Well I can see some mixed views here, cool! Personally myself I don't cheat until i've beaten the game myself. Well I've beaten this game to many times to remember long before ever making a hybrid. This game is awsome for physics and stuff like that. I love racing games that or at least try to have good physics. But as always there come a time when you play enough that it just looses the challenge when you become better at it.Even playing with cars that are evenly matched, it's still a pretty easy game to beat. Now that I play it with faster cars, every car in the normal game just are way to slow. Nothings a challenge anymore. But with hybrids, the game keeps getting new life into it because the cars are fast, very fast if you can make a good one, and now instead of waiting for the race to finish because it takes forever on some of them, I'm trying to stay on the edge of my seat because some of the cars i've made are so fast that it actually feels like i'm in the car sometimes.I almost feel the g-forces. I race over and over with my friends and the action is really intense. Personally myself I think they should of put very fast cars in this game ( the f1 cars are actually pretty slow for what the game could do) The only reason why I think they didn't was or is depending on how fast the car is, the camera can't keep up to the cars sometimes. Not only that, I don't know if anyone else has had this happen, but when your racing very fast with hybrids, every one in a while it's like you encounter very rough draft possibly from a couple laps back that just seems to slap you into the wall, or sometimes make it hard to drive. This is with the boost off. Try this, with boost on full, race to cars that are not identical. Put well whatever race you want, I would use the test track if you have some fast hybrids. Let on car take of for at least 5 laps. Now let the second car go, Your first car for example, lets say has a high speed of 400, your second car has a high speed of 300, watch what happens. I was cruising at 400+ and my friend blew by me only going 350, and leaving me in the dust.btw this has nothing to do with the invisible draft that slamms you into a wall every once in a while. A fyi I always race with boost off.
