Wow, I was literally about to get ready and go out to get the game. Thanks for posting this.

edit: Downloading now from here, maxing out my 20 meg. It'll be downloaded faster than I can get to the bus to go and buy it

Well, it's out today, and I could easily go into town and buy it. I just don't know whether I should, some people say it's alright, others say it isn't. Basically, I love GRID and play it all the time, mainly without driver assists, and want something newer, will this suffice?

Also a fan of Grid but the handling on this is very different. You'll need to learn to brake more before the corners.

I usually play my driving games from behind the car view but found it too difficult to correct the slides on this game. I'm using an Xbox 360 pad and found the cockpit view far easier.

Do most people use auto or manual?

The graphics just wow every time, having an E46 myself I found myself gazing at the inside and outside of the M3 for ages trying to find a fault.....I found one! And that's only the centre vent hot/cold dial, red should be at the bottom

Weeeeeeeeee!

And the cruise control on/off button should be indented. Well it is on mine anyway.

And the red is at the top on RHD.

Are car top speed not accurate? The veyron only goes 220mph maxed out here, it should go 253mph.

I seem to be getting that as well. I'm gonna do some checks on my FPS and stuff, but it is quite annoying.

The default steering dead zone is far too high for some reason. Turn this down to about 15%, and stick the sensitivity down to about the same.

The car might be tuned for grip/better cornering rather than all out top speed. I would double check the gearing as well.

well my friend says theres no fps issues in demo using 4850 cf mhh strange
