What's your PSN? I'll send you an invite. This is a pretty full room
Classic Spa is goddamn insane. It's basically full throttle the whole way around with houses literal feet away from the track with zero runoff and some insane sections like the downhill section after the last turn.
How did people race on that in real life ?

By the way, I really love the realistic dates when you select race settings. I happened to have a full moon at the nordschleife and my goodness, go have a cruise there at night. The moon is so bright just turn your headlights off, it looks fantastic!
What date?

I'm driving in the Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo with a multi class ST/GT3/GTE multiclass. The ambient temperature is 36 degrees celcius which is hot.
About every race my engine keeps blowing consistently around one and a half laps in out of three. I'm trying everything to get it to stop happening, anyone know why?

I'm done for tonight. These menu freezes are making me want to do something I don't want to do. Time for Battlefield 1.

Penguin, we're not seeing any menu freezes or hearing other reports. Can you give me more information on when exactly they occur? Is it multiplayer only? Is the game fully installed? How are the freezes manifesting exactly?

I've blown engines more than a few times already. I'm guessing some causes are if AI have tapped me, I tap AI, I'm in dirty air or after an off-road excursion(not too sure about this one, but I went off, didn't hit anything and half a lap later, I was told I have engine damage and loss of power).

@DesertPenguin09 - Don't double-post, that's what the Edit and +Quote features are for.

I finally figured out the TC and ABS thing. It toggles through Off - Low - High. I hit it once, checked the menu and saw it showed Low instead of High from when I manually set it in the menus. Hit it again, checked the menu and it was on High.

Two things i noticed with both P1s
First neither back flame
already have over 100 miles in the GTR and its pretty silly to see both P1s not back flame 
Second thing i noticed is the back wing doesn't move on neither? With the normal P1 the back wing goes forward when you break and it goes down when at high speed? With the GTR is changes position when at high speed, neither of that is happening?
Other then those two things i love the game
Edit
i stand corrected on the normal P1? The back wing does react to the speed change

Okay, I'm now shocked. It's easier for me to drive a Porsche 935 with no assists than a Gr.A Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R. I figured the 935 would be crazier than the Skyline.

Keep playing more and you might spot a backflame also
Joking aside I'll look into it.

Im getting that too.
It looks like that it gets slower the more I use it.
My quick race menu is the more used and the slowest. If I get back from a race it is freezing for 10-15 seconds. If I got from the main menu it gets the same. Other menus are faster but they seem slower from the begining. EDIT: Im on PS4.

To prevent double post I am posting here another subject.
Thanks to Ian @IanBell and @The_American presence (thanks for answering me!) I would like to point out that some cars (it should not be few) are pretty bad with stock setup. Some of them undriveable. I have tried only about 10-15 cars, so there´s likely some more. These are:
- Clio Cup
- Megane Road Car
- Audi A1
- McLaren 720S (the easier from the list)
Its quite strange that these first 3 hatch cars are harder than a Acura NSX GT3 to drive. Or even Toyota GT1. They are supposed to be entry cars for begginers, but they are beasts to drive. They should be easy drive. The McLaren being difficult is something believable althought.
Also, I would like to point that your very fast AI (someone or something really should point out that it is the AI that got faster from PC1 and not the player that got slower) is faster than usual in Group A and GT1.
In Group 5, the AI has more grip (or at least it looks like) and starts way faster than the player. Its almost impossible to race with Gr. 5 cars against the AI, since the AI gets way more acceleration.
It would be good if SMS provided a list of the cars recommended to be used in the snow. I´ve tried the Ford F150 (the "truck") and the Toyota GT 86 and they were fine. Tried RallyCross cars in the snow, and they are very hard to drive there, but way easier without snow. Tried VIntage Touring Nissan on snow at Spa Historic. I couldnt even climb the Rouge.
There are bugs on the game but I think there are enough people who already pointed that out. And I could write a review, but a lot of people already done that (although some reviews are quite exaggerated or unrealistic).
PS: Group A is out of balance. Ford Sierra is way faster in AI hands, and the BMW is way slower. Some categories need to have their balance of perfomance reviewed. From now, I would point, without even testing since the difference is so big that observation is enough, excluding Road Cars: Group A and Vintage Touring (both VT). A nice way to test the balance is putting the AI to do qualify for 15-20 minutes and look if there is a faster or slower car.

I can confirm there are tire marks that show on grass. Not only that they are the best I have seen in a game as when you zoom in on photomode you can clearly see shards of grass and mud flicking up as you go. It leaves tracks on every wheel from when you press brake.
Awesome
^^ mud as you slide

I noticed this too, thanks for the confirmation. Would be nice if the in-game message when switching assist would mention the level they are at, instead of just on and off. Would be less confusing that way.
