Anyone else play?
Just got started over the weekend. Fantastic sim. Wonder what took me so long.
As a weekend track junky during the summer months, I have to say that, for those circuits which with I am familiar, they did an absolutely superb job mimicking every single detail, no matter how minor. The cars behave, at nearly each point on the track, exactly how they would in real life.
The attention to detail is impressive - from changes in surface (concrete/asphalt/epoxy) to the vehicle dynamics, to the correct advertisements (no copyright infringement??) positioned exactly where they are actually located around the circuits in real life. Sitting in the pits at Summit, for example, and looking left or right (TrackIR, too!), *everything* is exactly where it should be - I thought it was wild!
Ran my first full race on Sunday (MX-5 Cup / Laguna Seca) and had a blast. Grid 8th, finished 5th. Good, clean, safe racing (read: no demolition derby; open communication when passing) and, to this point, so far as I can tell, a great, helpful player-base.
I am still figuring out the system of joining specific races, if organized (as opposed to what is "available"), and I still only have a Rookie license (2.73 after last night, IIRC) but would love to mix it up with some of you Spit dweebs. I know we've got plenty of car nuts here - are there any sort of specific, player-created leagues or "squads" in this game?
How do I hook up with you all?
