Hey guys i bought this game yesterday. And i find it uneasy to win races with a stock car, For example ill use the YARIS race, in Beginner Series races. A stock 99 VITZ will not win this race regardless of how good you are. The car cost me 7.5k used, I dumped 20k into it. payout for winning gold....4.5k 7.5-20= -12.5 Now Im pondering to myself how will i ever make money in the long run with this game. And plus it puts a burden on my conscious when i throw a stage 2 turbo in my cheesy Soccer mom Yaris to win this pathetic race. And so, i result in playing these wacked out Special Event Races to win good money. Might as well race the Oscar Meyer Wiener mobile around just to win a quick buck just to dump it in a stupid Yaris.... Also, the sound is horrible, no damage effects. As far as this being a simulator it sucks and it sucks bad. All in all the game is pretty fun and easy, until you realize your actually loosing more money then what you win.
