Drive your way into the Academy

yea i know but aside from that it doesnt feel like driving a real car, which is what i hoped for in the game, i guess its cause driving a real car your body actually feels the G-Forces so you can act accordingly, oh well

Real cars have aids.

Yeah and you're going a bit faster in GT than in your usual. Unless you're a racing driver of course. Or just a rebel.

Yeah If you're feeling bummed about your performance with the wheel just go back to Prologue and have a shot with standard physics and mild traction control. You'll get the enjoyment for racing back I bet and find yourself getting better times than with a controller.

I agree it seems like you spin a lot easier in the time trial than in "real life" but you have to remember you are driving at like 150km/h + for most of the lap. If you're getting anywhere near those top times you're really driving on the ragged edge of available grip and far harder than you would be in a real car with the potential of death at every spin

HATE it when this happens

turn your *aides* off....ftw! i'm almost certain the pro's with the special wheels play with assists off!? i suck like a dust buster on the racers..... but i've heard those tactics give the pro's the edge! i hope a forumer wins! yay us!

[sidawg2]

To be honest i think you need some level of TC if you're using a controller. leaving it on 7 isn't a good move on the tuned car though

Oh man, if you're using a wheel make sure you go into the steering settings and change steering type from "amateur" to "simulation". Literally all I did was switch that and increase feedback strength to 8 and I immediately shaved 1s off my time in the road car and that was with a bit of booze on board as well. Seriously I don't know why those steering assists are on by default because they're more of a hindrance than anything else!
