Hey guys,
I've been playing the game for a few hours now. The first point of call being to turn all aids off and difficulty onto expert!
I just want to ask really...are people struggling with corner exiting? I'm ok with entry speed but I find it massively difficult to control the car when accelerating out. Yep I know there's no traction control but I'm wondering if its because I'm using a controller on the PS3 that the game is really punishing me?
It took a good couple of hours for me to get anywhere near the 23rd man's time driving in a lotus. Its taken me by surprise a bit after being so successful with previous titles that I'm so slow. I am finally competitive in bahrain but that's only because its the only track I've been driving since I got the game in career mode.
Maybe its my driving style. I tend to prefer to lean towards more understeer than having a nervous rear but is that just the nature of this game? I heard the handling was twitchy but sometimes the car is so tail happy even if I barely accelerate at all. I've found the only way to control the thing is to try and let the car coast through corners and only apply throttle when the car is dead straight.
Problem is that because I'm concerned that the car will spin, I'm losing time hand over fist by being so cautious. Don't even get me started on australia. I've driven that thousands of times yet I'm still 4 seconds off the pace of 23rd.
Any advice welcomed!
