I think I have turned off all assistance (except I run with auto shifting), but still if I give it full throttle on the grass it does not spinn immidiately as it does on the track, but only after a few seconds ?? Is there some off-track assistance I haven't noticed ? Very funny to drive anyway :-) I am not exactly a sim expert, going aroung Interlagos in a GT Ferrari, keep spinning it, with the AI at their lowest I have got it to position 9 sofar :-) Tried the Marcos also fantastic sound, cranked up well my subwoofer makes everything rattle, the neibours are going to love this game.... /JS

Watch it on replay or from an external camera as you do it (hit Page Down, I think) and you will notice what happens. The gras offers so little grip it takes a while for the spinning tyres to overcome the inertia of the car and get it moving/spinning. > Very funny to drive anyway :-) > I am not exactly a sim expert, going aroung Interlagos in > a GT Ferrari, keep spinning it, with the AI at their lowest > I have got it to position 9 sofar :-) Practise, young Skywalker. <g> > Tried the Marcos also fantastic sound, cranked up well my > subwoofer makes everything rattle, the neibours are going > to love this game.... The sounds are very good... the external ones are quite true to life as well. Very polished effort by the Simbin guys. Jan. =---

Do you mean that the car doesn't spin? That would be because the wheels are spinning and the car's not even getting enough traction to spin out.

I usually give it some revs with the clutch in and then pop it --> instant wheelspin. Can you describe your control actions exactly? Jan. =---
I think if you use clutch assistance you get the effect JS is referring to. Try it with and without and you'll see what I mean. Even on pavement there is a significant delay before can spin the wheels on launch with clutch assistance on. I would of course turn it off if you could restart the car after a stall!
