If my car had any grip at all i would be amazed i feel like I'm playing faster bumper cars in dirt 1 i was a really good driver in this I'm the worst person to ever drive in the history of the sport i tried changing my settings to make the car stick more but i had to go around the track at no more than 40-50 kmh if i do ill just badly crash this is the worst racing game I've ever played it has no realism no joy in racing the drivers are incredibly hard on "very easy" their cars seem to made of alien parts capable of going around corners at light speed the brakes of their cars just make them go faster its like they get 4 turbos instead of breaks the tiniest bit of acceleration can make your car go straight right or left the use of the steering wheel seems to be for show you may as well just tape the acceleration button down and come back later.

So its not just me.....

I pick the best car, with the best handling and its like I'm driving on ice..

I'm not novice at racing games, I've tried racing with my keyboard, my XBOX360 controller and even tried a friends steering wheel...
They all suck the same..

Even when your car is finely tuned it can't stick to the road, for some reason even when you have the fastest ranked car they others overtake you like you were standing still...

Its BS...

ehm you presumably play on hardcore to get the most cash? Maybe you are not hardcore, so try some lower difficulty... believe me it is a far better experience to play on severe difficulty than hardcore for starters...

Hmm, I feel this being one of the easiest games I've played, But then again I use the sliding to my advantage. Try taking corners with big slides around curves instead.

Thats what I do. havn't seen any problems controlling the cars yet. Even though the BMW Z4's Driveability SUCKS.

i have it on easy the lowest difficulty and when i slide i go sideways and crash and then flip over I'd be amazed if there was an ice track oh wait that's all the tracks

this is y i always tell my friends..never drink and drive sorry...just kidding...couldn't resist

Thats what happens with me...

But I'll be honest, I don't have the "retail" version..
Maybe the ice track effect is some kind of copy protection...

having no problems done approx 30 races all finished 1st ohh whats that i CAN drive lolol
