Anyone else tried it? I was initially very disappointed with it, but after getting the very latest video driver and rebooting - my machine had been on for well over a week - performance was drastically improved. The only problem I’ve had is that sometimes it fails to see my Sidewinder wheel, and I blame Vista for that because it happens outside the game too. I’m trying it on a P4D-3400 with 2 GB and a Geforce 8600GTS running Vista Home Premium. My main disappointment with the game itself is that you’re given very powerful cars: I’d have preferred a modest car and a powerful one instead of the two powerful cars - I have no interest in the drifting part. But the race is fun, the AI drivers are vicious, and you cannot run into other cars with impunity, unlike previous TOCA games. ---

[QUOTE=Quartz] Anyone? [/QUOTE] I’m about to download it for the Xbox360, will get back with thoughts. I’m a bit dissapointed they’ve moved away from including Australia’s V8 Supercars, it was my primary reason for playing the previous games.
