What would be the best track and car to start learning with? Got a month off of work so I will try this game again.TIA
I would go for the Glen. Short enough to learn the racing line quickly and just one difficult corner.

Besides not being overtly hard and long, it's the most modern track in the game, which lowers the learning curve for people who are familiar with modern F1 sims. Monza's OK too, perhaps even a tad too simple. The Glen is IMO hideously difficult for newbies. The two braking zones are some of the hairiest in the whole game, and the oddball crowning causes extra trouble for newbies. +Cinquo
I agree with your assessment on the Glen. Although I'm no record-holder, I'm no newbie either, and I never really could get the Glen mastered for the reasons you state. Ville V Sinkko wrote:

Sorry Guys, but two assessments that the Watkins Glen is easy!!! The huge crown into the braking zone for the right hander before the back straight is a nightmare, and the braking zone into the back S is pretty hairy if you want a decent time. Or maybe It's just me? See ya all Ian Bell "Kevin Clark" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > jeepcj7 wrote: > > > > What would be the best track and car to start learning with?

silverstone is a nice learning track. And I find the eagle a very easy car to drive. Mainly because of its long wheelbase.
