Twilight Zone??

I've been playing GP2 for 2 solid weeks now,so I switched back to ICR2,just to keep up to speed on it. Now,I'm finding that I can't turn the ***y cars,even at a crawl,they will go straight ahead on a corner,unless I almost stop!...since plaaying it last,I've upgraded it and added the new car and track A1 etc for the NASCAR tracks I am running on ICR2... Was it always this mushy in the front-end,or have one of the upgrades,done a dirty deal on me(or is it because I've been playing GP2). Has anyone else experienced this???...It's almost unplayable!! Would appreciate any thoughts,anyone has. Thanks, John. -- * * * I love a Sunburnt Country.. * *

Just my opinion, mind you, but I have always noticed that ICR2 is that way. I have never been able to get any enjoyment out of the "road courses" with it. It is simply NOT that hard to keep a car in a corner/curve. In ICR2 you sprint to the corner, almost stop, crawl through the curve, then sprint to the next corner and so on. GP2 is vastly more smooth in producing what a car handles like, and, for that matter, it is a great deal more fun as well. Ducking and heading for cover. JEB in Vegas PS love ICR2 on the ovals...did I mention that...hehehe

I really enjoyed ICR2 on the road courses, but could never manage the ovals! Can't please everyone all of the time, I guess <g> I _did_ enjoy going round Loudon in ICR1 with boost set to 9 & foot to the floor. Way too easy of course, but it did create some great moments coming up to a bunch of back markers <G> Richard

Just a thought, but have you been using steering assistance with GP2? Richard

I really like the 'rhythm' (sp?) of the ovals. Those back straights at Michigan at 230+ are great. I also like the drift of getting off the gas and not using the brake to 'cruise' through the oval turns. Drafting is another great point of ovals. Focus is another aspect of the ovals that is great. When racing an oval your concentration really gets going. I've run into the wall on several races when someone in the room spoke to me, breaking the focus. Also think that there is a lot of strategy in ovals. I'm not saying more, just a lot of strategy. JEB in Vegas
