Yep, very very impressive indeed! :)

The tyre and damage model work wonders! I wasn't expecting the tyre model to be so detailed! Rather than having wear and temperature for the tyre as a whole, it's divided into 16x3 sections each with their own... this means lock a brake and you'll get a flat spot (although it's not visible through vibrations, it does affect the handling). It's quality!

The sounds are pretty decent too. Way ahead of the S1 system.

This will do nicely until S2 arrives... surely can't be too far off now.

One thing that impressed me is that the side walls heat up (not sure if they damage, I'd imagine so).

Must admit, all the features on paper sounded very nice and all, but when it all comes together and you're actually playing it, it feels mega.

Aim for 1:30 flat. That was the around the better times of the guys up front. I've only managed a 1:32.something so far.

What car was that in Xero?
As for the GTi, I was managing 1:43's constant, but the quick guys were doing 1:41's (@ Blackwood GP circuit)

the S1 Setups dont load in this :(

who wants to share theres?

Im amazed at how much bettr this game is, its a massive step up. i spn a few times and heated my rears up and i couldnt for the life of me control the car after that, was great :D

the game has more grip without compromising how much u can slide the cars, im really impressed :D

Yeah, seems to have lost that floaty feeling S1 had in cockpit view.

As for setup, optimise fuel level and tyre pressures for the race distance, found me a good second or so.

thanks Justin never really played this game before but now after playing 3 or so laps this morning I can't wait to get home and try it out some more. I think i did a 1 min 55 but I need to set the car up.

this is quite a big leap from S1, and i am also very impressed.

i flukily managed a 1:30 something in the XR GT Turbo this morning, my normal lap times are normally 1:31 or 1:32, however.
