just got to have another crack today.....wow......really loving this game....the cars seem to handle a lot better, even when I'm sideways Razz

....rivals mode is great.....but can be very frustrating when you are a milli second off the pace.

...and looks like I'll be getting into a fair bit of drifting......seems to be a lot more stable than FM3

I haven't been using the clutch, is it worth practising and playing that way?

In FM3 even if you weren't using the clutch you could give the accelerator a little blip as you changed down gear and it would rev match better than letting the game do it for you. I used to do it before I learnt to use the clutch. I haven't got FM4 yet so I'm only speculating that it would still work, give it a try Smile

I would recommend learning to use the clutch (even if it's just a button on your wheel) as you're able to change gears much faster and it can easily be worth 0.5s/lap in the lower classes.

Yeah, I noticed this too. Especially in the V8's and any other touring car. I've never been that good with the clutch though. I use a controller and have absolutely no feel for it. The same can't be said when I have a wheel and pedals though.

Looks like there are some new power cars.

It hasnt been long, so Im guessing new power cars will come and go.

But from what I have seen there a lot of new changes, bimmers can have awd drive train for example. Some have had PI major adjustments (major in some cases) - case in point some of the Audis.

I have seen some impressive results come from the Lotus Exige, the BMW E30 M3 (with AWD and E93 M3 engine + mods), Lancia 037, and the Ford Sierra Cosworth...

I will post more reviews as they come to hand.

Well done, if you want to rank up quickly then jump in some online racing. For me, I am liking the World Tour now I have worked out how these AI are playing they are proving quite a challenge, to me anyway.

they go up a notch or 7 when you get to race class, the little mongrels haha, ive had to turn rewind on .....sad i know

lol. AI are ruthless this time around. Im liking the Drag racing but i want the traction back they had the 1st day i got the game. oh well at least we got the leaderboards reset.

haha yeah i noticed as i was leveling up, they start to be alot more agressive, but i do find it fun, i'll have to have a shot at online soon, i've only really modded up my little 22b which i was a bit dissapointed with the 3.6L engine not been able to be swapped over into it, that engine in fm3 made that car!
i've done up a r32 though, and holy s*** it goes like the clappers and sounds mean as!!
