Daughter bought it for me for my birthday. :-)

Bonus... could you do a mini review once you've played it a couple of hours? I'm probably going to get my copy next week. I think you have a fanatec, how does it work with it? Is there still that grinding of the wheel common with most codies games.

C'mon guys - REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW! :-)

It's ok I guess...

Have only had about 2 hours at it, spent most of that time trying to get a wheel set up that feels ok. Still not much luck in that department. And Crimson, it sure does grind away just like other codemaster games, the big difference with this one is, I still have not found a setting to get rid of it. Tried Dirt 3, F1 2011/12 setting all with no luck. I think I might upgrade to the latest firmware and see it that helps. I don't use the chat cable, so that bit wont worry me.

I might have to use the 360 controller only for this one.. I hate fiddling around. At least until someone else online finds a way to disable the horrid wheel feel.

Apparently reducing the FFB to 20 on wheel weight and 100 in game fixes up the grind

I hope to have another play in the morning, will let you know. I know I have adjusted it to a point where there is no grind, but it then has f all feedback, may as well use the controller.

OK, bit more of a play with the wheel settings and have found this acceptable for now. At least you can drive the thing.

In Game Settings;
FFB - ON
Vibration Strength - 100
Wheel Strength - 100
Wheel Weight - 100

Wheel Setting;
SEN: 420
FF: 100
SHO: 100
DRI: OFF
ABS: 55
LIN: 10
DEA: 000
SPR: 4
DPR: OFF (this is the setting that makes the sucker grind coffee while you drive)
ACL: OFF

Hope this helps someone as a starting point. Still fine tuning now.

Just got it today and played it for a tiny bit. It aint Forza, but I've got forza for forza lol
It is quite fun. I know the handling is unrealistic, but who cares? I wont even bother with the wheel for this one. Not worth the effort. IMHO. It is very pretty though. Looks a bit like Project CARS. But the sounds are the best part.

for those who still have this they have released demo durby free dlc

and came across this if anyone has a spare 190g

thought someone would have posted it wasnt sure  

This game has to be the biggest disappointment of 2013. Played the first one to death but only lasted around 3 weeks with #2.
