I was running a few laps trying to get this game running right at Laguna. Full version on HHD, game is back at M$ >;-) Patched up the thing and was in awe of the Non increase in FPS and the way NSSSE handles better than this thing. Anyway after ramming an AI guy who was going about going 5 Khm down the first strait at over 200 kph (The AI car stood there like a brick wall and i sustained zero damage) -Yes on Pro- I stopped for a bit in the middle of the track to let the other cars catch up...4 laps... so i could at least race something. MTM it felt like. As I sat there getting rammed "and not getting damaged" I noticed that if i press ever so lightly on the gas pedal with the brakes on a bit like you are going to do a brakestand... That the front wheels begin to move like the car is a friggin front wheel drive.. So I tried it alot and started laughing at the game "HOW ***ING STUPID" I thought as I sat there getting hit by all 12 full field cars and not I or one of them getting damage, No yellow flag coming out, And doing a brakestand "sort of" with the power going to the front wheels. I never know Indycars were 4WDs or Front wheel drives ;) Good game. LOL!!!!!

Most people have reported an increase in frame rates. I don't know why you haven't, unless you're just flaming. Hot tip: Turn on damage. Pro doesn't do that for you. And I would love to see that replay. The AI are too slow, but I haven't seen them just going at 5kph down 200 kph straights at any circuit. My views on the CPR physics model are widely known (and if you don't know them, check out www.digitalsports.com), but I think some of the comments you made are a bit over the top.

It's too bad you just noticed this. Most of us noticed 10 seconds into using the game for the first time. If everyone is as slow as you, companies will feel free to continue with these ridiculous oversights.
