This ****ing game. Everytime I have a gentle collision with the AI, I ALWAYS end up in the tyres. There's absolutely nothing I can do about it. They seem to apply some infinite opposing force that always directs you at an unescapable angle into the wall. You have no idea how hard it is to overtake extreme AI on prototye okotuma when ANY minor contact results in death.

I'm glad that it's not just me then. This drives me mad!!

It doesn't seem to be an issue in all of the races. In muscle cars, for example, it doesn't seem to be a problem but in one Japanese GT2 series it's a complete nightmare. I think it must be codemasters trying to be clever with reality and failing.

It's such a shame that this game is so buggy cos it's really good fun.

If you nudge an ai car they hit the wall and carry on right behind you. If the opposite happens to you your car gets wrecked and you're in last place, if you can keep going.

I am getting a bit fed up with the lack of tracks epspecially in MP would be good it there was a map pack patch out soon

Bought this on Steam earlier, and had a quick go on it. Having not played many racing games before, I sucked bad. The number of times where I would be doing well and then I'd completely mess up by wiping out on some tyres or something!

Great fun though, and very nice graphics

Lol, I just won a 12 man DD by wrecking everyone and then driving round alone

That's what Instant Replay is for :confused:

I had many bumps and collisions etc. when overtaking and found that it isn't that bad, but I am only on season 3 so far so maybe it gets harder later on?

I guess i just find it annoying that it's completely different from online, where if someone starts leaning on you you can push back and wrestle them away. Whereas if you get nudged by a savage AI, there's basically nothing u can do except hit rewind and start again because they are just so strong.

Does a 'season' always end with the Le Mans 24 hour race?

Is it just a case of making enough money to get a 2 million sportscar like an Audi and use that to win Le Mans?

Or is there other stuff to unlock or win that is interesting?

Anyone having trouble connecting to multiplayer?

Yes if you'd have listened to the intro when you first started career mode you would know each season ends with Le Mans

I am trying to win each class in Le Mans and compete each year in the same class until I win - then move up to next class and so on.

I did, honest

Frapple · 26 Jun 2008 at 18:14

Le Mans is dire, almost as bad as F1 as a 'sport'

Just skip it every season, it's a yawn-fest.

MMD · 26 Jun 2008 at 19:05

Funny how it's hailed as 'the pinnacle of your career' to win Le Mans, when really it's usually old washed up racers keeping their hand in who compete. Villenueve's (sp?) team came second this year, that gives an indication of the level of competitiveness!

Endurance racing is a different kettle of fish though and requires different disciplines.

If I win the Le Mans race in the class I can earn 186k if I beat the target, won't I miss that money later on if I skip?

Nope, by season 10 ive get every available car in the game, im getting ~700k/event in sponsorship money plus the prize money itself and have about 50mill in the bank with nothing to spend it all on.

Ive skipped Le Mans 6 or 7 times so far as i hate the track and i dont plan on racing it again unless it come up in an MP event.
