    I had exactly the same response to Sachsenring.
    Couldn't stand it at first, now it's one of my top 5 tracks.
    Some times it just takes a while to click.
    (Though I'll still hate Macau to my dying day. :D )

    Second time today i see someone saying something positive about the sachsenring. Too much for me not to share that i hate that track :D
    Macau is great tho (minus the hairpin perhaps). Luckily theres plenty of tracks to choose from :D

    There are a handful of tracks in RR that leave a lot to be desired, as a first impression but I've found these to eventually supply the most satisfaction when gaining consistent laps. Lets face it, if your brain is not on the verge of total meltdown after finishing a race, what's the point? Turn 11 and the run up to it, at the Sachsenring, whilst badgering for position, is pure butt clenching magic and defines the whole point of racing for myself and the team (which consists of me and 2 Staffy's so ignore that bit).
    The tougher they are the more satisfaction in taming them, bring on some more, good place to start would be a Brit pack, with all it's gnarley naggeryness, of course S3 will have to come up with some rain but then, if we can all pretend we're racing drivers ;) we can all pretend it's not raining in Blighty!

    Couldn't say.
    Then again, on the verge of total meltdown is pretty much the default state of my brain, so...... :D

    I only start a race just because my brain already is molten. :confused:

    Is this a real therapist or one of your imaginary friends pretending to be one? :p
    Either way, you can tell him from me that I don't suffer from insanity.
    I'm enjoying every minute of it. :D

    You all are just lines of texts from a wire. :confused: And then this thing now named "virtual reality". :eek:

    o_O

    The question is not whether Schroedinger's cat is dead or lives, but the question is whether it ever has been there in the first. :rolleyes:

    *Cough*....have to admit you're right...it's also very different from the GTR2 version, nice atmo at sundown, nice flow....very good for multiclass too. I stand corrected....damn ! :)

    Very much enjoying Dubai ( on sale!)...I had run some laps in GTR2, but this is a treat. It's really perfect for endurance/GT racing...fairly long and flowing with fast sweepers and tricky corners. Being able to run a mixed grid of 60+ cars is the selling point, I think. Bravo.

    I tunded in on YouTube 2 hours ago and was buffled that it's raining in the desert. That was unexpected. You can't see a thing in cockpit view. It's all pitch black and the skylines is reflected everwhere. You coulnd't see where the track is. :eek:

    Judging by how long theyve already taken for the current lap id be close to twice as fast as them when walking ;) :D

    We noticed massive problems at the weekend, with the pit entry. We had a 2 hours community race on saturday, and almost everybody in the field got a drive through penalty while entering the pits because of cutting/track limit abuse.

    Example, this entry gave a penalty
