to bother steering). Now go round corners flat out and let the
tyres scrub some speed off. I went alot faster using this method than using
the brakes.
There was absolutely no feeling back through the steering wheel on my car
like you get in other games like GTR2002.... I am very worried. Problem is
that most magazine reviews don't look for things like physics when they
review. The eye candy seems to be the important thing. We'll have to wait
for some sucker to buy the game and posted his review here to find out
whether its worth buying.
Get your game sorted Codemasters.

PS. Doesn't bode well for the IRL game they're doing does it.
