1) The canned spins are absolutely ridiculous! It is impossible to control.
The rear end goes whenever you go off the track on a bend and that is it!
Totally unrealistic.
2) The save game is also ridiculous. In a championship, you can save (and
quit) from your current position, but it can only be reloaded once. The same
position cannot be reloaded again as if you quit from a race you are
automatically moved on to the next one with your 'saved' championship being
overwritten! BTW there is no 'file name choice' or anything like that.
3) The understeer on certain circuits is unbelievable! Worst of all, there
is no steering adjust in the garage.
4) The communication with the pits is a total 'strategy wrecker'! If you
want to change the amount of fuel or tyres to change from your original
strategy, it can be done, but by wasting precious time fiddling around in
menus in the pits in REAL RACE time! This problem was also in F1RS which
I'm pleased to say Ubi rectified in MGPRS where hitting F12 brought up a
menu during a race which could be paused.
Have these Eidos guys never heard of radios?
Hmmm..... rrevved?

Completely agree, just some small correction... you can always press
'p' for pause in both ubisoft titles while sitting in the pits, make
your adjustments, confirm with enter and press 'p' again to proceed
with the game. No need to waste precious time :)
