beautiful graphics and the physics are spot-on. the 3 demo cars handle very differently. the cougar needs throttle-steering around the corners to really bring it to life and you really feel like you're right on the edge of control, the wrx is stable in the straights, but needs a little more love in the corners due to the understeer, and the ferrari has very predictable handling, but is a beast to tame. simulation steering is absolutely the way to go if you're good on the sticks or have a wheel. i can't say enough about how happy i am that there is an option this year for NO assisted steering. if i jerk the car into a wall this year, it's my own fault.

my only concern at this point is the difficulty. with ALL of the assists off, including abs, everything set to simulation (steering included), and the ai on medium, i routinely spanked the second place driver by no fewer than 10 seconds each race. haven't tried expert yet, but i'm afraid it's going to be similar to last year where medium is too easy and expert is too difficult.
