    Yikes!!! I'll be the first to admit that I'm that good a driver. But.............
    I think there is something wrong. For some reason, in Race mode, the DTM 2013 cars (for this track only) feels like it has 2 flat tires in the rear. I have tried other tracks and the 2013 DTM cars seem fine.

    ***Edit***
    I tried GT3 cars at Portimao DTM 2014, DTM 2015.....none behave like this.
    Checked the default car settings, Tried Brake Bias.........
    But for some reason, the DTM 2013 cars at this track only - constantly swaps ends
    To clarify....This is the Single Race mode, practice (before qualifying). I wasn't able to complete one single lap.

    Can anyone verify this?

    Here are 2 videos.............

    Practice mode: DTM 2013 @ Portimao/Default setup/Get Real/Tire wear on/Fuel use on
    You will note that the car doesn't do anything out of the ordinary.





    THEN.....I switched to Single Race mode (same settings from my practice session) and this is what I ended up with........

    Who has the flat tire remote? ;)

    That might explain why the HUD shows the DRS as green in Practice Mode and grey during the practice for the Race Mode.

    Everybody should try it out.

    The spin recovery could be a great time saving skill for races. After awhile, I could spin, face the right direction, be in the right gear, and accelerate as I finished the spin (most of the time). Contrary to the video title, I did actually have fun doing all those spins and trying to keep it on the track.

    How's that for "glass half full" :D

    after further review, it is just the Mercedes that isn't loading the rear wing properly. FY
