That special Porsche thing is crazy. On hardcore those things are super tail happy, just hitting a bump wrong on the straights soon as you going round.
On hardcore with the wheel I've not found the handling that bad in general. It's 'simcade' for sure, but offers up a fairly believable driving experience and the FF is good, though I'm not getting any vibration even though It's on max? I've seen some reviews says it doesn't feel quite right though, so not sure if it feels less direct if you use a pad maybe.
I'm up for joining a crew/co-op play if there's anything happening anytime. DarkBahamut15 is my Uplay.
