Is it me or there are only straights in this game......
All the screenshots either are renders or show only sttraights, no tight
turns, no hairpins just long straights that fade into the horizon line.

I am very sceptic about this game (or sim or whatever).

I've noticed this also, I think it's just due to the fact that straights are
easier to take shots of. There is one screen shot that has a 90 degree turn.
I'm not sceptical about this game at all, it will be awesome.

As you refer to it as a game.... we should be sceptical since this is a
simulation NG.

If that one screen shot you're talking about is the same as I've seen,
then that proofs nothing. That corner also has a road straight ahead and
you don't actually see the car go around the corner. It is turning but
still on the straight.

But that's not the reason I'm sceptical. I don't trust any really good
looking games/sims. The more time in developping is spend on graphics,
the less time is invested in realism. And realism is what counts most
for me.
